Nine Months Old and Crazy as Ever
Olivia is getting big. At 9 months I though I should do a little photo shoot again but she wasn't very interested this time. The only thing she wanted to do was look at her books. Olivia loves books. We go to the library every month and check out a ton of books (since they take about 1 min to read). By 9 months she has mastered the crawling position but won't crawl. And she has her 2 cute little teeth. She tries to smile for the camera and you can see her 2 teeth poke out of her cheeser grin. She is loads of fun! Enjoy!

Bad Boys, Bad Boys, What ya gonna do when they come for you?
Last night I was up at 2am but not for the usual baby waking. Last night we enjoyed a little real life "Cops" episode.
Brodie and I were in a very deep sleep when I awoke to someone yelling expletives that sounded all to similar to Rahm Emanuel. As my sleepy, angry self got up to look out the window to see who was disturbing m blissful sleep I heard and saw 2 men yelling at each other with a girl telling them to shut up. I was going to yell out the window for them "to be quite so we could sleep" but they sounded like they could be the type to do something crazy. I couldn't decide if I should call the cops so I woke up Brodie to ask him (don't know how he was still sleeping with all the noise).
Luckily someone else had called the cops and they showed up soon after.
So this is how the Cops episode went down. Five cop cars showed up. The policemen tried to calm the man down. Wasn't working. Still lots of screaming and cursing. Police grab the man and push him against a car. "I didn't do anything." "Sir, you need to calm down or I will tase you." "But I didn't (bleeping) do anything." Bright light. Hand cuffs. More yelling. Lots of car doors slamming. Cars driving away.
An hour long show at 2am. Who'd of thunk?

Year End Pictures
Update. We forgot to mention one more thing Olivia got for a Christmas... her first tooth. We can barely feel it, but it is for sure a tooth. Bring on the biting.
Our Little Card Player
We were playing Apples to Apples with my family over Christmas break, and Olivia was helping Mommy. We gave her the green card that Mom won and told her not to tell anyone what the card was. Let's see how good of a poker face our doodle has....
"OK, I got my own card, let's see what the card is."
"Oh dude, I got an ace. That's a full house with over $500 dollars in the pot."
"OK, play it cool. I can take these guys to the cleaners."
"Oh crap, Am I smiling? Oh no I can't help myself!"
Merry Christmas
Well Christmas is here again and that means it is Doodle's first Christmas. I got all of my jobs done up until the 24th and we set off for Idaho. We were fully loaded in the Escape with all of our gifts and luggage for our ten day vacation. We even had to pack things around Liv's car seat to fit everything in. She did pretty good on the drive down, though. We had a portable DVD player that we let her watch part of the time and also a butterscotch sucker. We got to my parents in time for Christmas eve dinner. We had an awesome meal with many more good meals while we were staying there. We had drawn names for families, so we opened those gifts that evening. We got a large clock for Derek and Laressa for their new house; they seemed to like it. I also installed a satellite receiver for them so they could get some more TV channels. Kyle drew our name and got us a camp stove under my parent's advice. We had to laugh though because my parents had gotten us a camp stove a couple years ago. Uh Oh, they might be losing some of their memory.
Ashley and I bought a bunch of our gifts online and just had them shipped to my parent's house to make sure we would get them in time. Mom had collected them and put them on our bed for us to get when we arrived. After opening presents, I went upstairs to make sure all of our gifts were there. I had ordered some new Carhartt overalls for my own Christmas present. That was really the only large gift I was getting. I opened the box with the overalls and found them in their plastic sleeve, with the right size sticker on the leg, but they were seriously used! I was so mad at Amazon and didn't know how anyone could justify them as new. I told Ashley to come upstairs and have a look; she couldn't believe it either. Word finally got out to the rest of my family that I had been ripped off by Amazon and was about to call them to chew them out on Christmas eve. As I was looking up the number, Dad and Kyle decided to fess up. They had got me good. I guess Kyle had an old pair of overalls he had used when he worked on the oil rigs. They took the plastic bag and the size sticker off the new pair and pulled the switch. They had a good laugh. I'm just glad they didn't let me call some poor customer service rep at Amazon on Christmas eve.
We awoke the next morning around seven to find that Santa had come!

Liv got a "Jenny Jump up" for one of her gifts. She loves to jump and swing around.
Ashley and I got new Griz hooded sweat shirts. We all have wonderful morning faces. Liv is sporting some of her new pajamas.
Looks like Olivia is one of the only ways we can get Dean to somewhat smile. She actually really liked him.
Liv enjoyed some Christmas candy with Grandpa and Uncle Dean.
She also got a new high chair booster seat; she enjoyed a Gerber biter biscuit in her new chair.

Gingerbread FHE
.
The Pippos invited us to FHE before Christmas. I guess they have a tradition of making Christmas gingerbread houses with all of their friends every December. We actually met everyone at the institute building by UM campus. Olivia was in candy wonderland, however you can see in the picture that we gave her a pretzel to chew on instead of candy. She did get plenty of candy as well. Ashley and I made some sweet houses and afterwards, we took them over to the Roberts for Christmas. Doodle looked like she was smokin a stogey. Maybe for next FHE we will have a lesson on the word of wisdom.

Christmas Sunday
Ash bought me a new Christmas tie for the season. It was covered with Christmas trees and had a singing button. Liv was fascinated by Daddy's tie, so I took off the "press here" sticker and gave it to her. She was actually more interested in eating the tie than pushing the music button. I think she may be more interested next Christmas.
Smile for your Rectal Exam
Poor little Olivia, she has been sick lately with a cold. It is hard to see her so sick and really not be able to do much for her. Her nose is constantly runny and she has a bad cough. Yet, even when you can tell she is feeling horrible, she tries to be smiley. She is a good sport. Well momma, has to be monitoring Liv's temperature, and says the best way to take it is rectally. I tell her to quit torturing the poor girl. Maybe it's me, but it sounds unpleasant. I snapped this picture when Mom was about to take her temperature; Liv sure seemed pretty happy for what was taking place. Look at mean old Momma just laughing before the procedure. I had to laugh when one of the times when Ash was taking her temperature Liv shot the thermometer back out. That's my girl.
