When the sun is out the people will play

Oh how I love good weather. I thrive on good weather. So much gets done! And because I zip around and can get things done, I can go have nice lunches with Olivia. Today we went to the Burlingame park by my old high school. Olivia got to wear light clothes, though my sister still tells me that I over dressed her. Are you kidding? Olivia is only wearing 2 layers! I also plopped her old UCLA Bruins hat on her that we got for her awhile back. She's already growing out of it! Will have to buy another bucket hat for her, because she looks adorable with her big head and cheeks!
We had a picnic at the park, she was very good with eating her food, though she kept wanting to walk around. It was quite a challenge making sure she didn't trip on the uneven ground between grass and asphalt. We laid out a picnic blanket under some shade and watched the big kids and doggies go by.
Olivia loved walking right up to the bigger kiddies and watching what they are doing and sometimes touching what they are touching. Luckily the kids were all nice and the parents were all relaxed as Olivia would pick up random toys and play with it. Can't wait to get her a sand pail and shovel. She loved the ones lying about. Below is a video of her playing with one. While playing a little boy came up to her - boy was she snappy. I guess we don't have to worry too much for now...haha.
All in all a wonderful day, the only disappointment was David could not stay the whole time due to hospital shifts :( We'll just have to cross our fingers for more sunny weathered days when David is off!

Our baby is 18 Months today!

My oh my! Time flies when you've got a wonderfully behaved/happy baby. Olivia is officially a year and a half old. To celebrate we took her to see Dr. Tanaka for her 18-month check up :( As we made our way to the hallway leading up to the doctor's office, she started to become aware of her surroundings. She looked around wide-eyed as David carried her to the office. Still wary, we waited briefly in the waiting room. When called, David carried her into the hallway leading to the exam room, to which Olivia started crying immediately! She wanted nothing to do with the exam table. We had to carry her in the room until she calmed down. We managed to sit her down to remove her clothes, but she just knew something was up. Boy was she right. The nurse came in to weigh her and measure her. She would not having anything to do with it. Luckily (though I think they did it on purpose) we got a room with a large window looking out.
