5/3/10 - It's Monday, 'Nuf Said

Here we are...it's Monday again! The weekend was so packed, as they usually are, so of course Monday came roaring in like the Lion it is. Yesterday was a semi-relaxed day...I spent the day picking up the house (and of course, re-picking it up as Olivia destroyed the house over and over again...) and doing laundry. Christian's dad finished fixing the riding mower (much to his excitement), so he went to pick that up. He decided it's best to keep it in the garage to avoid anymore weather and animal interference, so he spent most of the day cleaning up the garage making room for it. It's sad when you need a vacation from your weekend!

Today was just a Monday like any other. Olivia has started showing a lot of interest in feeding herself lately. We've been letting her work with the fork (spoon = too much of a mess for my liking), and she's really getting the hang of it. Of course this means she is starting to refuse letting anybody else feed her, meal time is becoming much more messy and she's spending a lot more time in her highchair since the process is taking much longer, but, when she shows interest, we encourage her. So, here are some pics from her adventures in learning to use the fork :)
