What happens if you combine a baby, a full belly and the infamous airplane maneuver? Lacey happened to document the answer on her iphone five minutes ago, I happened to experience it!

Not too cool for the pool
Olive had her first large water experience in Mema's big tub at the farm. She liked that a lot so then we tried the lake during the family reunion. She did great at the lake, I'm not sure if it was the little fishes nibbling at her toes or the huge life jacket from 1980 that came up so high on her she could suck on it. Needless to say I wasn't worried about a swimming pool at all, so lately Olive and I have been frequenting the pool at our new apartment complex.
It is usually empty during the day so it seems like we have a private pool all to ourselves, including a private lifeguard. We usually don't last long because she gets pretty tuckered out after taking a dip, but we are working hard on floating on our backs and blowing bubbles. When we're not splashing around in the pool cute swimmers and a swim suit from Aunt Taralyn, Olive likes to sport her white rim sunglasses from Uncle Corbin and Aunt Alice. Together, they are quite the fashion statement, but she pulls it off.
Today we were lucky enough to have daddy home to come with us. He is the best swim partner and likes to practice all kinds of new tricks. She likes to be tossed in the air, jump off the side (not quite but we do the motion), make tug boat noises and get the bubbles that pop up from splashing.
Some people use their nose to hold up their glasses...I use my cheeks.

Ready to go home for lunch and a nap.
Olive can also sit up all by herself as of one week ago. This means she can now play with toys around her. Yay!

Olive One and Olive Two
Recently we have had a lot going on. Chas started his internship and is gone a lot during the day which is something we are not used to at all. We moved to Alexandria to be closer to work and school and cut down on some commute time. We like our little 2 bedroom apartment and enjoy being so close to downtown. We had a Charles Bernard and Olive Clawson family reunion and got to spend time with a lot of family I had never even met. Many relatives mostly if not all from Arizona came out and we enjoyed the many 4th of July festivities that DC has to offer.
Other than that Olive is growing wonderfully. She is so sweet and happy all the time. She is quite healthy and I am happy to report she is without a doubt the best thing in our little lives. Here are some pictures of her to catch us up on the last couple months.

At the family reunion I learned that Grandma Olive was named after the wife of the Doctor who delivered her.
