Peaceful Thursday

This has been a very relaxing Thursday, especially with the holiday weekend coming up, we wanted to take it easy. I had class in the morning and right after we went high chair shopping! We got a free high chair when I was pregnant and it worked out great. Unfortunately, because it was a hammy down, it is starting to fall apart. We have been putting it off for about a month now but it is finally time to upgrade. We headed to Target and other baby stores, and we couldn't find anything that we liked. Either it was over priced or flat out ugly! Being the tech guy my hubby is, he said to check out Amazon. Little behold I found one within the first 5 minutes! It is supposed to arrive Saturday! I love Amazon... So easy and simple.

I decided it was time to update the monthly planner for September. Thinking August was a busy month for us, September is just as bad, if not worse! Between Blake's new job, school, birthdays, family coming into town, trips, and so on we are in for one crazy month! Blake started to see that I was getting a little stressed out balancing everything and suggested we go for a walk. We tend to go on a lot of family walks. To get some fresh air, quality time and no distractions helps us to relieve any stress. Plus Olivia & Stitch LOVE it. For her birthday back in May we got her this cute princess car. It first started as a rocking car then eventually turns into a push car. It's pretty neat. Livy is finally at the age where she understand to push her self and big enough for balance (somewhat). So for this walk we took her princess car for the first time and... SHE HAD A BLAST! The photo itself shows how much excitement she had. Because it was nearly 100 degrees out, we did a very short family walk. Just like our normal routine we all got some water and turned on a family movie. Olivia seemed to be in her independent time and I took advantage of doing a quick reading for school. All of a sudden Blake whispered to me to look. Olivia found a napkin and was dunking it in her cup. Then she would walk over to Stitch and was "bathing" him. She has never done this before and it was down right hilarious! I even caught it on video. Livy did this for about 45 minutes until she got tired. These two crack me up and the look on poor Stitch's face was priceless!
