This 14 Month Old Girl

 Olivia is nearly 14 months old, which means she's getting more hair to style :)

What a cutie!!

Here's the classic side barette:

Hmm, not exactly sure what game she's playing here...

 Or we've started doing the whale spout:

Today we did pigtails for the first time, which were a big hit at church!

Olivia loves helping Becky get ready for the day.  She'll hand her make-up or help brush her hair.

Sometimes she likes to help Nick work out.  Here she is doing some pre-exercise stretches!

Basically wherever we go in the apartment, Olivia will eventually come, too.  Sometimes you gotta put her to work!

But don't worry, we leave plenty of time for reading and playing, too.

             

Olivia LOVES giving hugs (and we love getting them from her!).  She's especially fond of hugging her Pooh Bear and Piglet.

During our latest Disneyland trip, we had our picture taken with Mickey Mouse.  When we walked up to him, Olivia started laughing and giggling-- she definitely knows who Mickey is!

After this picture was taken, Becky went to go use a Fastpass on Space Mountain.  But close to the end of the ride, the car came to a sudden stop...then all the lights came on!  Apparently something happened to the ride's system and it had to be reset.  It was really interesting to see all the track inside the normally pitch-black ride.  Knowing that Nick would be jealous, Becky snapped some pictures of what it looked like!  Here they are for you to enjoy as well:

 Cast members came around to all our cars to give us a push to make our way back to the station by gravity.  To make up for this "horrible inconvenience", they let us all stay on the ride and go on it again.  It was pretty awesome!

Summer in January

We are so lucky to have amazing weather where we live!  Today it was a high of 89 degrees here...yup, and it's the middle of January.  We had to take advantage of the summer-feeling weather and took a quick trip to the park today.  Here's a few snapshots of Olivia playing!

New Things in 2014

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

We are excited for 2014 and what it will bring us!  We had a fun New Years Eve party with some friends in our ward and actually stayed up til midnight to watch the ball drop (Olivia tried her hardest but only made it to 11:45pm.  Pretty good for a 1 year old though!) We have already experienced some new things this year.  Nick and Becky bid farewell to their old phones and upgraded to smartphones...yes, we have finally entered the 21st century!  We also got new numbers, which is going to take some getting used to!

Olivia is starting off the new year by getting some new teeth.  After these 3 finally make their way through she will have 14!  She also started a new trick which we are very excited about-- it's called walking :)
