Anniversary Night (Clean)

Last night for our anniversary we lived it up out on the town. We started by dropping off our vacuum cleaner at the repair shop (I guess the motor is shot, so we probably won't have it repaired) then hit Toys R Us. If that wasn't a dream come true for Olivia then I don't know what is. She immediately got the crinkled nose smile on her face and started to run around like crazy, grabbing everything that was soft or bright colored off the shelves. We finally had to put her in the shopping cart to keep her in check. As we walked down the aisles that had the stuffed animals she would screech and laugh. She LOVED it. I put her down again to run around and she would never have two empty hands.
After this we went to a child clothing/toy consignment store that she again had a great time running around in. She loved looking out the window of the store as well and watching people pass by.
Next on the list was Baby's R Us. Same situation, except this time I gave her free reign. She must have traveled the entire store. Up and down aisles, laughing and touching stuff. We need to take her shopping more often, it tuckered her out.
Last stop was Outback Steakhouse. Brooke got a shrimp salad and I got a steak. Olivia even had a small bite of steak but didn't seem to like it much. I guess she is a rib girl. She was great through dinner except for a few throws of her cup. She even ate some zucchini. We had a great time and enjoyed having Olivia as part of it this time!

So Olivia hasn't acquired a taste for rice yet--thank goodness for Chili!
Cute--walking backwards. She will be skipping before you know it. :)
She is going to be a great shopper!!
Have fun.
Love,
