Dogs

Quick pre Halloween post of the dogs for those that enjoy these... You know who you are.

Puppy Bliss

Livi had a lot of fun with the little plastic balls that were in her new toy (video of new toy to come soon.) Actually, Lulu had more fun with the plastic balls than Olivia did, but Olivia had fun watching Lu. I must add a disclaimer, Olivia is often seen in her diaper only, and we are trying to change that, but usually we are hanging out at the house and meal time is never far away, so she lounges in her undies. This video is particularly "Whiskey Tango" because she is in a diaper and shoes. Just bear in mind that she would never go out in public this way (though it doesn't get more public than the Internet I guess) but Brooke was just having her practice walking in her shoes while hanging out at home. There is never enough time to say "Hey, lets get the camera to record this, oh, and throw some clothes on her real quick." That would be a definite buzz kill for Olivia.

Ok, some clothed shots for everyone!!

Wet T-Shirt Contest

The other night Brooke was ready to give Olivia her bath, so I got the bottle ready, undressed Olivia and took off the diaper, a typical night in the Spatta household. However, Brooke was not ready with the bath when I brought Livi in, so I had to stand and wait for the tub to fill. We were looking at ourselves in the mirror waving, when I saw something leaking. Yep, Olivia decided to pee on me. As soon as I saw it I felt it hit my foot and soak into my shirt. She was nothing but smiles. And so the circle of dominance continues. Chili pees on Olivia, Olivia pees on me. I am at the bottom of the food chain I guess. Maybe I had better pee on Brooke so I wont be at the absolute bottom.
Yesterday we were able to get ticklish Olivia on video. She is so ticklish some days, but she does have other days where it doesn't affect her as much.

Clicks In The Bath

If anyone has ever wondered what bath time was like for Olivia, here is a small window into that experience. We actually took this video because she was doing her mouth click that I mentioned in previous posts. She loves her bath time and is great at it, except when I give it to her, then it is party time. She tries to get away with all sorts of mischief. She stands up, she reaches for the soap bottles, squirms. Then when Brooke goes to bath her the next night she has all new bad habits. It is a little ridiculous.

Early Halloween

Olivia's costume arrived in the mail today and we couldn't wait to try it on her. Brooke took a bunch of pictures, but the costume is not entirely complete yet. Olivia seemed to love it though, except when she falls forward, she has quite a hard time getting back up. We will post more pictures as Halloween approaches, but here is a short sneak peek! Personally, I think it is the cutest thing I have ever seen. Plus, the dogs get a nice break from dress-up now

Rudimentary Tools

The other day Brooke looked over and saw Olivia using her fish tank as a small chair. She apparently just decided to sit on it as a comfortable resting place to play with her new pumpkin. Such an innovative little girl. Notice the spoon. Always has the spoon!!

More Crazy Faces

Olivia has been going crazy with her crazy face recently, except of course when the camera comes out. I spent about 10 minutes last night trying to capture it, and never really got a good shot. I would say, "oh well" and put the camera down and she would immediately do it. It is like trying to get a picture of Big Foot or the Lochness Monster, however, this face does exist.

Brooke brought Livi to the doctor yesterday because we have been concerned that she may have an ear infection. She keeps tilting her head to the right and rubbing her ear on her shoulder. So after 1 1/2 hrs in the waiting room with tons of other sick kids (even in the well waiting area) Olivia proved to have no ear infection. However, now we are wondering if she will be getting sick from the doctor's office. Oh well, we will see. There is no getting away from germs!
