A few items of business...

1. Will gave Tyler a REAL smile last week, on August 23rd. He continues to smile daily!

2. We bottled 152 quarts of peaches on Wednesday (almost double what we did last year).

3. We spent the weekend in St. George for Tyler's cousin's wedding. Olivia had so much fun in the pool. I've got a cute video to post soon.

4. Will slept 7 hours straight last night. YAY!

5. Everything Olivia does revolves around the Disney Princesses. Her dresses are "Cinderella" dresses, her hair-dos are "Cinderella" hair-do's (yes, I've resorted to this in order to get her dressed and ready for the day), she sings like Ariel, she flies like Wendy & Tinkerbell, etc. I have to limit her princess movies to one per day, otherwise she'd watch them all day, everyday!

6. She can name seven princesses: Cinderella (Ella), Ariel (awell), Aurora (Awowa), Tinker Bell (Ta Bel), Belle (Ta Bel--sounds just like Tinkerbell, although she definitely knows the difference), Snow White (No--it's also how she says "Snow"), Jasmine (Jass). Aunt Wendi brought her back a package of Princesses from her trip to Disneyland and Olivia carries them everywhere. She loads her arms with all six of them (Jasmine wasn't included) and totes them into the grocery store, to grandma's house, in the car, outside to play in the sprinklers, and she even takes them all to bed. I often try to sneak one or two of them away from her-- all six is quite the armful and she is constantly slowing us down to stop and pick up those that have fallen. But, alas, she always knows if one is missing and demands that it be returned before we can go anywhere.

7. Will rolled over from his stomach to his back TWICE on Sunday. He did it once last week, but I thought it was a coincidence. He was like a little cat-in-a-bag in utero. Seriously, the kid kicked and moved like CRAZY. I knew he was a strong baby. The nurses even commented on it in the hospital. We'll see if he keeps it up.
