This Is How She Rolls

I know, I know before you get all upset and call the police to report for for endangering a child listen to what I have to say. Olivia LOVES to drive. Anytime she gets near a truck she tries to get in a drive it. Today we went to Uncle Russ and Aunt Jen's for Kendall's birthday party and Olivia had to drive with Daddy. She gets so into it, she is usually bouncing up and down while she drives-it just comes naturally to her. For Kendall's birthday Russ and Jen had a bounce house and this giant slide. Once Olivia got comfortable and started feeling better Daddy took her out to the slide to play. She LOVED it. He would put her at the top and well the pictures speak for themselves...



More updates-
Olivia had her 6 week follow up at the ENT yesterday. The news is this-she's perfect. Well I already knew that but now the Dr has confirmed it to me. Her ears are perfect-no fluid, no hearing loss NOTHING. That means no tubes for her. I'm so glad he wanted us to wait it out to see if she got any more ear infections and she didn't.
Even though her ears are perfect it doesn't mean she can't get this nasty stomach virus that is going around. At about 3Am she woke up and threw up and this continued until about 5AM-everyone was miserable in our house. She was finally able to fall back to sleep but was probably starving and felt terrible. After 2 hours of sleep she was up and again getting sick. The Dr said to wait it out and not give her any fluids-whatever I didn't listen to her. We gave her some gartorade which helped a little, enough to get her a full belly and a nap for 4 hours. Yep you read that right 4 hours-Paul and I caught a little shut eye too:) She was a new baby when she got up and off to the party we went. She sure was wiped out when we got home. She seems to be feeling a little better and is keeping a little formula down. Pray that it doesn't last long and she sleeps and feels better.
