Hmm, haven't been here in a while

Things have been pretty busy the past few weeks. The weekend of the 15th of September we enjoyed a Family Fun Day with my company at Canobie Lake Park, Salem, NH. Olivia is still a bit small to enjoy the rides, but she loved the music stage. She spent quite a bit of time just dancing and having a grand old time in front of a crowd of hundreds of people. Some proof is included:

Two weeks ago I had to go off to Texas for business for a week and that completely upended Olivia's routine as well as Jen's. Things have somewhat settled back into, umm...., normal. Although, sleep has continued to be an issue for us. We purchased a book called "The no-cry sleep solution for toddlers and infants." Wish us luck.

Olivia continues to grow and amaze us. She's starting to form more words from what she hears and anything that has some sort of emotional response she retains and reuses. An excellent example of this comes from her learning how to say "Kenny" who she is definitely enamored with. Kenny (actually, the entire Twomey family) is also really good with her too.

Mimi has also been MUCH, MUCH more tolerant of Olivia and even lets Olivia give her hugs from time to time. Yeah sure there's a lot of meowing and whining, but she doesn't swipe at Olivia which is very important.

The lack of sleep is a tough pill to swallow, but everything else about our precious, little peanut is perfect. We are blessed to have her.
