Lovely warm days...

We had a few amazingly warm days here in Denver. Olive played outside with her neighborhood friends and got to go to the zoo. Despite the perfect weather, Bob is still fighting with a never ending cold. Unfortunately, there is no rest for the weary and he is busy, busy, busy with the new Governor and the legislature back in session. I traveled to Grand Teton the week before last for work (BRRRRRR!). We have been going up to Keystone every other weekend to stay at a house we rented with friends. The skiing has been awesome and Olive has tons of friends to play. Much love!

Stock show and a chicken in the family

Aunt Molly and Uncle Robin adopted a hen at the stock show and we all visited it in its new home. We all met up at the stock show where Olive showed off her animal noises.

Nature girl

Olive asserted her independence on a (very long) walk around Crown Lake by refusing to ride in the stroller. She also rolled in the grasses and sat on every park bench we encountered. It is hard to be too annoyed when she does her special penguin walk.

Olive is talking up a storm these days and has developed a serious love for music. Nana brings over CDs and Olive always lets us know when they are over and need to be replayed or if the pause between songs is too long. She dances (spins around, bobs up and down, and shuffles from side to side) nonstop. I didn't know what to expect at this phase but can honestly say that it is tops so far.
