boy it was a busy month...

Guess who turned over?
that's right! Baby girl! She's officially on the move!
and boy is she super proud of this accomplishment! My lil' apple turnover!
Here's big eyes in her pretty party dress! She can tottaly raise her head now when she's on her tums! We get in lots of tummy time now!

I asked baby girl how many monthes she is now and she just raises her toes and gives me this "duh" look and I was sooooo moded.

We went to her pal Jessamyn's birthday party and there was a petting zoo! Olive was way into the chickens! The party was carnival theme. The best idea ever.

and the goats!

There were frosty sno-cones and I felt so bad that Olive couldn't have any so I had 3 in hopes that it would come out in my breast milk and she could try it.
Here's her ol' Elvia taunting her with the sno-coney goodness..

Her buddy Fred gave her this el-e-phant and it's made outta recycled towels and it's so super cute!


Olive just told one of her knee slappin' jokes! She is a RIOT. Then she took a nap.

Check out this a-dorable toy that her auntie Josselyn sent her from Amsterdam! It makes jangly noises.

She is really into this mobile that hangs on her bassinet. She either coos and talks to it like crazy or....
she gets a really serious look on her face and flaps her arms and kicks super violently.
She's been getting super strong in the legs and can stand for almost 20 seconds (with me holding her, of course). I think it's very impressive.

We went out to the beach for Michelle Oura's birthday!

It was such a great day. It was actually kinda chilly and the water was freezing and it was just such a great break from the stifling, hot weather we've been having. It was overcast most of the day but there was still bits of sunshine that would sneak through.





We even saw a school of dolphins swim by! It was so perfect!

We put her in her playpen for awhile under a tree and she was all jazzed about that. She loves lookin' at trees! I tried to keep her all super snuggle bear under her blankies but she kept getting all excited and kicking them off.

Baby girl beckons you into her glamorous lair....

Here is Miss Olive just chillin' with Madison at our mommy meeting! We mainly sit around and gab about our topsy turvy lives and the kids squirm and crawl around us. Being a new momma can be such a daunting task sometimes so it's really great to have a network of ladies to question stuff with. Our last meeting was filmed for that Clean House show for the style network. Maybe baby girl can finally make her nationwide debut! There's Jade with his electric green zebra shorts! He's a little toughie! A tiny steamroller.....though Olive looks like she's getting in some good flexes!
For daddy bear's birthday we went for breakfast at Johnny Reb's. It was deelish! Olive really wanted to know what was going on....
....so I let her sit on my lap and she couldn't believe how much daddy was about to eat! She was super duper jeal-o.
Chicken fried steak!
Grandma Janet came by again from Phoenix and they were so glad to see each other!
time went by too quickly, however and sooner than you'd know it, we were back at the airport.

"Grandma come back!!"
We did all have a nice day at Griffith Park when she was here, though. Teddy showed Olive all the wonders of nature.

While we were there, Olive found a new use for her wrist buddy!


You are so busted!

This was part of Olive's special 4th of July salute.
Don't you just want to hug her like crazy when you look at this?
I can't stand it! I'm gonna go wake her up.........
Olive just LOVES going on strolls through our backstreets! You can tell she's having a good time when she gets straight legs like in this picture. She's carazy about looking up at the trees and cooing. She actually gets a tiny bit mad when we have to go in!

We went to a Kwik-e-mart in Burbank to get some Krusty-o's and Duff beer but all they had was Buzz cola and those gross pink doughnuts. We got a squishee, too. The security guard's dinner was a doughnut and a squishee. His name was Pelon.
