2 year stats

Olivia turned 2 a few weeks ago,and she had her 2 year well-check a week ago. I'm just now getting to posting about it. (It's been a busy week.)

Anyway, those of you who have been around Olivia know she's a big girl. She's always been a big girl, even from day 1. Here's the proof of just how big she really is:

Weight: 33lbs (95%)
Height: 35 3/4" (95%)

But let's be honest. She's not really big, she's just big for her age. The Dr. said she's the size of a 2 1/2 + year old. And quite frankly, she's almost as big as Logan. (He's about 36lbs and maybe 38". I'm not sure though, haven't really taken the time to measure him.) My prediction for her adult height is about 5'8". I think she'll be taller than me for sure.

But enough about her height. This girl is all about the drama. She has to be heard. She sings songs almost 24/7 and more than half of them I'm pretty sure she makes up since I have no idea what she's singing. But it's fun to listen to her. Every time we go to a park, she runs to the swings while shouting "THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!" (from Tangled) Apparently, that would make pretty much every day the best day ever. She cracks me up.

I love that she gets along so well with Logan. They play very well together and always seem to be concerned about one another. For the most part she's a happy girl, she does have her tantrums, but who doesn't? She hates getting into trouble. So it's been pretty easy to discipline her if and when it's needed. She is my little angel.

Day at the Beach

Our second day at Cannon Beach was so beautiful that we spent it at the beach. Only makes sense, right? My kids are loving every minute of being here, and I'm loving every minute of watching them have so much fun.



Is this just not the cutest? I LOVE it!







I'm lovin' the beach. Maybe one day we'll live by one. I could spend every day here and be happy. Watching Sam play with the kids, and watching the kids have so much fun...yes, this is my heaven.

Our Fourth of July

The 4th was celebrated at Cannon Beach, OR. We are having a wonderful time here. The weather is being very cooperative, which we always appreciate. The morning of the 4th we went to the Cannon Beach parade. It was so much fun to watch the parade, and the kids really enjoyed getting the candy.



Later that night, we had our own little fireworks show for the kids. Mainly sparklers and a couple little fireworks. It was the first time we did anything like that for the kids and they both had a really great time, even though they were a bit hesitant at first. We even let Logan stay up late and watch the fireworks on TV. He really enjoyed that.

Happy Birthday Olivia!

My sweet little girl is 2!!! Can you believe it? I can't. She sure is a sweet little thing. She had her favorite dinner...pizza. And we had some family over for cake. Nothing big, but that's just perfect. Her favorite movie is "Tangled" so I got her a cake to match. She loved it!








We opened presents, which took longer than it should have. Olivia loves to show off and gets distracted easily. She got a lot of really good things, but she seemed to really like her "Tinkerbell" DVD. She's been asking for that movie for a long time. Another present she really liked was her bike. She couldn't even wait for it to be put together the right way before she got on it. I have a feeling she'll be wanting to go outside more often than she does now (if that's possible). Thank you Grandma H. She loves it!





She really had a great birthday! She sure is lucky to live nearby so many family members that love her.
