August 19-26

And the winner of the poll is...  Listed above.  I'm assuming it's Jacque, since she's had a commanding lead (4-2-2-2) for several days, but the poll ended after I went to bed and this post goes live before I get home from church.  If there's a huge upset, I'll make a note of it later.  :)

UPDATE: Jacque did win.  Congratulations, Jacque!  Your prize has been ordered and will come with us some weekend when we visit.  :)

Olivia officially has six teeth.  Three on the top and the three directly underneath on the bottom.  As Bryan says, "how disturbingly not symmetric of her."


Most mothers put cheerios or juice cups in the little cup holders on strollers.  What do I put in them?  Rocks.  One rock in each holder and Olivia is happy as can be during our walks.  Usually she holds two of them, occasionally knocking them together, and the third is just a backup in case she drops one.

When Jillian was younger, she had a favorite cupboard that she sat in.  It was narrower than normal cupboards and was right next to the stove.  She would pull all the cereal out, arrange it in a little semi-circle around herself, and sit in the opening of the cupboard.  Olivia doesn't do this to my cupboards, but she does like to crawl behind the stroller and sit in the fireplace.  It reminded me of pictures we have of Jillian in her cupboard.

Playing with all the scarves.  Guess how many scarves she's wearing.  Closest guess (made by September 2) gets 15 points:

  1. Wow! That does look alot like Jillian in the cereal cupboard. Especially the first picture.

    Although I can only see 3 individual colors of scarves it looks like too much scarf to be only 3 so I will say 4 scarves (maybe there are 2 of the dark blue? )

  2. I think I see four scarves... possibly. I also like that you let her play with rocks. She really is BamBam!

  5. I'm guessing 4! Right now, at 96 degrees here, it also seems like a pastime that's really warm! Grandma A.
