Hello There!
Well, hi!
It’s been a while, I know.
Lots happening in the last few weeks. Everybody in FamiLeezy is growing fast. Baby #2 is getting bigger and bigger, I think this week she’s supposed be over a foot tall! Wow! Yeah, and it looks like it too, I’m definitely looking pregnant. I’m feeling pretty good these days. Uncomfortable, but good. Everyday it gets harder to hold Olivia, poor baby #2 is getting kinda squished, (Olivia pretty much sits right on top of her) but we’re dealing. I feel like I’ve been pregnant forever, but at the same time this is going by pretty darn fast. I don’t know if I’m going to be ready for a newborn by May. We haven’t really done anything to get ready for her, I mean is there much to do anyways? I don’t think she’s going to get her own room, I mean I’m not going full out and doing a nursery or anything, I think the girls will just share a room. Until we win the lottery and can add on to our house, the computer room trumps another baby room.
Anyways, so what have we been doing the past few weeks…
The Pampered Chef thing is going really well. I’m actually surprised at how much fun it is, too. It’s been about a month since I officially started, and I’ve done 4 shows, I’ve earned more than a few hundred dollars (not bad for 4 three hour nights of work) and I’ve earned $300 in “Pampered Chef Dollars”, which means my kitchen stuff has been way upgraded – for FREE! It’s really excitign to get all this cool stuff without paying for it, but, I have to admit, it’s even more exciting to get in the mail! It’s like it’s my birthday or something.
(PLUG) I’m always looking for people to host shows, so if you’re interested in getting free stuff too, let me know. Oh, and by the way…. I have a website, so if you ever want to buy any Pampered Chef stuff, or you just want to browse, go to my site (and add it to your favorites!)

So, Olivia and I went to a Gymboree class. I took her a while ago, I think she was 3 or 4 months old, it was lame, she was too young. But now that she’s ten months, it’s a blast! She had sooooomuch fun! She’s definitely not a shy baby. She’s talks to (more like yells at) the other babies and is completely fearless when it comes to all the climbing thingys. We had a lot of fun, and it totally wore her out, which was nice.
She has become quite the eater as well. She’s added table foods to her menu, so she eats a lot of the same things we’re eating for dinner. The other night she had some beef stew that I made, minus the beef – but she ate the carrots, potatoes and rice, actually she devoured it. She really likes pasta and tomato sauce, and spinach tortellini. Last night I made BBQ chicken pizza, and she could not get enough BBQ chicken (chicken sauteed in BBQ sauce) which surprised me.
Olivia is also drinking her formula really well. She has a bottle before bed, and the last 5 nights she has slept ALL NIGHT! HALLELUJAH! Yeah! If she stays up until 9, then she sleeps until 7-7:30 AM!! I’m not used to it yet, so I still wake up around 3am, but still….ALL NIGHT! Thank the Lord!
Then around lunch time I usually cut up some fruit, she eats it herself (with her fingers) and then has her milk in a sippy cup. It’s adorable. She sees me get the cup out, and she starts “oooo-ing” and “ah-ing”, then races into the living room, where I set up a pillow and blanket for her, and she lays there waiting for her milk. She’s so funny.
Olivia’s weaknesses : Food & Clothes. She gets soooooo excited over the two of them. It’s hilarious! She’s definitely her mother’s daughter!
She has also started pushing the furniture around the house. Well, the kitchen table chairs, her saucey, her rocking giraffe and elephant – really anthing that is pushable. She’s defintely on her way to walking! Every once in a while we’ll catch her just standing there on her own, not holding on to anything. I’m not sure if she realizes it though.
LOL, funny story. This morning O woke up at 6am, way too early for me. We ate breakfast together, then she was playing & watching her favoritest show, Sid the Science Kid (on PBS). I could barely keep my eyes open by nine o’clock. I put her in her jumpy (the seat that bounces in the doorway) and laid on the couch, she was going crazy jumping like a maniac and lauging. I don’t know what happened, but I totally fell asleep. I woke up in a puddle of drool and the house was quiet. I look over at the jumpy, and there Olivia is. Sound asleep! Here’s the one picture I got of it…
And here are some more pictures from the past couple weeks…
Fun, Fun, Fun
Hi there!
We have been having so much fun lately, so much that I really don’t have time to write today, but I thought I’d atleast post some super cute pictures…
Well, this isn’t exactly the most flattering picture of her, but check out those chompers! They’re HUGE! All came in within a week of each other – yeah, all 4 of them! Freakin worst week of my life!
My favorite pic of her brushing her hair!
