Reach out and touch something...

Well Olivia has finally figured out what her hands are for, and no, we don't mean to JUST put in her mouth, she figured that part out a few weeks ago, now she actually reaches for toys and holds onto them, we have proof, see below. She also loves to grab onto her pacifier, pull it out of her mouth and throw it on the ground...we can already tell that trick is going to get old, next thing we know she is going to be doing that and saying "Uh Oh" at the same time.

And as you can tell by the photo above her head is getting much stronger. We had a great weekend here in Richmond, Friday night Leigh and Brad proved to themselves that eventhough they are now parents they are still fun. They hung out with neighbors and enjoyed a few cocktails until all hours of the morning, they had a great time, Olivia was asleep in Justin and Insley's room and didn't even wake up when we picked her up to transport her home to her crib. We also got our new car, a Yukon XL, Leigh is now studying for her CDL so that she can learn to park the "bus". We love it. The whole family spent Sunday at the Poor Farm Mountain Bike Race, it was a gorgeous day and we all enjoyed spending it outside, Brad especially enjoyed meeting a few pro's, I believe he may have even got an autograph or two...

And we should mention, Olivia is now sleeping in her crib, we would love to say that its going well, and the truth is, she does really like her crib, and does well going to sleep and taking naps, but she has forgotten how to sleep through the night, last night she was up at 12, 2:30 and 6, not fun. A few days a week she will have really rough nights and when they are back to back we wonder if we will ever get a "good" night of sleep again...

Leigh and Olivia are leaving for Massachusetts tomorrow and will spend a week with Leigh's Parents, they are very excited about their trip "home" and can't wait to show Olivia off to all our friends and family. YaYa and GaGa Worden are very excited for their visit and have already prepared the room with things to make Olivia feel comfortable. Leigh is a little nervous about the airport and all that comes along with traveling with a newborn, but it will be well worth it, and if Olivia screams the whole way, we will look on the bright side, its only an hour long flight.

Leigh and Olivia return on the 24th and the whole family will leave for Bassett mid-day on the 26th for a Baby Shower on Saturday at Fort Trial, back to back weekends with Grandparents, nothing better than that. Olivia is a very lucky girl.

One of Olivia's favorite past times is to follow Riley around the room...its adorable, we can't wait until she starts trying to pet him.
