JuJu\'s house is full of new (or rather old) toys for Olivia to play with. This one has a rattle in it.

JuJu and Olivia! The house was full of boxes as Eric and Kristen (his fiance) packed Eric\'s stuff up to move to Denver...unfortunately I never pulled the camera out when they were around. Oops.

Dad took some time off work during the week; it was fun for me to see him, and Olivia sure enjoyed him, too.

Olivia has belly lauged a couple times at this point; during this week Papa Taylor unintentionally taught her to cough-laugh. And that\'s what she still does.

Nana gave Olivia this adorable outfit a couple months back...and the hat finally fits! If you\'re curious to see how much her head has grown recently, look at her in this same hat in the album called Week Twelve.

Papaw Simpson and Olivia at the Lessel\'s house. Geoffrey\'s parents and grandparents gave me a super-fun birthday celebration with dinner and ten pints of Bluebell Ice Cream - all different flavors. We had fun passing them around.

Papa John and CeCe bought a cool tool box for Olivia to play with at their house. She loved it.

Trying to figure out how it works...

Of course, as usual, she really just wants to put it in her mouth.

CeCe got to read the bed-time stories that night. What a treat! She quickly learned that Olivia loves books...because she wants them in her mouth!

Sometimes story-time is more like tug-of-war to keep the book out of her mouth so the pages don\'t get ruined. Still, she\'s sweet.

Talking on the telephone with Olivia near by is a tug-of-war game, too. She wants that phone! It was fun to watch the grandparents experience these things about Olivia.

And of course, no one could get enough of her. She is so fun!

Although you can\'t see it, I\'m blowing out my birthday candles on my birthday apple pie. Thanks Mom!
