Forever blowing bubbles

Olivia's favorite new outdoor activity now that she's mastered it, the smartie!

This one's for you, Auntie Momo

Olivia now likes it when I put her hair in pony tails, but wants to touch them, play with them, and have me put them right back in. They last just seconds typically. I got her to leave them alone long enough for a few pictures by telling her we needed to take a picture because Auntie Momo wanted to see them! Here's the cutie!!

Our Derry Idol

Here is a sample of Olivia (still congested) singing a piece from "Sing" as heard on Sesame Street.

Olivia's Chorus (click to hear it)

Lyrics to the Original:

Sing

Written by Joe Raposo
as sung by Nathan Lane and The Oinker Sisters

(The Oinker Sisters are in brackets)

(La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Sing
(Wouldn't you like to sing?)
Sing a song
(Sing a simple little song)
Sing out loud
(Don't you shine when you sing?)
Sing out strong
(And you never will stop, no way)
Sing of good things, not bad
(Just sing of good things)
Sing of happy, not sad
(Happy, happy, happy singing)

Sing
(Don't you ever stop singing)
Sing a song
(We can hear your voice ringing)
Make it simple
To last your whole life long
(You can sing your whole life long)
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
(Don't you worry ..)
All: Just sing
(Keep singing)
Sing a song
Hit it, girls

(La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Sing
(Sing)
Sing a song
(La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Moo's

Yup, its that time of year. Our favorite ice cream place, Moo's, is open for the season. We had our first trip there today. April 6th. In the drizzle. With no sun. 40 degrees.




Relaxing after Moo's. We couldn't believe she ate a whole ice cream!

Easter pictures

Livi had a blast on Easter. She was so much fun to watch doing the egg hunt, and checking out what she got in the eggs. Lucky girl had the egg hunt at home from the Easter Bunny and another at Nana's. Here are a few pictures.

I love the expression of excitement and surprise on her face!

Ah, this is the life!


Livi's masterpiece.... with lots of cracks....


Egg hunt at Nana's house

Enjoying a piece of chocolate. Yum!

Future Rock Star

Olivia has always liked to play with her instruments. Recently, she has begun trying to sing. Well, this morning, she combined the two. She was banging away on her toy piano and singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. So friggin cute! I grabbed the camera, but by the time I had it out she had finished her performance. I had to share the story though!
