Next best thing to the car

One way to get her to sleep

A little playtime before bathtime

Finished another dinner

After a successful dinner

Well, she ate the whole bowl of Rice cereal. Seems like she eats better in the evening than in the morning.

Time to add variety to her diet.

Olivia turns 5 months

A new present from Gramma and Grampa Hart.
Our house is starting to look like the Fisher Price section at Sears.

A little outside time in the shade

The whole family spent some outside time today since it was so nice out. We stayed out of the sun though and found a shady spot. Rascal even got in on the action

The latest pre bath ritual

At last, the huggies are off and all is well unless something happens that may require a change of sheets. She gets on the bed and rolls around like crazy.

Babies Everywhere

Today Olivia hosted her boyfriends at a playdate. You can see in the picture Norman, Olivia, Domenic and Trystan. They all had a good time playing, sleeping and eating. Mommies had a good time eating cake, but you don't want to see that!

Olivia sported her nautical little dress given to her by Auntie Pat and Uncle Phil which Pat warned for her to be careful and not pull up her dress around all those little boys. Hee hee.

A good way to keep her entertained

Moving around abit more in the crib

She is not only roling over now, but using the whole crib

Forgot the tub

The last trip to Macleod, we realized that we forgot the bathtub. So, there is always the kitchen sink.

Getting ready for bathtime

Some of her clothes are getting a little tight to get off. Or maybe it just looked like a good picture to take?

Olivia and her Great Uncle Gordon

Uncle Gordon was in Macleod when we were down, so a good photo op arose.

So which hat should she wear???

A couple of the hats have a little extra room in them. She wasn't really in a smiling mood for this.

Vote for your favorite hat

Olivia was modeling her new selection of hats.

John, Stephanie, Max and...

Sebastian Wall Giesecke! Welcome to the family. On April 4, 2006 (also Stephanie's birthday) a new little member of the family arrived. Sebastain weighed in at 9 pounds, 5 oz and 21 inches long!! Big Brother Max is loving him and giving him lots of kisses. Eveyone is doing great and Stephanie says this little one is HUNGRY!!

Playing "Spot the Baby"

Testing out the big chair.

Olivia seems to like the big chair.
No seat belts, like her bouncy chair.

Who put who to sleep???

Well it is hard work putting a baby to sleep.
Sometimes it seems like there are too many cameras in the house.

Sleepy Puppy

Lil Rascal sometimes just goes and hides when all is crazy and he has had enough. He hasn't lost his place on the bed and he makes sure to let us know when there are other doggies outside playing. Best of all, he makes sure we know Olivia is up and moving around with a little "wwooff"!

Look at me! I rolled over!

So, Olivia has mastered the rolling over this past weekend. She is all over her crib like a little pin ball now! Watch out, shes on the move!

All Shopped Out

This is Olivia after a day of shopping. She didn't even get the chance to take her shoes and hat off!

The best part of my day

This is my welcome home after the workday. Pretty hard to beat this. Maybe if there was a beach, a Corona with a lime, Jimmy Buffett playing Margaritaville, and, well maybe have to work on that.

New use for a beer cooler

Had to try this out while she still fits. She doesn't look to sure about it?

First piano lesson

Olivia has the fingers of a piano player, so we thought she should try them out. Gramma got a chance to play a duet with with her grand
daughter.

A Visit to see Joyce

We made it over to Joyce's in hometown Fort Macleod. Kim and Terry came over for a visit as well.

Yes, Olivia loves her bathtime

Nothing like a nice relaxing bath before bedtime.

Group hug

Doesn't this just look cozy. Rascal is definatly not being ignored.

Another successful bath time

All bathed, dressed and ready for bed.

It's family walk time

Although it may not look it, It warmed up enough to go for a walk. Rascal went along for protection of coarse.

Can it get any better??

After a hard day of feeding and sleeping and feeding and sleeping and managing to find time to laugh at Mommy, Daddy and Rascal, it is time for a nice warm soak in the new tub. This is a racier model than the sink and more comfortable too. I can practice my kicking and splashing in this model.

All dressed up

She is definatly stylin in this outfit.
Notice the ears. She is a snow baby.
Since March is our month of snow.
Auntie Pat found some matching shoes, which is important in this fashion consious family. Well the women are anyway.

Stupid Parent Tricks??

A look into the future to see what Olivia may look like as a blond.

Rascal makes sure he is not left out

Olivia in her favorite position and Rascal in his. Of coarse Olivia does like other shoulders to lean on..

Post bath time

Another suit that is getting a little small.

Bath time again

She is getting a little big for the sink. May have to start using the duck pretty soon.

Grandmamma and grandaughter

Do you think they shop at the same place?
Actually Gramma Hart found this outfit for Olivia on a recent shopping trip. Sure seems to be a big selection for baby clothes.

Warm suit from auntie Stephanie

Olivia likes this nice warm suit, especially lately when she has gone for an outing
