Bye bye diapers!!

We are officially done with diapers. Woo-hoo! It was certainly my choice to use cloth diapers and I'm happy we did it, but Rob and I are overjoyed not to deal with the poopies and the never ending washing of the diapers. Olivia seems to have a bladder of steel and can hold it through naptime and all through the night. Her diapers have been dry for the last few weeks and so when I discussed it with our pediatrician at her two yr well check, he said to go for it wearing panties all night. That was a week ago and she's been dry so far. She even noticed and said in a giddy voice, "I'm wearing panties to bed."

ROAR!

Olivia's splashpad birthday party @ Pease park

We celebrated Olivia's 2nd birthday party on Saturday at the splashpad in Pease park. With the extreme Texas heat this summer we decided to have the party from 9:30 am - 11:30 am to keep us all from melting. Instead of cake, we opted for chocolate sprinkle donuts. A chocolate sprinkle donut is pretty much Olivia's favorite treat. We usually have one before we go to play gym on Friday mornings. She and her guests all seemed to enjoy the tasty treats.We had a terrific turnout. Mimi, Aunt Christie and Aunt Kim & Bennett all woke up bright and early to drive down from Dallas. We also had the Benavides, Langhouts, Browers and half of the Borths join in the fun. The kids wore themselves out running around playing in the misters and exploring the playground.

After the party, we came home to open gifts and have some lunch with our family in from Dallas. Then Sheila and Rebecca brought Trent over to play since he couldn't make it to the party because of a soccer game. Olivia had such a wonderful day playing with her family and friends (even with no nap). It's so hard to believe she is 2 years old. As they say, time passes so quickly!

Look who's 2!!!

Miss O was very excited about her birthday cupcake. More to come...
