Olivia visits "The Greats"

April arrived and with that came the anticipation of Olivia's first plane trip and her first visit with the Atlanta "Greats" - that is, her Great Grandma & Great Grandpa Deerfield, her Great Aunt Nancy, and her Great Uncle Andy & Great Aunt Debbie. She also got to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Jon, who also made the trip down south. We were all greeted with wonderful weather (in the 80s the entire weekend!!) and wonderful southern hospitality : ) We had several great meals and lots of great visiting time at Andy & Debbie's, a nice stroll to the playground on Saturday and a lovely final brunch at Ruby Tuesdays before heading back north. It was so wonderful to see everyone and for Olivia to get to meet the rest of her doting family. Oh, and did I mention she got her wings?!

Laughing with Great Grandpa.

"Oh no, Mom saw me watching TV!"

"Swings are fun when it's warm out too!"

Pooped after a nice stroll in the Georgia sunshine.

Jon and Tony lamented the postponement of their trip to Tuckermans,
(due to Jon's new knee injury), much of the weekend.

Although an early incident involving a
scratchy beard and a bald head made for a rocky
reunion, Olivia and her Uncle Jon were best
buds by the end of the weekend.

Exit Jonathan - enter Tony : )

Water Baby

Since bath #1, Olivia has always seemed to feel at home in the water (I guess 10 months in a sack of fluid could do it!) - but she has really begun to enjoy bath time even more now that she can sit up and play with her new jungle squirt toys. The cats have even become interested in her water play and usually sit on the floor and watch her splash. Gutsy Mocha has even been known to sit in the tub next to Olivia's plastic tub - though she flees pretty quickly after the water starts to spray! Here are some pics of bath time fun:

I love my new big girl tub and jungle friends!

What!? I have to get out!?

Silly Daddy, giving me a soap horn again!

Just relaxing while my attendants lather me up.
