No? Mom.

Olivia has turned into quite the little talker...and I just LOVE it! It's so much fun to hear her come up with new words everyday, and to put words together! She puts 2-4 words together frequently and she just sounds adorable.

But one of my favorite things that Olivia says is "no"...and I love it because she says "no" for "yes". It cracks me up. It sounds more litle a question and is said in a very quiet voice. She does, of course, say "no" for "no". That sounds more like NO! or NO-NO! :) Not quite as cute... I love when I ask her if she wants something--like today I asked her if she wanted a snack and she said "no?" and then walked upstairs to her highchair. Love it...

She has also transitioned from calling me mama to either Mommy or Mom (WHAT!) I am so not ready to be called Mom. Mommy I can handle, Mom not so much. We went to the Children's Museum with Bridgit, Oran, and Jackson last week and I kept hearing this little voice saying "Mom!"...it took me a while to respond because I figured it was some 6 year old calling for their mom...not my 16 month old!

Dream #2

I had baby dream #2 last night! In my dream the little babe was....

A boy! Crazy. We named him Michael Eli (not even names we have considered...how does the mind work??).

The weird thing is it follows the same pattern as my pregnancy with Olivia. I had my 1st dream with her that she was a girl, and it was very vivid. The second dream, baby was a boy, and also very vivid. The rest of the dreams that followed were mixed, but not as vivid. Okay, so I know I think too much about it...I'm not weird though, I just think it's interesting. :)

Dr. appt. on Thursday!

Baby Ruby Update

I had my first pregnancy/baby dream. I dreamed we had a little girl and we named her Ruby. When I woke up I thought, WHAT! Ruby? Now the name is growing on me...not that if baby is a girl we will be naming her Ruby...but it's cute. So for now, little bebe is affectionately called Baby Ruby by Ryan and I. Hopefully if it's a boy it won't have any gender identity issues. :)

I'm 15 weeks today! Hooray! I can't believe how fast things are going. We have been so busy lately, just with summer and work and vacations and life, that I feel like I hardly have time to think about this little babe! It's funny how when I was pregnant with Olivia, it was all I thought about. I certainly think about it this time, but time goes by and then I go, Oh yea, I'm pregnant! Usually I'm reminded by waves of nausea. (Seriously, anytime you want to go away, I'm ready for it!) It is getting better for the most part, but I have still been feeling sick a lot and still barfing. Gross. :) I'm dying for our appointment next week so I can hear that little bitty heart again!

4th of July


Yes, yes we're here! We have been incredibly busy with trips to SD to visit friends and up to the cabin to visit family! Here's some pics from the 4th of Olivia!

Swimming fun!
