Who knew Winnie the Pooh was so funny?

Olivia has recently discovered her fingers. The other day she was in her bouncer and it sounded like she was getting fussy. I went to check on her, and she was just "yelling" at her fingers.

Ready to cheer on the stinkin' Cougs :(

Watching Grandma and Grandpa on the webcam.

Olivia still loves her walks, even though the weather is turning cold. Jeremy and I love this hat, because when she moves her head it looks like the little ears are wiggling.

Netflix and the Wiggles!

Jeremy and I finally caved and got a Netflix subscription while I'm on maternity leave. It is cool because it is connected to the X-box, and we can actually instantly stream movies online through the X-box. Yesterday I decided to search for some children's movies and shows, since Olivia is starting to become even more aware of her surroundings, including the television, and I am wondering what damage I'm doing to her to "allow" her to watch my type of shows (like Law and Order, and the Colbert Report). I got a few infant/toddler videos, and we started by watching Sing a Song of Wiggles.

I must confess, that I think I liked it more than Olivia. She fell asleep right after it started, and I continued to watch the rest of the video. The following day, the same thing happened. I'm wondering why I didn't discover The Wiggles until now. I'm beginning to feel an unwavering devotion to them similar to my love for 'N Sync in high school.

My favorite Wiggle is Sam...

Olivia's Busy Week

The past week has been very eventful for Olivia Rose. On Sunday, October 11th, she was blessed in church. She wore a dress that her Grandma Jan made, and her cousins Sofia and Fiona were blessed in. We had a lot of family and friends come to see her blessed including her Grandpa Mitch and Grandma Rose from California and her Uncle Curtice from Washington. She behaved herself very well during the blessing, and her daddy did a wonderful job of blessing her.

Olivia also took her first plane ride from Salt Lake City to San Jose. I was really worried that she would be a terror on the plane and everyone would hate us. She did really well. She slept in my arms most of the trip, and only made a few noises the whole flight. When we were deplaning (is that a word?) the woman sitting right behind be said she didn't even know there was a baby in front of her. Olivia has spent the past week meeting her Uncle Kevin, her Great-Grandma Mary, and of course spending a lot of time with her Grandpa Mitch and Grandma Rose.

Olivia's First Day at Church!

Last Sunday Olivia made her debut at church. She only lasted for sacrament and sunday school - and even then we spent most of the time walking in the halls or rocking in the mother's room.

Olivia has spent some time getting to know her cousins.

And finally, a picture of the Olivia that I know!
