Leelou Swag Favorite Things Give Away

Well in preparation for Christmas here is a list of a few of MY favorite things!


1. Bumbo Baby Seat- Pretty much the most amazing invention since sliced bread!!! Olivia can sit up and help me cook, watch me fold laundry... just hang out... it is great!

2.Munchkins Jelly Bean Sling carrier- Takes "Attachment Parenting" to a whole new level! It is wonderful to be able to take care your baby AND fold the clothes, do the dishes, clean the house, vacuum the carpet... the list goes on! It is wonderful because it is maneuverable ... carries in the front, side or back.

3.Editor Pant from Express- AH-mazing! This pant fits just about anyone like a glove! Glorious!

4. The new Blastoff Network - So awesome to be able to fully customize your own homepage...everything from what games you want to play, your background, the news you want to hear about and ... what stores you want to shop at! I already have a 20 dollar check in the mail for all the cash back rewards just for last month! WOO HOO!

5.Mekenna Jewelry Armoire by Pottery Barn- Organization is kind of a minor obsession of mine... this jewelry box has tons of storage and organization perfect for the little things that glitter!



6. Nikon D3000 - "Incredibly easy, incredibly fast"... I would love to have this camera to catch all of those fun moments in life! :)




So what are some of the things that are on your Favorite Things list?!

Full of Firsts...

Shots & Whole Foods...

Well lately we have been making some progress... Olivia just had her 2 month check up that had been pushed back about a month and a half. We were out of town when she turned 2 months and when we got back into town I made her appointment then found out the next day that our insurance didn't process right and she wasn't fully covered... so we had to wait.

With Livie up to date on her shots it was time to conquer solid foods. She just didn't seem content with her bottle so I ran to the store and bought a small can of Single Grain Rice Cereal with DHA ... mixed it with formula and then came the mess... oh and it was a mess!!!

She didnt even know what was coming... but look how cute she is! Her out fit is from Grandma Louderback and her blanket is from Grandma Trish...

She was pretty upset after her shots and with a hello kitty bandaid on one leg and a barbie one on the other. She took it like a champ!

Very soon after her shots she fell asleep in her swing while holding her bottle... with assistance that is.

Daddy was very eager to feed Olivia! He had just come home from work and offered to be the first one to feed her! :) We put her in her bumbo she was good to go!

She was much more accepting of the cereal when it was on her fingers instead of the spoon!

Mmm Mmm Mmmmm....

I think she got her eating habits from her mother... haha

Yes... she even got cereal on her tiny little feet... she went strait to her bath after all of this was done.

HI GRANDPA! HI GRANDMA!
Wanna hug?!

Chili Cookoff & Trunk or Treat 09!!!!

Chili Cook Off & Trunk or Treat 2009!!!

The turn out this year was GREAT!!! After lots of preparation, coordinating and setup we were able to pull off a pretty darn successful event! Our Chili Cook Off and Trunk or Treat is the biggest event of the year and without fail will have a good handful of non member and less active families attend... which is always a good thing! Here are some pictures of our little shindig!

This is majority of the people that attended ... nearly every seat was filled! Notice the oober awesome spider web that Ryan worked super hard on!!! Im so proud of him!

The plethora of people...

My little Ballerina in our Kiddy Costume Parade

Hey look the whole gang is here!!! Scooby Do!!!

Velma & Fred! Ry's outfit was way more obvious than mine was!

3 Months!!!

Olivia Mae... 3mo old!

Well... today is the day... Olivia 3 months old... Crazy to think she is 3months old already! In these last three months she has developed a very sweet personality! She laughs, smiles and coos every chance she gets. Olivia has such a beautiful spirit and melts the hearts of all those that surround her. I know I might sound biased... but she really is one of the cutest babies I have ever seen and I feel so fortunate that she is mine!

I haven't been very consistent with my blogging lately... we have been very busy here at the Wolsey household. So with me being behind on my blogging I have also been behind on posting pictures of Olivia... so here are some pictures and a video. By the way... the video is set at an angle... so mom... dad... you are just going to have to turn you heads to the side until I take another video hahah... sorry. But hey look at it this way... at least you guys get to finally see her in action!

Little Sleeping Beauty... She sleeps through the night with a very rare 3am wake up call for mommy!

This is one of daddy's FAVORITE outfits and Livie looks adorable in it ... really makes her blue eyes really stand out!

Little Olivia Mae at 3months old.

Like I said... just turn your head to the side and I promise next video will be right.

Baby It's Cold Outside...

Well... the leaves have started to change into beautiful shades of gold, orange and crimson. There is something magical about watching the leaves change and fall... it is something that is taken for granted a little out here on the east coast and not plentiful enough in the west.

As I have watched the leaves change I have been itching to get things done. A few of the things I need to "change" are:

• being more consistent about cleaning the house, not that it is a disaster or anything but I always seem to wait till it all needs to be done instead of doing bits and pieces here and there.
• getting my work out on... I have surpassed my recovery phase and need to get the ball rolling and get my body back! I just dont have as much energy as I should and getting back into shape will definitely help aid in that!
• being better about updating my blog!!! Yikes... so I am past the point where I can blame sleep deprivation and recovery from keeping me from my blog... no excuses.
  

Some of the things I was able to get done lately are

• changing out Olivia's closet... yep... she is in transition already. She sure has been growing and is creeping closer and closer into those 3 mo. old sizes with a couple more weeks to spare! Ok... so she is pretty much on time with the sizes but... it doesnt feel like it has been almost 3 mo.
  
• changing my hairstyle!!! Yikes that took a leap of faith for sure! I was so nervous to get it cut but at the same time I had talked about doing it for way to long and just needed to get it done already!

Well you can obviously see that I havent been ... changing ... things as much as I should/want to be. Hence the whole... I need to get stuff done attitude.

Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me?!

RockBand!!!

So... we recently indulged our inner rocker and purchased RockBand... what an investment! Let me just say... Ryan is quite the drummer and I am not half bad on the bass. lol. Pictures will follow!
