Olivia had her first t-ball practice this morning. Her cousin, Izzy, and her are the only girls on the team. They are really cute with their pink gloves and pink balls and pink helmets.
I was really proud of how she did this morning. She didn’t even cry when she got her first softball hit to the head. Sheesh. . .what are the odds of that happening at the first practice?

Why is this little girl so happy?
Because she finally got a new water table (thanks to spoiling grandparents.) Her old one was destroyed by hail last summer. . .it literally put two big holes in it. She’s been begging for a new one ever since. We didn’t want to get her a new table to use for one summer and then outgrow it. I think for a second we forgot that we were having another baby. Of course, it will get plenty of use in the years to come. LOL!
Olivia and I spent quite awhile this evening looking back at her baby pictures and videos. She could literally do that all day long, but I probably could too. She loves to watch videos of herself before she could talk or crawl or walk. She thinks it is hilarious to listen to herself babble, squeal and laugh. And, I learned something that I will remember with our new baby. . .do not worry about messes in the backgrounds of pictures. Those messes are Olivia’s favorite parts. She loves to look through pictures and find her old toys. It cracks her up to find things that she still plays with or remembers. Here are a few of her favorites.
So, I will remember that the messier the background, the better. LOL! And the best time to get pictures is when they can sit, but before they are mobile. You simply sit them down, make them laugh and you have a great picture!
I will also remember to take video of every stage of speech development. . .it changes so rapidly and my heart just melts with videos like this:
And, just for fun. . .here’s one of the first pics of her in glasses. I can’t believe I ever kept them on her at that age! What a sweetie!
