January Updates

Is January almost over already?!  Time sure has flown this month.  After having a nice, long month off, Nick is now back in school.  He'll be pretty busy writing a lot this next semester, but that's great because that's what he loves doing.  Becky stays home and takes care of baby Olivia, which is tiring but totally worth it.

Olivia has developed some new hobbies recently.  First, she loves looking out of the window in the family room.  If she is being a little fussy, a simple stroll over to the window so she can peer out will calm her right down.  Granted, the view from our window is pretty lame...but she enjoys it nonetheless.  She has always liked looking at lights, but she especially loves the sunshine-- she truly is a California girl!

Also, Olivia made a ground-breaking discovery a few days ago: she has legs!  Since then, she likes to "stand" pretty much whenever possible.

Olivia has found that being vertical has its perks.  For starters, it is much easier to look around and observe than when you are being held laying down.  It also allows you to fall asleep with your head on one of your parents' shoulder so that your chubby baby cheeks get squished in the most adorable way...well, that one may be more of a perk for us :)
