Splish, splash Olivia

July 2, 2013

Sometimes we let Olivia splash... I took her out a few weeks ago when it rained and rained and rained to splash in the puddles and just get outside. Well she seems to now think that she can splash all the time, and in EVERY puddle. We came home last week and she hit the puddles right away even though she didn't have her rain boots on. It was pretty funny and cute to watch- but something to teach her not to do, in flip flops!

Fitness and friends... Two great things that start with f!!

Wednesday July 3, 2013

After I finished nursing I packed on the pounds which made my heart sad. I always dreamed of being one of these pregnant people who lost the weight right after baby, the weight came off when nursing, but then returned. I am trying to use my summer break to get back to the gym and start the slow process of losing weight... Wish me luck. I made it to the gym three times and did some swimming.

I think what makes hitting the gym easier is that Brandon is fully supportive. He wants me to use our gym membership and get in shape so I can run and play with Olivia... Which I can right now, don't get me wrong it's not that much weight on, but you know what I mean. I love coming home and seeing what they have been up to while I am gone... This past week I came home to find them watching sleeping beauty.... How sweet is that!!

On Wednesday I had the chance to go to a baby shower for a friend of mine from elementary school, Meghan. She currently lives in the states but was home for a visit with her sweet husband Tyson. Her mother lives in a really cute neighbourhood in Bedford, and had a really lovely baby shower. Delicious snacks, fun games and great company. I always love a girls night out, we all drove to the shower together so it was nice to have some catch up time. I am blessed and I know I always say this, but I am blessed to have these ladies in my life- such wonderful friends!!

{this pic is the prime example if why weight needs to be lost}

Meghan is about 17-18 weeks along in this picture. The following day they found out that she is indeed  having a baby GIRL!!! We couldn't be more thrilled for Olivia to finally have a little girl friendcoming along, she is out numbered by the boys right now! 

I can't believe it has been a YEAR!

I have become one of those bloggers I never wanted to be, one that gets lazy and never updates and then their blog sinks lower and lower on the update list until its been YEARS! I have officially not touched my blog in a year and that makes me sad. I wanted to record more Olivia memories when she  was born, I had all these great intentions and they didn't happen. Baby came and life got busy and momma got tired when she went back to work and the blog became a non priority.

I love my sister Laura's blog- sometimes her posts are long sometimes they are short but what I love is that she updates. So today on this the anniversary of my last blog post I have decided to try to blog again. I am not putting an expectation on myself, just a hope to blog when I can. I recently got an iPad and with this great blogger app, I am hoping it will help.

My blog name I think might change to Insta-Bing... I love including pictures and so many of the will probably come from my iPad and from what I post on Instagram because they are usually a better representation of what we have been up to. So here is to a new blogging year. WISH ME LUCK!

Today was our country's birthday... Happy Canada Day! The weather was icky and we had to keep close to home with this new apartment job we are doing (more on that another time) so we didn't do anything too festive which makes me a bit sad. We did sport our Canada tee's today! Next year I hope to take Olivia out on the town- she will understand a bit more next year and will appreciate the festivities! 

The weather did finally clear up so we headed out to enjoy the day and our beautiful country. We went for a bike ride, playground visit and to get a donut!! Olivia has a blast on the swings and playing with another little girl who was there today!

Olivia is 18 months now and is a hoot. She makes the funniest faces and dances like crazy. She is starting to say a few more words and likes to climb on EVERYTHING! She give amazing hugs and kisses and enjoys honking noses. She LOVES bubble guppies, the wiggles and Disney princesses... She loves to line up all her princess friends, and give them hugs. Right now she is moving pillows all around the living room, she is tired and ready for bed, but I just had to get things going again with my blog!

Welcome Jackson & Lucas Blades...

I think becoming a parent changes you life so much for the good, that you can't imagine what you life was like before this little person entered your world and your heart. Since Olivia has joined our family, I just want everyone to experience that joy, and today I was able to go down and see two of my dear friends experiencing that exact joy, times two!!

Matt and Nicole welcomed their sweet little boys this past Saturday June 30th, 2012, on their great grandfather's birthday. The boys were born a few weeks early, they were 34 weeks along, but are both doing so great. I learned today (and hopefully I get it all right) that Lucas Ryan was born first weighing in at 4 lbs 8 oz. and Jackson Adam was of course second and weighed 4 lbs. 7 oz. Both mommy and daddy are doing so great and are so in love with their boys. For only being parents for a day and a half, they both seem like naturals already. I love seeing my friends become parents, it's an amazing experience, and I feel so grateful that I was able to go an meet their precious little bundles. When I arrived the boys had recently been moved out of their incubators so I was able to hold them both which was such an honour. They should be in the hospital for a little while so I'm looking forward to going and getting a few more snuggles and pictures while they are there.

Congratulations Nicole, Matt, Jackson and Lucas! We love you all so much!

Olivia at Five Months

Happy Five Month Birthday Olivia!

You have been getting so busy lately that mommy hasn't even had time to do you five month update, such a bad mommy. It's the night before your six month birthday and I'm sitting here thinking back to month five. As always it was a wonderful month because you are part of our family. You are changing and growing every day, and you continue to keep us laughing. You have such a great little personality, you are an overly happy baby, who is alert and loves just watching the world around you.

-You continue to be a drool machine, some days are better then others. Some days there is no drool at all and other days you can't stop yourself. You love chewing on anything you can get your hands on, this month the focus in your life has been on other peoples hands. If you can get your mouth on it you will suck and chomp away, coating anyones hand in a nice layer of drool. Good thing your so gosh darn cute otherwise you might not get away with it.

 - Your sleep habits have continued to stay the same, you sleep a little less at night maybe 9-10 hours a night instead of the 10-12, but we cannot complain. You are napping still quite frequently, you eat and then stay awake for about an hour or so and then you are ready to be swaddled and put to sleep. You poor little sweetie can't even hide your tiredness, you give it away and fall asleep pretty quickly. During the day you nap for about 30-90 minutes, I would love for you to go a little longer, but i know it will come.

-Spitting up still happens quite randomly. We've been having some great days with nothing and then some horrible days where I should even bother to dress in real clothes. I'm hoping when you start food at 6 months that it will help settle your tummy better, to reduce spitting up and then we also hope having a full belly will help you nap longer in the day.

 -You are becoming more mobile, and we love watching you roll over still. It doesn't happen often because you still hate being on your tummy.

-You continue to have an addiction to gripe water, but it really does help you get the gas pains out, and sometimes it seems as if you can't get it fast enough. You grab it with two hands and pull it towards your mouth. It's pretty funny to watch, we don't know what we would do without it.

-You are much more vocal and love to squeal and laugh. We've "heard" a few "words" from you such as mum,mum,mum and yeah. The mum I'm not buying as meaning me. You always seem to make that sound when your getting upset, so I don't want to be associated with that. I think it will count when you look at me and say mom. You also seemed to say the word yeah when we were on the plane to Ontario, Nannie Bing and I were asking you silly little questions and that was your response- we were laughing so much when it happened because it was just too cute coming from your little mouth.

-Clothing still continues to be fun for mommy, I don't know if it will ever stop being so fun. You still are wearing some 3 months onesies from Carter's, where your so long and lean they fit you so nicely. The majority of your cloths are 3-6 months but we are slowly bringing out a few slightly bigger 6 months items. Pants is your tough spot... 3 months pants fit better in the waist but 3-6 month pants fit better in the length, what are we going to do with you.

 Some of the things that you did this month are :

-You had your first real fever. It was the day after you had your four month needles. You were not your normal happy self. You just wanted to be cuddled and sleep poor baby. It worried mommy but I checked with all my other experienced mom friends and our own nurse, auntie Chelsey to make sure I was doing all I could. We took the day and just laid in bed watching shows and cuddling. Sometimes that is all a girl needs when she isn't feeling well, cuddles with her mommy. I didn't mind at all. Luckily your fever went down about mid afternoon, early evening. That was a relief for mommy for sure!

-We have been using and LOVING your BOB stroller, this past month which means we have been getting out to do some walking which we both love. The weather shield has come in handy, we are super glad we invested in that piece for the stroller.

- You are continuing to strengthen your neck, and have had some good tummy time sessions this month. It helps for sure when mommy puts something interesting in front of you to keep your attention.

-You helped mommy in the kitchen for the first time this month. You sat on the counter while mommy cooked in your bumbo. I look forward to many more days getting your help in the kitchen. It was a fun mommy daughter moment!

-This month was amazing because YOU ROLLED OVER on your own. It was so exciting to see you do it again and again. I made a video and sent it to whom ever I thought would appreciate this big milestone. I think you started rolling in an attempt to get closer to daddy and I, you were in the other room and didn't like being left alone so you rolled to get closer to us, smart girlie! When we have since wanted to show it off to family, you haven't been as eager to perform.

 - We had a fun sleepover at Nanny Jackie's house this month. Daddy was doing some painting so we ended up staying at Nanny and Poppy's house for two nights. You had a lot of fun wiggling on Nanny's floor and cuddling in bed with momma and cousin Georgia. I think Nanny enjoyed having you there to cuddle at night. You experienced the pack and play for the first time this month and I don't know if you were overly thrilled to wake up in it. You did pretty well though making it through most of the night. I think I was more worried then you were. I hated having you close but far enough away that it's hard to see you.

- You experienced the fabric store for one of the first times I think, you were pretty mellow there, you had cousin Georgia there to entertain you. We bought some fabric to make you a skirt and a dress. Nanny worked on the skirt and it's adorable and filled with ruffles. She has since made you two more skirts with ruffles!!

-We teased you with food this month, well nanny did. We were having ice cream while we were at her house and you wanted it BAD! You were so focused in on that ice cream it was too adorable. We sent that too a few friends who said it was mean of us, hahha!! Not time for food yet!

- We had a proud teacher moment this month, while daddy was painting, mommy took you to the LIBRARY for the first time EVER! It was so exciting, we went and looked around a books and you even got your own library books. The very first book you got was called Ollie, I like to think it is pronounced like your nickname. Mommy of course took pictures all along the way.

-We celebrated auntie Laura's birthday from far away this year, but we made sure we sent her a picture of you for every year she was born. She enjoyed how creative we got.

-You made the funniest faces this month, mommy would blow on your face and you would make this shocked face, laugh and smile. Daddy and I had some good laughs with those pictures!!

-Nannie and Grandpa Bing watched you this month while mommy and daddy were out. They love every opportunity to come over and watch you. The night they watched you they took you out for a nice evening walk. When I got home you were snuggled in with Nannie nice and cozy!

-It's amazing how much you look like daddy. You were both sleeping side by side this week and mommy was shocked with how you are little twins. You have the same colouring and the same ears. It was a picture mommy just had to take... it was super precious!

-This month you celebrated mommy's birthday with her. It was exciting to wake up to you and cousin Sarah who slept over for my birthday. We spent a lovely Sunday together, and had a delicious dinner at Nanny and Poppy's house. It was exigent to see your face when they brought out my cake and you helped me blow out my candles. I was sad that I deleted those pictures by mistake :( It is a memory I wish I could get back so much, your little face was priceless.

- You had your first little bit of cradle cap, nothing too horrible. We oiled up your head a bit and made you look like a total grease ball. It helped a bit, you were not too keen on the oiling process.

-You were also a bit of a meanie this month. We were at Nannie and Grandpa Bing's and Grandpa was holding you, and cousin Alexis wanted to be sitting with him. So she came and sat with him too, we don't know what happened, but she started to cry. So auntie Meaghan took her, and you were watching closely and started to laugh at her. What a meanie... you couldn't stop! We tried to explain to you that it wasn't very kind to laugh at others.

-You decided this month as well that when I didn't have you facing your aquarium while we packed for Ontario that you would just wiggle yourself around so that you would have a better view of the show. It was pretty funny to see you one way and then the complete opposite was just to see your fishes.

-You had your FIRST airplane ride at 5 months old. We travelled with Nannie and Grandpa Bing, Auntie Sarah and Uncle Jaccob all the way to Ontario for great grandpa Steve's burial. Sadly daddy wasn't able to come but he wanted us to go to represent the family. You were AMAZING on the plane both there and back. You nursed on the take off, slept and played with everyone and then went back to sleep for landing, mommy was so proud of you. It was extra special because since Grandpa Bing is a pilot he carried you on to your first flight ever which I think was extra special.

-In Ontario you saw many sites like the Parliament building and the farmers market in Ottawa. You went to the Hard Rock Cafe for the first time and saw the store were grandpa brought nannie's engagement ring. You also got to meet many special family members from great grandma Sandie to great uncles and aunts and even great great aunts and uncles. There were lots of cousins and second cousins, it was amazing to see you with them all. You were such a great baby the entire time, being passed around you didn't complain and your spit up was barely there. Momma made sure to capture lots of pictures.

-One of the special people you met was daddy's cousin Cole. Cole hadn't been around too many babies, their loud noises are something he sometimes doesn't love. We spent a lot of time at his house this weekend, and you are not a loud baby so it was a perfect friendship. He started off just standing closer to you and then he would come and say hi to you. Eventually he would come and touch your little hand. On the day of the burial he would come over to the car and make little faces at you trying to make you laugh, it was so special to see. When it was time to go he even gave you a little kiss goodbye. It made mommy so happy.

-You had your first stay in a motel which was interesting. You were a real chatter box on our first morning there and auntie Sarah and uncle jaccob could hear you chatting away. In the motel you experienced your first sink bath which was so funny, I put you in the sink and it was like a little hot tub for you, you kicked back and relaxed. We sent that out to family right away!! ha ha!!

-We celebrated our first MOTHER'S DAY together which was so special for mommy. We woke up in the motel room together and we just got to cuddle together. Uncle Andy, Cole and Liam gave mommy a special little gift bag. We had a dinner at Nanny's when we got home and then you and daddy gave me the most special card, with a super thoughtful message. I feel so thankful and grateful that I get to be your mommy, I am so blessed to have you in my life. Your such a sweet daughter and I look forward to always having you as one of my best friends.

- You started this month to do the funniest thing, when I would put you on your belly if you couldn't figure out how to move your arm to roll over you would just lay down and give up which is so cute. You would lay there for a few minutes before eventually getting mad about it and try again. You always looked so peaceful as you layer there looking at me.

-We started walking this month with our neighbours Karlie & Jax and JeNae & Brecklyn. We walk on the trail near our house and it's great exercise. You love your time in the stroller and I love the walking and the conversation.

-We visited another school that mommy teaches at, you were so good and the kids were all so excited to see you. There were a few of the grade ones I taught that just wanted to hold you, she even snuck a few kisses too, oh my!

It's been another busy but great month with you. There is so much more we could write about doing, but we will put that in your little journal. Olivia you continue to be the brightest spot in our life, you make every good day that much greater. You always can put a smile on our face and make us laugh. We continue to love watching you grow, even when it makes us a little sad that you are becoming such a big girl. We are looking forward to seeing you reach all your milestones, the next big one comes at 6 months when you start eating food, we don't know if we are ready for that but we have some time. We love you so much Olivia, you are the biggest blessing in our life.

Love, Mommy & Daddy

Olivia at Four Months

We've had another few busy weeks, and momma has been a slacker but I needed to post before month five comes along and that is soon...

Happy Four Month Birthday Olivia!

 Miss Olivia, I think we have said this every month since you have been born, but we cannot believe just how big you have gotten again this month. You are changing so much, and as exciting as it is, it also makes us a little sad because our little girl is growing up. We try to snuggle you a little longer because we know soon enough you will be wiggling and moving even more then you are now. Momma hopes that if she snuggles you enough now, that you will always love it and always want to snuggle, a girl can hope right!

You bring so much joy to our family. No matter how stressful life may get some times, you always take that away and put a smile on our faces. You crack us up so much with the little faces you make and the great laugh that you have, it is a laugh that comes deep down in your little belly and just erupts out of you in this sweet little giggle. Daddy is really good at making you laugh, I think he enjoys it even more then you do. Olivia you have been the most perfect addition to our family. We tell our friends often about how lucky we are to have you as our own.

 At four months you continue to be curious about the world around you. You still like to be close to you momma, but enjoy your wiggle time on the floor to kick and stretch your long legs. Here are some more of the excitement that month four has brought...

-Olivia you continue to be a droolie baby. At times we will put bibs on you, but we are starting to back off on those because when you do wear them you soak right through the bib. You also like to chew on whatever you can get in your mouth, your fingers are the number one thing you get in there but you also will try to chew on your blanket. We have checked you for teeth but nothing yet! When momma was taking your four month pictures she had to print the sticker off twice because your drool ruined it the first time.

-You still tend to eat about every two to three hours, although you can go longer. At night time you can wait 10-12 hours without eating, but when you go eat in the morning you can't get enough! Spitting up continues to be your struggle. It continues to be a random thing, but we do worry that you might not be getting enough food, but you still are a happy baby, so that has to mean something right? We always tell people if you spit up on them that it is a sign of love.

-We worry when we tell people that you continue to sleep through the night, that we are jinxing ourselves. We know that we are very lucky to have such a good baby that sleeps anywhere from 10-12 hours a night. I think your Heavenly Father knew when you joined our family, that daddy works over night sometimes, and that mommy would be the main person getting up with you, so he gave us a super good baby, so that mommy would survive. She says a BIG thank you every time you make it thought the night. There have been a few mornings when you have woken up early, but as long as mommy brings you in with her and daddy you go back to sleep for a little longer. It's pretty nice!

 - You continue to amaze us with your strength, you love to be able to sit up tall to see the world around you. You still don't always love tummy time but you are slowly getting better at staying on your tummy longer.

-You love to babble and talk. You always look so serious when you are talking to mommy and daddy. We really wish we knew what you were saying because with the way you baby talk it sure does sound like you have some fantastic dreams.

-Speaking of dreams Olivia, sometimes when you sleep you make these little faces where you furrow your brow and make these little whimpering sounds like your having bad dreams, it just breaks our hearts. Luckily they don't tend to last too long.

-You continue to wear a mix of 0-3 month clothes and mostly 3-6. You are a long baby but a skinny one, so we keep you in the smaller size pants because they fit best, but soon enough they are going to be too short for your long legs!

 -You have the greatest smile, and mommy has captured many of your best smiles so far this month. Your smile takes over your entire face and your little eyes just light up every time you smile. It makes us want to keep you smiling your entire life, although that doesn't always happen. You know how to work the water works, and cry LOUD. We are a sucker for your big alligator tears.

- You used your bumbo chair this month for the very first time, you didn't know what to think of your new view of the world. Momma had to put some blankets around you to keep up right because otherwise you would try to lean over and chew on the chair- silly kid!!

-Your hair has been staying pretty constantly dispersed around your perfect little head, you only have a slight bald spot in the back of your head from your car seat but it's not even that bad.

- Movement is still your friend, when you are cranky or have gas you still love being bounced around. We are thankful that you still like your swing too, it helps free out hands when we have a few things we need to finish. You also this month loved to wiggle away from your play mat. Mommy had you laying one direction and with time you wiggled yourself 180 degrees and almost completely off your mat! You are going to keep us on our toes for sure!

 - This month you found out that you are getting two new friends this summer. Mommy's friend Nicole found out that she is having TWIN BOYS. In mommy's group of school friends you will continue to be the only little girl, with all sorts of boyfriends, lucky lady!

-Speaking of friends,we continue to send text messages, videos and pictures with our friend Sawyer and her mommy Jennifer. You and Sawyer are 23 days apart in age, so it's fun to see the similar and different things you are doing each month!

-You celebrated many birthdays this month, we celebrated with cousin Jacob & cousin Cooper, you cannot wait until you are big enough to eat with all the big kiddies.

-This month we had our first sleep over with Miss Georgia, she was so helpful with you and she just loves you so very much. You had your first trip in to a MacDonalds when cousin Georgia was here, now that's always a memory one wants to remember!

 - you continue to sleep in the most unique ways, you love being swaddled, but  when you get your hands on face you sleep in funny and cute ways. Such as hands planted on your face or hands resting on your cheek it's the sweetest!

- Olivia at four months you were still working on mastering getting things to you mouth and then in them. You have a green teething ring, mommy likes to call your chewy, and you try so hard to get it to your little mouth and have it stay there, but you're not quite there yet.

-You went out for your first longer walk this month with mommy, nanny, and your Nelson cousins. Mommy carried you in the baby carrier and we walked all around the duck pond, which sounds small but it's a good little walk. It was a beautiful day and we took a lot of fun pictures.

-That same day you went down the slide for the very first time with cousin Sarah and you also went in the baby swing for the very first time which you were not too thrilled about. This happened at the dingle playground and it was pretty cold!

 -Four months brought another holiday your way, and this holiday was EASTER! You celebrated in style with a beautiful easter dress that Nannie Bing made you and a sweet casual outfit that Nanny Jackie bought you that said "Somebunny loves me" and isn't that the truth. The easter bunny visited and brought you a very fun basket of goodies and a few little treats for mommy and daddy.

-You had two easter dinners, one at Nanny and Poppy's place with five of your cousins and then one at Nannie and Grandpa's place with all your aunties, uncles, and cousin Alexis. Nannie and Grandpa spoiled you and Alexis this year with a giant bouncy castle, set up in the basement. Although you are still too little for it, we took you in for a quick bounce. I don't think you knew what to think.

-Daddy sent mommy a text message in month four that melted her heart, it said, "i was thinking about olivia today. i love her so much"- you have one VERY good daddy who works so hard for you.

-Olivia in month four you also brought the back arch into our family, when you don't want to lay on mommy's lap or on the floor you work really hard to arch your back and wiggle away, it sure is something to watch. We always call you a little stinker when you do that!

 -Daddy also discovered this month that because you are a baby that likes movement, that carrying you in the baby carrier is a lot of fun. Some days he will get home from work and just pop you in the carrier and walk or dance around the apartment with you. It's very sweet!

-You continue to LOVE the bath time, and enjoy splashing the table until the drips start to over flow.

-You rolled over again this month. You've done it maybe 3-4 times before this, but today was cool because we totally we not expecting it. Cousin Jessica was sleeping over and we had gone to your room to change you and while you were laying there in your diaper you rolled from your back to your tummy. Jessica and I were shocked and amazed! We tried to get you to do it again, but no such luck!

- You had a father daughter bonding moment this month, daddy was watching his favourite teach the Toronto Blue Jays play baseball on TV, so we got out your baseball hat and bib that are all blue jay inspired and you rocked it for the game- I think daddy was pretty proud.

- You had your first visit to the emergency room this month. Mommy didn't really think you needed to go, you seemed fine, but the nurse that she talked to on 811 said you should go. You had spit up this bright green mucus, and it made mommy nervous, but you seemed fine before and after. So nanny and I took you down since daddy was at work. We waited about 45 minutes, but the nurse that checked you said that you were fine and she consulted a doctor too. We were glad that we didn't have to wait longer. You were a happy camper the entire time!

-The same day you went to the emergency room for the first time was also the time you finally got your new stroller. and it is a little piece of heaven! It's so easy to push and a smooth ride... this stroller is going to be so great for getting us outside more!

-You met your new puppy cousin RUBY, this month, she was the first puppy you met and I think you two will be little buddies!

-Your first time bowling happened this month, we went for nanny Bing's birthday with the whole family and it was a lot of fun! You even came up and bowled a string with mommy and we did pretty good together. You did spit up there, no surprise as that is still a little challenge for you, Grandpa Bing was holding you up and smiling and laughing at you and then as soon as he started to lower you, bam, you nailed the floor with spit up!

-Olivia you got a very special outfit this month from Auntie Brittany. She went to India to visit her friend Andrew and she brought you and cousin Alexia beautiful Indian outfits. Your was a burgundy, white and gold combination and it looked so super cute on you. We will treasure it always.

-We love having you meet extended family members...this month you met your great, great aunts. They are your great grandma Logan's sisters and it was really neat for you to meet them all. It was the first time mommy had met them to, they were all very sweet and LOVED you. You spit up on each and every one of them, but we explained that's a sign of love. They told mommy if she couldn't find you then it meant you were in their suitcase on the way back to NFLD.

Miss Olivia Mary, each and every month is filled with so many exciting moments and these were just a few that your momma can remember. I wish I could video tape every single moment of your life because you are growing too fast, and we always want to remember these early days with you. Your little tiny feet and hands that are always kicking and grabbing and holding our fingers. Your big bright blue eyes and your sweet gummy smile. We want to always remember the way your breath smells so sweet like milk, and the way you sometimes furrow your brow in your sleep when you have little pains or bad dreams. We want to remember they way you laugh and the way you talk and coo. We want to remember  everything about you, you are a gift from our Heavenly Father and it's the best gift that we will ever get. We feel honoured to be your parents and promise that we will continue to do our very best to teach and raise you. We love you with all our hearts, you are the very best thing that has ever happened to our little family!

Love Mommy & Daddy
