3 Months is Key for Milestones!

It's been a while since we updated I know, mom just can't keep up these days :) It may be because Olivia is EXPLODING with development! On Thursday, June 5th Olivia officially turned three months old and celebrated across the next two days by rolling over (tummy to back), laughing for the first time (REALLY laughing), beginning to suck her thumb, AND starting to babble (incessantly at times, and particularly with Joel). It has been a wonder to watch. Since that two day run she's calmed down a bit, I think she just figured she'd get it all out at once and then enjoy it for awhile! That said, she is a kicking machine lately and she loves to try to hold her bottle while feeding.

In terms of events, in the course of the three weeks since we've last updated the blog Olivia has made her first road trip - a visit to the Carither's house in Richmond where we were lucky enough to have a mini reunion with most (not all!) of the Grattan Street girls. She has also helped mommy clean out her office (Karen is officially a full time stay at home mom now) and visited daddy's new office, attended her first mommy and me event (more for mom than baby), and had her first trip to the nail salon (with mommy and Suzy) for manis and pedis. We also had visits from Ashley & Grey Chamberlain, the McArdle's, and Brenda, and we did some visiting - to the Taylors and mommy's monthly girl's dinner. Olivia also had a big outing to the pottery studio to make her daddy his first father's day present - what is better than little feet!

We are looking forward to introducing Olivia to the beach this coming weekend - perhaps the salt air will trigger more developmental surprises!
