splish splash and a surprise

playgroup was at the splash pad this week....last time we went olivia was NOT in to it. she was too scared. this time, she was having fun, but in the most cautious way possible. it's an improvement!


surprise!

cheese!

i kept trying to trick her with that ball by rolling it into the middle when the water was on full speed, but she was not having it. she would wait until the water died down a little and sprint in to retrieve her toy. what a mean mom.

in other totally unrelated news.....

it's

a

GIRL!

we found out yesterday that there will be a little sister joining olivia in january. now i can feel completely justified in everything i've ever purchased for olivia, right? it'll be worn by 2 people! i was being frugal and i didn't even know it.

Yeah! I am so happy for you! I don't know what you wanted but I wanted a girl for you! I feel like that is the best so then they can wear each others clothes and have a sister super close. So they may hate each other at times, but most times it will be great fun!

Two cute little girls!! That's perfect! I can't wait to see them in little matching Easter/Christmas/Fourth of July outfits. I hope they look alike, because Olivia is to-die-for adorable.
