Friday, 18 July

Got up and took Olivia to daycare. I got up early today - got a lot of sleep the night before. I then cut the grass, front and back, fed the animals and fish, did some laundry, cleaned up Olivia's room, put the dishes away, had some coffee and paid bills all before 8:30 am. I felt really good, got so much done and it was so early. After that, got showered and then worked on cleaning up the office - I had clothes everywhere. So put everything away, kind of tightied up the laundry room and then watched some TV. I have not really done any working out this whole week so I feel like a slug but taking a little time off has been really nice. When Kurt got up, we decided to get some lunch. Just got something light, some salads and then we came home and relaxed for a bit. Kurt had to work in the evening so we just hung out at the house for a while. I then went and got Olivia, horrible traffic but finally got her. Kurt saw a pair of shoes that he wanted from Target, really inexpensive and cute, something to wear out for fun, anyway - we went to one store and they didn't have his size so - I went to 3 other stores and found them for him, he was so happy. Got home, changed Olivia, Kurt said Good Bye and then it was a fun night for the two of us. Okay - HUGE NEWS - Our Little Olivia decided today was the day that she was going to start walking on her own. She was standing up holding on to her crib, she has been doing that for a while, she then turned around, learning on the crib and walked about 7 or 8 steps towards me. I was shocked, luckily this was right before Kurt left, so I screamed for him to come into her room (he was thinking something bad had happened) but then she did it again for him. We recorded it on our phones so hopefully I can get that uploaded. So we practiced all evening, having her stand up and walk. She is still a little clumsy with it but just the fact that she is walking makes us so happy. The smile on her face (it might be the look of shock too) is the best part, she is just as excited as we are. We had a great evening, had some dinner, played on the stairs, walked around for a while and then it was time for her to go to bed. I watched Project Runway and Shear Genius and then I went to bed. It was a really great day.
