Hiking at Bandelier National Monument

My great aunt and uncle, Bill and Betsy from Minneapolis are here to visit for a week. We've been having lots of fun doing so many things! Today we went to the Bandelier National Monument and hiked around the ruins and went up to the cave dwellings. I got to ride in my front pack with dad all day. That was alot of fun and I talked quite a bit. Mom and Betsy heard me saying "da-da-da" from across one of the paths! The video below is us just walking along enjoying the day!

Having fun at the park

Today mom and dad took me and the dogs to the park. I went on the swings and had so much fun! I can't wait until I can go down the slide and play in the sand. I am just loving the outdoors!

Happy St Patrick's Day (a little late!)

Catching Up

It's been a couple weeks since I've posted on here. Mom and Dad have kept me pretty busy. Last weekend we drove up to Fort Collins, CO to visit Jerry and Nadine Beck. We got home Sunday and then my Great Aunt Jill and Great Uncle Swede from South Dakota drove down and got here Monday. They left yesterday and in a couple days my Great Aunt Betsy and Great Uncle Bill from Minneapolis are coming for a week. It's been great to have all the company!

I'm 7 months old today!

Wow-I can't believe I'm getting closer to being one years old! I just keep changing. I can sit up all by myself without falling over. I love to sit on the floor and play with all my toys-it gives mom and dad a chance to get things done without having to hold me up or put pillows behind me. I also know how to put up my arms when anybody walks by so I can be picked up. It doesn't matter if I'm in my walker, jumper, or on the floor. I throw my arms up and maybe whine a little and somebody's sure to pick me up! I mean who wouldn't with these big beautiful blue eyes! Mom and Dad tell me everyday how beautiful they are and what an angel I am. My talking, aka little screams and dah dah dahs, have continued-I just loving hearing my voice! I also love my baths as you can see in the picture below. I was having so much fun splashing in the water and didn't want to get out. I am getting bigger and bigger all the time and mom and dad are just having so much fun with me. They are getting a little nervous for when I start crawling, but can't wait at the same time. I am looking forward to it too so I don't have to reach for everything. I can just go grab it. Even if it is Abby and Coco!

My resume

I am a hard working little girl. Don't let my size fool you. I will work hard in your office by looking as cute and charming as can be. I attract alot of attention and people love me! I can already talk gibberish into the phone and am improving my computer skills on my keyboard everyday! And I love highlighters too! I don't draw with them yet, but that will come with time. If you like what you see and don't have any child labor laws, I'd love to gab with you-unless I'm in need of my paci! Olivia Froehlich

Olivia and Abby

Here's a little video clip of me playing with Abby. Good thing Abby is a very well mannered dog! I don't know if Coco would have been so patient. They're going to be getting more than they bargained for when I can start crawling and walking! Look out!

Time to start putting things up!

Look what I did! I tipped the garbage down all by myself! I just scooted myself up to it and pulled it down. I almost got the plastic bag in my mouth-good thing mom and dad are always watching me. I bet it won't be left on the floor too much longer. I would even bet alot of things are going to be put up high so I don't get into them. And I know my hair's a little wild-Dad had taken the rubber band out when I went down for a nap. Funny how it just stands on end by itself though!
