Check Out Her Kicks

Busy errand day Friday for us. Before we started our errands we wanted to have some fun with Missy O and what better way to have fun than going to Kidco. At this point we should invest in a monthly pass for how much we go. Her favorite is the "Market Place." They did a great job setting up different areas for the children's imagination. I've talked about it before but to brush up they have a play yard; which is a bunch of cars and jungle gym, tool workshop, post office, market place, school, library, home, and restaraunt. It's a pretty neat place and I love how it is play time but influences them to think. Olivia's favorite is the market place. I should say more obsessed than anything. Every time we come here she goes directly to this area first. Recently they added a "fridge" and Olivia right away went crazy for it! She likes to pick out her groceries and put them in the cart. On her own (at 15 months) goes over to the cash register to check out. So smart she is already! She can do this for hours if we let her.

After Kidco we had some shopping to do. Our favorite! Only a couple months ago we got her some big kid shoes and sandals, since she started to walk at 10 months old. Now she has gotten so good at walking, she even runs! Great exercise for mommy and daddy. Lately I have noticed that her shoes were getting kind of hard to put on. I had a feeling she was already out growing them. I felt bad because the tennis shoes that my mother in law (Kellie) got for her, she only wore maybe 5 times or so. I mentioned my concern to Blake and suggested we take her in to get her feet measured. Mommy was right! She moved up a WHOLE size already. We found these cute Sketchers that light up and of course, Livy fell in love with right away! Thankfully they were on clearance! Normally they run 50 dollars (for toddlers!) and we got them for 20 bucks! Complete steal. When we got home I remembered that my mom got me (for Livy) cute high top tennis shoes when I was pregnant.. Guess what?! She fits those now too!!! Olivia is set for the fall! I'm obsessed with how girly and obnoxious these are!

We had a couple more errands to do (and of course Olivia showed everyone her new shoes). Dinner time came around and the hubby took us out for a date. Even though Livy was a little bit fussy today, due to teething, we took the risk. Dinner was amazing and little miss was on her best behavior! It's so cute seeing her in a restaurant settings. She looks at the menu and always says "Ohhhhh..." Today she picked out mac n cheese and corn for dinner... Yum! I'm so proud of the little lady she is becoming, even through the tantrums. Every day she shows us something new that she has learned. Makes me sad for how fast she is growing up!
