We're Back

We didn't go anywhere. I just forgot how to blog. And now I remembered.

We've visited our friends, the Prescotts in Oregon. They took us on a Jet Boat ride. That was very fun. Olivia had a blast going 80 MPH on the water.

pictures and more pictures

Lots of pictures from the last month. As you can see Olivia is not walking on her own, but she is standing and walking by holding our hands or using her baby walker. She is babbling like crazy occasionally mimicking us by saying "yeah" or "uh-oh"

13 Month Photo Session

2 weeks ago, my photographer friend came over to capture Olivia with photo skills that I do not possess. Here are photos from the day, in our living room and the park nearby.

If you want any of the pics they may be decent enough quality to get from here.
