Olivia turns 1 year old!

On Thursday, March 19th, Olivia turned 1 year old. It is absolutely amazing how fast this year has gone. Long gone are the days where she just laid on her blanket and whimpered & coo'd. At one year old, she has been walking since 10 1/2 months and last week started running around the house. She is sheer joy and full of spunk and life. She climbs on chairs, stools and small tables. If we turn away from her for more than 2.5 seconds, she is either climbing up the stairs without us knowing, running around the table or learning how to balance on a stool.
Olivia is a fan of chocolate cupcakes

The characteristic smile she gets when she gets on her stool and balances on her own. She is not content to just sit on a stool/chair...she wants to stand on top of it.


Two happy cousins who enjoy their picture being taken.

Olivia happy she is about to chow down her chocolate cupcake.
All the cousins together picture: If you look in the mirror in the back ground, you'll see that I am trying to entertain the kids to make them smile and look forward. (I failed)
