Tonight Olivia got her hands on an empty bubble container and was in heaven! It went to the bath with her, and Olivia had super fun putting the wand in and out and chasing Trixie around, trying to "blow bubbles" for Trixie to chase. Trixie didn't quite get the idea and was more scared and running away from Olivia than anything else.
We FaceTimed with Aunt Sarah tonight for a few minutes, which was super fun. Holding a coherent conversation is a little challenging with Olivia going after the iPad when she sees the person on there.
Olivia's teeth are clearly hurting as the 8 come in. She's having trouble sleeping at night. While she goes down to sleep easily, when the first sleep cycle completes, she awakes and cannot fall back asleep. Sunday night, Kevin helped her about 5 times through the night! Last night, she awoke at 9:30 and I somehow administered infant motrin, and cuddled her in bed with me until she fell asleep for reals. At 11:11pm I put Olivia in her crib and she was down for the night - thank goodness!
Kevin was in Denver last week and is in Florida this week. I've been lucky to have help on various days and things are going well. Olivia's ears seem to be clear now and she's happy other than the teething.
This week is my first real week in the new management position. I'm slowly pulling back the layers of the onion and learning the lay of the land. This will be a challenging position, but for very different reasons than my previous position. I believe if I learn enough variety of things, this one will be a good thing on my resume for a career outside of LM in a few years.
I missed President Obama's 6th State of the Union tonight, but it's just all disheartening the whole way our Government is operating.
Oh, if I didn't mention it earlier, another behavior Olivia learned from the dogs is trying to catch the bubbles with her teeth! HA!
Trixie had 4 more teeth pulled last Friday. Very sad. Speaking of which, I have to brush their teeth tonight. She still has the four canine teeth up front though - so can still play tug of war!
My parents are contemplating a trip out here in February - that would be a delight! Maybe we'll go down and visit Sarah in April before she moves to Nashville!
Okay, time to do a little personal email then switch to the work email... Lots to learn!
