Attachments

Olivia is officially attached to me. She whines EVERY time she sees me when someone else is holding her. At first I was happy about this to me it meant she finally was showing me that I was important to her, but after about 2 weeks of this it is not fun anymore. I having been reading like I always do and I guess I just need to let her whine a little and only take her from someone when she is not whining so she realizes that whining is not going to get her what she wants... UM YEA, sounds easy but let me tell you not only does the person holding her want to immediately hand her off but I want to grab her maybe it is because I am not one for allowing her to cry as stated in a previous post. So I have come up with my own method... I hand her off facing out and leave the room as fast as possible, now it sounds retarded and it is but it has been working. So maybe I should write a parenting book. Can you imagine the reviews I would get, HAHA. Anyhow the reason for this blog is to show that sometimes mommy knows best, neither one of us is suffering this way and maybe if she gets passed off enough she will eventually forget about me either way I like my method.

This is the face Olivia immediately gives if she is facing me in a hand off...

Babies and vacations

OK so we went to Buffalo and Olivia was an ANGEL! I was a wreck I think I made it the worst when boarding the plane I was so concerned with her not having her ears pop that I freaked out, not out of the ordinary when traveling with 4 generations, My grandpa, 83 enough said, my mom 48 best grandma ever BUT sometimes tries to take over, my little brother, 21 who enjoys getting a rise out of me, and Olivia 6 months old who is the BEST! Oh Rob was on the plane to but he is so laid back he let me do the all the worrying he just gave me what ever I wanted in 5 seconds flat.

So we made it to Cleveland and had our 3 hour layover and Rob's mom came to meet us at the airport, she was able to spend about 1 1/2 hours with Olivia before I officially FREAKED out when I saw the following.





Not only do I not care to fly put this thing had propellers. Again Olivia was fabulous my mom insisted on holding her the whole flight cause I was having a panic attack the plane only had 9 rows with 4 seats in each row! Well we made it and had a wonderful time, here are a few pictures of our adventures!
