Olivia had two "firsts" this week:
First smile: She smiled at Grandma Mary on Tuesday, then smiled at me on Wednesday. I told her before we left that she wasn't allowed to show her first smile to Grandma Mary. She did not listen.
First intentional thumb sucking: Olivia stuck her little thumb into her mouth on purpose and by herself for the first time yesterday. Abby was impressed - her dad not so much.
We had a nice time visiting family and introducing Olivia to lots of Great Aunts and Uncles and cousins and also Great Grandma Lorraine and Great Grandpa Harley. Abby had so much fun that she didn't want to leave. This morning she woke up and said "Abby lives here okay." But she was pretty excited when she got home and her dog Maize was going wild with excitement. I'm hoping a night in our own beds will be a good change. Abby is getting her two-year molars and they are really bothering her. She named the new tooth "The Beast", so she is frequently asking for medicine for "The Beast." I hope she can get over the discomfort soon!

Smarty Pants
Abby and I made it safely home from Hastings yesterday with a very minimal amount of crying. It was a record, even for when Steve and I are both in the car and I can ride in the back with her. Some days we can really tell she is growing up.
Abby's Uncle Dan and his friend Zac Fay came and hauled away our old Buick yesterday so that it can be repaired and be her Aunt Hannah's first car. Dan and Zac got to enjoy Sault Ste. Marie's finest dining establishment (or not) - The Antlers. While we were having dinner Abby completed another one of those incredible little "firsts" that happen in these first couple years. She successfully fed herself a french fry with a fork. We were surprised that she was able to fork the fry and then for her to be able to eat it off the fork was even more impressive! She is growing up so fast.
Steve and I are heading out this afternoon to have our new home inspected. While I was down in Hastings for the showers I was able to sneak off to Home Depot for a few minutes to pick up some updated light fixtures. I am so excited about our new home and all the fun we will have decorating and making it our own.
