Cuckoo Bird

Hopefully Olivia will never know that I call her Cuckoo bird when she is being crazy. It is not a good nickname.

We tried to take her to a studio portrait, but the studio didn't take enough pictures. I don't know why they thought that only taking 20 pictures of a 4 month old would work. We may have 2 or 3 good ones, we'll see when we go pick them up.

She chews on her shirts and fingers all the time.

post bath time 

She has a new friend. Olivia meet Olivia the Piggy.

The Olivia twins.

She knows she looks good in blue stripes.

The girls know how to have fun.

Sunday relaxing.

Baby's First Beach Trip

Today we went down the road to Dockweiler Beach. It is pretty easy to get to and very small crowds. We all put on sunblock and went down to the water.

Other than the beach, it's been a lot of time at the house. A lot of me working too much and annoying everyone I live with. Olivia has been playing with toys, more reading, and generally being spoiled. You'll notice that there are more toys in this round of pictures.

I'm not sure when teething begins, but she has been drooling a lot and sucking on her fingers. Is this the normal progression??

Olivia received a very cool package this week. It was from Amber, Mike, Catherine, Mary, and Mister Michael Junior. We opened the package and it was this super cool personalized Olivia quilt. (it's a quilt, right? i don't know all the fancy terminology)

Olivia and her parents love it. Thank you.

she knows there is something important about these 2 words.

Sunny's friend, Sang, was in town from San Francisco, visiting for a few days. He just took his Law Bar exam and will know in a couple of months if he passed.

And a bunch of photos from the last 2 weeks.

stroller rides make me tired.

i'm grumpy just like my dad.

Falling Skies season finale tonight

And I hope it's a good one. I've been watching a lot of TNT television this year, Falling Skies, White Collar, the ridiculous NBA play-offs.

Now that the movie shoot (production) has wrapped, it's time for phase three, editing (post-production). The main relief is that all the co-ordination of people and gear is over, but the film can be made to dominate or fall flat through the editing efforts, which usually requires 3-4 months for an Independent film, we are trying to cram it into 5-6 weeks to meet a film festival deadline. We'll see if it will work, I'm sure with our obsessive compulsive natures we can make our somewhat self-imposed deadline.

More Olivia time for me.

We've got our priorities straight. Me = coffee. Olivia = toys.

Can you guess what song I'm playing? (Of course it's Dylan, Tangled Up in Blue) 

Grandma visit.

This is a very silly picture. 

Olivia tries to hold the bottle and I let her. She successfully fed herself for 15 seconds.

She's getting all the attention she wants with these kinds of looks.

Little toys are all the rage right now.

Laying on her crazy Korean play mat.

Tummy time can be fun when you're crawling on pops.
