10/13/10 - Another Toddler Milestone :(

Today was a good day. I was pretty tired after being up so late, but I made it through. Work was good. Our work has this club you can join every year...the club puts on different events (craft sales, Halloween parties, etc.), and twice a year we have a luncheon. The food is great, and it's nice to get away from the office for a little while here and there. I ended up winning $15.00 at the luncheon, and since my my graciously paid for my lunch, I made out like a bandit! It's sad that I get so excited over $15.00!

After work, I picked up my ladies and made the long drive home. I hate rush hour. Christian was just finishing up mowing the lawn when I got home..I'm sure he's happy to have that out of the way. At least this time of year the grass doesn't grow quite as quickly! With all of the business of last weekend, I didn't make it to the grocery store, so we've been living off of leftovers and whatever we can scrounge up...tonight was no different.

After dinner and a little hanging out, Christian and Olivia headed out to the garage to turn Olivia's car seats forward facing. Yes...she is officially too tall to be rear facing any longer, and I'm very sad about it. I feel so much more comforted with her rear facing, but with her seat, it's no longer safe. The seat in his truck was a breeze to turn....but my car is a different story. Our seats come with a special latch system for added security, but my car doesn't have anything for it to latch onto. Christian ended up drilling a hole in my car (yes, he drilled a hole in my car...) and made his own latch. Whatever works I suppose. So, yes, my baby is even less of a baby now!

Finally, it was time for baths. Olivia went down; I fed the baby and she went down; then, it was my new nightly ritual...washing my pumping supplies, getting bottles ready for the next day and freezing the little extra milk I get. YES, I've actually been getting extra milk! So exciting (again, this is what I get excited about these days!). I really hate this chore though...

Here's a picture of her checking out her new view (she was not enjoying the flash...tired girl)!
