hobbies

lately olivia has been loving a few things...

#1- yes, this would be the push car thing that we got her for her birthday in july that we still have not put together. i am feeling more pathetic than i thought i would as i type this. in our defense, we cannot find adam's drill anywhere and it is definitely a required tool in putting this bad boy together. and hey, she doesn't know what she's missing right? for now she thinks it's pretty fun to rock around in it and honk the horn. it's great seating for dora viewings, too.

catching some early morning 'toons

(no she doesn't have a lazy eye even though it looks like it in this picture...)

playing in her car this morning...

#2- she is also obsessed with puzzles. she is definitely known to be seen carrying a piece around for extended periods of time, as seen here.

#3- she has also taken up coloring. she has a special notebook for this activity, but apparently coloring in one of her books (on every page) is much more fun! it's pretty funny to watch her color...she leans over the paper really far and looks at what she's doing.. so either i do that sometimes and don't notice, or she's blind and needs to zero in a little on the important pictures she is drawing!

I will be sure to have the coloring books and puzzles ready in 2 DAYS!!
P.S. Let's talk about the "early morning 'toons" photo... exactly HOW early are we talking....???

P.P.S. See you at 10! Brody and I can't wait to pick you up!I'm planning on coming inside to help you with the luggage because somehow 2 women with 2 strollers and 2 babies carrying luggage seems easier than 1 woman with 1 stroller and 1 baby. We shall see.

I love her hobbies. She's a busy little lady - and I can't wait to meet her next week :) Our playgroup is planning on the zoo at 11am monday. Looks like jess is picking you up at 10 - will that be one thing too many, or do you want to cruise the zoo for an hour or so when you fly in? There is a brand new baby elephant that was born a few weeks ago that they just allowed to go outside to be on display. We're all dying to see the little thing - although it probably weighs like 400 pounds, I'm sure it's still super cute!

Hi Abbie! I hope you don't mind, but I found your blog from Jon and Stacey's and I'm so happy I did. Your little girl is adorable and congrats on having another one on the way!

If you want an invite to our amazingly boring blog, shoot me an email! bz_merrell@hotmail.com. We'd love to stay in touch with you.
