1 1/2 !!!

Olivia is now a 1 1/2 year old!

Before I know it, we will be celebrating her 2 year birthday!

What Olivia is up to these days:

She has been sick three times in the last three months!

I took her to an {ENT} and she had another sinus infection and had strep

She has been so onery the last little bit and that totally explained why. The Dr. thinks that she might have a allergy to all dairy products and that could be why she has had so many sinus infections. We have to stop giving her dairy for a month to see if she acts better and if she does then life will be better for her but....... What in the world am I going to feed her!! Everything contains milk product or Whey in it. Oh man this should be fun.

Besides being sick so much Olivia is growing so fast and in so many ways.

She is such a happy and loving little girl

She loves to watch Dora & Diego

{she runs and jumps and tries to dance at the start of the show, it is so funny and cute}

Doesn't like to sit in her highchair

Climbs on everything

will say "HI" to anyone especially at the store

Some of the words that she is saying:

I love these pictures, her personality is in everyone of them. All the cute faces that she pulls and I love the one with her posing with her shoulder up and hip cocked to the side.

I took these pictures a few weeks ago and it was freezing outside! She was such a great sport about it and of course it helped that she had a lollipop.

We hope everyone has a Happy Valentines Day filled with love!

Knee deep in Pain

Well last Monday TJ went under the knife and had his ACL, Meniscus and something else repaired. Finally after 7 hours of surgery and recovery we were headed home!! I felt so bad for him, he was in a lot of pain and had major nausea.

I wanted to get a picture when we first took of his bandages three days after surgery but in the process of taking them off TJ passed out on me! I wasn't sure what to do and luckily he woke up fairly quickly. These pictures are a week after his surgery and the knee looks a lot better than it did. After a week of bed rest and lots of uncomfortableness he is up and back at work. He still has a while to go with therapy but I think he is just glad not to be at home on the couch all day.

This is the back of his leg and I thought I would show you how bruised his leg is all the way around it. Don't mind the hairy legs! haha

I finally took Olivia out to play in the snow the other day and she didn't mind it at all. She wasn't sure what to do and had no idea how to play in it. So I put her on the sled and pulled her around the yard. There is a little hill in the backyard and she had a blast going down it! She loved being in the sled!

The other day she found this bandanna and handed it to me, so I put it on her head. She left it on for quite a while which is surprising bc she never keeps anything on her head. The next day she found it again and brought it to me to put it on her.
