Random photos

So nothing much has been happening this month. Nate had swim lessons for two weeks, and he did pretty well. Well enough to move up to the next class, but the thought of two more weeks of having to be at swim lessons at 9am makes me sick, so we'll wait until next summer. But he's much more comfortable in the water now, so that's good. Other than that, I've just been extending my nesting, and been cleaning and organizing around the house, which has been greatly needed! So since nothing interesting has happened, here are just some random photos. This was not posed, I just glanced over one day, and there her tiny little foot was all that was sticking out of the cover.
Happy sleeping baby.

This was a few days after Graham did a nose dive on the driveway at my mom's house. But I just love that little face! (scabby nose and all!)
And here's Nate, smiling away. They usually love to cheese it up for the camera, just so they can see themselves afterwards.
Tiny shoes and socks. Olivia has a million pairs of shoes already, but she has such skinny little feet, that they are all way too big for her. I finally found these little black Mary Jane style shoes that are perfect for church.
This was the dress that I got specifically for her to wear to her first week of church. It's pretty big for being a 0-3 mos, so she'll be able to wear it for a while, which is good, since I love the dress. When it gets cold, I even have a little white sweater that she can wear with it.
So there you have it. It's been insanely hot this summer, and since I can't swim for another week, we've just been staying inside mostly. I think I heard that it's supposed to get out of the high 90s this next week though, so that'll be a relief, and we did have a thunderstorm this afternoon that lasted a while, always nice to get a little rain. Hopefully we can have a few fun little adventures in August, and it'll be a more interesting month than July has been!

More Glamour Shots

On Sunday I got the disc that had the results of Olivia's photo shoot that my friend Ashley took. This is one of my favorites: One where she is dressed and awake:


Tiny ear:

Tiny fist:
And is it weird that I want to print this picture and frame it and put it on the wall with the rest of the family photos? Ashley should go into animal photography. That day while we were taking a nursing break trying to get Olivia to go to sleep Lizzie thought that she would like to just take over the photo shoot.
So thanks Ashley, now I need to figure out which ones to print out and put where.

Round one

When Olivia was a week and a half old my friend Ashely came over to take some infant photos. She set up right there on my dining room table. It didn't go as smoothly as hoped since Olivia just would not fall into a deep sleep, so she kept on waking up and wiggling around, and not keeping a pose. These are the first photos that Ashely sent me last night. I can't wait to see the rest of them!
