Olivia's First Play Date

Last week Olivia and I met up with her Aunt Jenni and cousin Aurora for a play date. What a trip! Olivia is almost 4 months old and Aurora is 9 months old so "play" is a relative term. Jenni and I took the girls to a park called "Frog Hollow". Jenni picked this park because there were swings with harnesses in them for babies. Aurora really had a good time, and I think Olivia enjoyed her first ride on a swing.

Better late than never!

I promised over a week ago that I would post pictures of Olivia from her weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Kovach's. Well I finally had an opportunity to scan the pictures into the computer (what can I say, my mom prefers her film camera...) and post them on the blog. We hope you enjoy these too.

Our First WEEKEND Away

On April 11 & 12, Chris and I spent our first weekend away from Olivia. We attended the 4th Degree Exemplification for the Knights of Columbus. This is a major event for the Knights, and it's fun getting all dressed up again. These are pictures of us and our friends at the dinner.

The important thing to remember with the Knights is "What happens with the Knights stays with the Knights!"

Meanwhile back at Grandma and Grandpa Kovach's...

Olivia stayed the weekend with my parents and apparently had a lot of fun. My mom taught her Polish songs and my dad was teaching her to call him "G-pa". I have to scan pictures of her at their house into the computer, so they will be posted soon.

Olivia's First Easter

Our Easter was pretty low key this year. Chris' dad was flying home, so we didn't get to see him at all. We spent Olivia's first Easter with my family. As you can see, Grandma, Grandpa, and Great-Grandma gave her some stuffed animals. Olivia wasn't too sure what she thought of them, but she came around.

Playing around...

Here is Olivia trying to have some play time. She is getting much better at holding her head up on her own and for longer periods of time! The surf board doesn't work so well for tummy time right now, so we've just started using the Boppy pillow for that. She seems much happier when we do that (thanks for the idea Michelle!)


















And now for our ultimate favorite picture...
