When Ollie was born people would always tell me to enjoy her while I could because time flies. I blew it off, thinking that time would continue to go by the same as it always had. Boy was I wrong! There are not enough hours in the day to squeeze in enough kisses let alone get everything done that needs to be done. I cannot believe that a year has passed since her birth. The only good thing about time passing so quickly is that it all gets better everyday.
Ollie becomes more fun with each passing minute. We can see more personality (which is mine made over so it might not be the best trait I could pass on) everyday. She is a, well, we'll just say "determined" little girl. She is very independent and gets mad when you attempt to assist her. Ollie is quite the climber. The other day I walked into our living room to find her sitting on the bottom shelf of our book case. She can also now climb up and down stairs. Ollie has yet to take any steps and doesn't seem to be interested in walking any time soon. Why should she when crawling gets her from point A to point B in record time. The only problem is I now have to stain stick the knees of all pants before washing, but that won't change even once she is walking.
With all this beautiful weather, we have been visiting the beach. Turns out, Ollie is a beach babe, just like her mama. She plays in the sand all day and doesn't seem to mind when it gets into those "sensitive" areas. Ugh!
Ollie also loves the water. On this particular day, a small sandbar formed right off the beach allowing a small pool of water free of waves to form. Although the water was super cold, we couldn't keep her out of it.
On her birthday, Ollie got her hair cut. Lindsey did a wonderful job and even little O sat through it like a champ. No more mullet!
For her birthday celebration, we had a few friends over for a little fiesta. Everyone enjoyed chips and dip, juice pouches, ice cream and cup cakes. Ollie and friends played in little pools filled with balls, a sprinkler and water table.
We all had a blast! Our family is truely blessed to have such wonderful friends.
