Great Visit

I am beyond thankful to Mike's supervisor for giving him two days off in a row. According to him, when his trainer found out that he was coming to Spokane for his day off, she went and talked to the supervisor. They switched his schedule for the next week and told him that he has Saturday off as well :-) That means that he did not leave until almost 2pm today. So so thankful for the extra time!

Mike and I were able to go on a date Friday night to the movies and this morning we had breakfast with one of Mike's friends who was up from Cali visiting his family. Here are some pictures of the time that we had together.

We had a GREAT time at the park!

After Mike left, Olivia and I spent time just hanging out at home. We were going to go to the park but it started raining :/ She was walking all over the place! I really think that the time she spent on the pontoon boat really helped her to find her center for balance. Here is a short little clip of her walking. It does not even compare to the steps she was taking when I had the camera off.

Lately, I have also been working on mixing up the food that she eats so that it is not the same thing every day. I have also been introducing more and more solids. Yay! Here are some of the new things she is trying:

Toast!

Pasta and green beans!

CHICKEN NUGGETS!

AAAANNNNDDD, whatever she does not like ends up on the floor..... like tomatoes, zucchini, squash... When I make pureed food, I usually add in zucchini and squash and recently started adding green beans, but she does not like them whole. Hmmm, interesting. I will keep offering and hopefully she will eat them one day. The other day I was talking to a coworker about getting a mat for under her chair. If I cannot get the food cleaned up right away, I basically need a paint scraper to get it off the tile. UGH. She suggested one from an office supply store. i will definitely look into it. 

Here are some other photos from bath time <3

She found the Crunchies that mom bought!

I LOVE THIS PHOTO AND OUTFIT!!

Olivia loves Troy and Troy loves boxes. HAHAHA!

Like father, like daughter. Talk about two peas in a pod!

Alright, so this next photo is of one of the outlet plugs that we use to keep Olivia out of the outlets. Yes, it started to melt, I do not think that that is supposed to happen. It kind of worries me. I was trying to take it out as I needed to plug in two things next to me. I had a really hard time trying to get it out. Once I got one side out, the other side seemed to be stuck. I twisted and pulled on it and when it finally came out it looked melted. Did I cause the melting? I don't know but I am going to do some research on the types of plugs and figure out what is going on.

Here are a couple more videos from this week :-)

I am not sure that she understands the bubble machine yet. HAHA!
