And She Just Gets Wilder...

Olivia treated us to several funny faces today!

"Hey Stacey, do you think they'll serve me a
Girls Night cocktail if I keep the glasses on?"

"That camera flash is killing me."

"Okay Lady, that's enough. I'm covering
it up."

"Like stop following me with that camera!"

Hopefully this Valley Girl phase won't last
long!

Patkitten's Wild Week

Hangin' with the "Huntsville Henrys," Aunt Karen,
Uncle Matt and cousin Caitlyn.

It has been one exciting week for Olivia! First,
Aunt Mimzi came from Iowa. Next, Olivia had
her first experience with a bonafide belly dancer
at the local Taverna. And finally, this weekend,
she got to meet 4 of her cousins and 3 aunts and
uncles. AND she went to one of Dad's hockey games.
Talk about an exciting week for someone
who is barely 4 months old.

A sight I thought I'd never see...The original "Manimal"
goes domestic!

The scene at Murphy's was just as intriguing. After
taking Olivia outside (she had a meltdown from teething)
the kind manager brought me a lovely glass of cab
to sip as our poor muffin wailed away on the outdoor
bench...NOT something you often get to see in the Highlands!

Olivia takes a break from watching the game
so Caitlyn can "read" from her squeaky book.

Thanks to the Reinwalds, the Patkitten is now
also the proud owner of a pink and white "baller."
This fine foufou basketball is a nice addition to
Olivia's "sporting goods collection." She now also
possesses a metallic pink soccer ball, 2 Cubs onesies
(yes, I said Cubs), a Falcons blankie, Flyers booties,
a Predators uniform, AND some cool Auburn and
Iowa gear. All she needs is a Braves getup and
she will be all set.

And many thanks to cousin Caitlyn for using
her cross stitching and sewing talents to
surprise Olivia with this adorable pillow.

Aunt Mary's last ditch effort to try and smuggle
Olivia to LA (that's lower Alabama, folks), to
hang with cousins Liz, Kelly and Syd and Grand-
Mom Henry.

Okay, we think that's enough excitement for now--
or at least until 4th of July!

Aunt Mimzi Comes To Town

Aunt Mimzi came to town this week to meet
Ms. O. In honor of Mimzi's 30th birthday,
Olivia performed one of her Mary Lu Rhetton
poses on Mimzi's vintage baby blanket.

Help, I'm being loved to death!

Bath time fun.

Olivia will surely miss Aunt Mimzi and she can't
wait to go to the QC this fall to meet cousin Mia
and Uncle TJ!

Happy Father's Day!

Hangin' with Dad

Making Mom proud by proving I can roll over
from top to bottom AND bottom to top!

Rolling Along

A rare photo of Olivia smiling during tummy
time. She usually HATES any activity that
doesn't allow her to "see" everything that's
going on around her.

However, on Sunday she decided to prove to
us that not only was she starting to LIKE tummy
time, but she could actually roll over. In fact,
she rolled over several times (front to back).
We were amazed!

Oh, and she also decided to "read" while doing
tummy time. Doesn't she look like she is really
studying this book?

Today matching strollers, tomorrow matching
rings?! We aren't sure what the future will
hold, but for now we have decided that Olivia
has a boyfriend. Check out the pic of their
introduction.

Kelly, Luke-aka "Crusher," Olivia and Lance.

Luke is 2 months younger than Olivia. We are
looking forward to the day when these two
can actually interact. It won't be long!

Birthday Farewell

Olivia receives a kiss goodbye from cousins Katie
and Jake and Aunt Nadine. They left Atlanta this
morning to move to the land of Disney...sunny
Orlando! We will certainly miss them.

On a related note, Olivia wants to wish all of the
June babies a "Happy Birthday!" There are
actually too many June birthdays to mention-
8 in our family alone and several friends too.
Enjoy! :)

Actin' Silly

Wuttup...G!

Olivia's new "thing" is to roll around on her playmat.
Mind you, I said "roll around," NOT "roll over."
Either way, it is quite funny to watch her rotate
around her playmat making noises like a
Pterodactyl ! Time to buy a video camera...
