Busy, Busy, Busy!

It's June already?!

In some ways, this is great news... no more school/work, no alarms, no crazy lesson plans to create, implement, and differentiate (ha!), going to the pool, etc.

In other ways, this is sad news.... Olivia is growing like a weed, she has had so many "firsts," it's hotter than fire outside, etc.

So, I went back to work on May 22nd. It was a rough day (for real!) but I got through it. Olivia did fantastic! My sweet former co-worker, Caroline, volunteered to watch Livi for the four weeks I went back to work. It turned out better than amazing (if that can even happen). I am SOOOOO grateful for Caroline, her soothing demeanor, and huge heart- seriously, she has a heart of gold!

On May 23rd, Olivia held her bottle for the first time by herself! She looked at me and said with her eyes, "I've got this Mama."

On May 24th, we took Olivia to the pool for the first time. She hated it! It could have been because the water was a tad chilly. She did love snoozing under the umbrella with the warm breeze though. 

Don't you love how she's flicking people off? She learned that from her Daddy!

In the water

Hates the water. Look at that face!

Jamie, Jessica, and Will were there too!

Tuckered out!

 On June 2nd, Olivia rolled over, stomach to back, for the first time with Caroline. Luckily she did it again that night and has been doing it since.

On June 3rd, we celebrated Auntie Boo's birthday!

On June 6th, Olivia went to her first wine festival in downtown Winston Salem. One day she will appreciate that her parents, grandparents, and aunt started her love of wine and fancy drinks early.

We celebrated my grandpa's birthday on June 10th by having milkshakes in honor of him. Jeremy had a peach milkshake while I went with the classic cookies 'n cream.

Olivia matured a bit and has decided that she loves baths now. Please pardon the nudity... she will get me one day for this. :)

Kristen and Alison took Olivia to the pool to try again. This time it was warmer and she had a float. She LOVED it!

Olivia also went on her first date with Luke, the boy across the street. They went to Zaxby's.

Here is some more photos from the month...

No more swaddles!

Love the tongue

Big girl!

Olivia loves all of the attention

Olivia talked me into buying these shoes. The best point she made was that she can share them with Mollie,

Last day of school for Mommy!

On June 18th, Jeremy and I celebrated our four year anniversary. He bought an amethyst band to go with my wedding set so I have my hubby and little girl with me at all times. I love it!

On this same date, we took Olivia to get her four month shots. She did okay; not as well as the two month shots. She has been quite fussy and her thighs are tender. Poor thing doesn't know what happened :(

Here is O's week by week pictures...
