This past month has been full of "firsts" for the Olive. Her 1st time brushing all those teeth...






Her 1st time on the lawn mower, which despite how the pictures may appear, she LOVED!




Her 1st time in the not-so-hot tub...



And her 1st luau...




We can hardly believe our little sweetie will soon be 9 months old!! Here are more pictures from the past month...

The "turtle" and the bunnies

One more set of Easter pictures...








And one more little thing we've been working on...little "Turtle" Tieman



More Turtle pics coming after our ultrasound on April 11th!

Easter 2008

Olivia's 1st Easter was quite an adventure. Good Friday was, in deed, GOOD. Olivia and I were able to spend some mommy-daughter time shopping on Friday as we waited for Shane, who had to work. During lunch Olivia decided to show me that she knows how to drink through a straw--I think her Papaw Tieman showed her a couple of times several months ago...and all of a sudden...voila! So, now her "thing" is drinking through a straw. HILARIOUS to see such a little one guzzling from a straw. I promise to make myself take a picture of this so you all can see and believe it!

Friday afternoon Olivia, YaYa, Shane and I made a fast break for Topsail...the first time we'd been there since Olivia was two weeks old. Saturday was warm, but really windy so the photo op I'd hoped for didn't quite work out. Nonetheless, we did take a few pictures...though not in the outfits I'd so carefully planned...just goes to show, you can't plan for everything!

We spent Saturday evening with Aunt Vicki and Uncle Preston...and the Easter Bunny visited! Sunday we went to church with my Grandmother at the church where my mom's family grew up. Luckily, the choir was performing their Easter Cantata...and Olivia sang THE ENTIRE TIME right along with them, much to the entertainment of everyone BUT her momma and daddy!
