It's hot outside, but we're having fun!!

It has been way to hot to be outside the past few weeks...so Mike and I escaped the first weekend in Aug. to Miami for a long weekend with some friends. Funny that it was cooler there than in St. Louis! Grammy and Papa Kruger came to St. Louis to stay with Sweetpea. It was the first time that I had left her for more than one night. Mike is more used to it from traveling for work. I did OK though! We had an awesome time hanging out on South Beach during the day and going out at night with our friends Tom and Sean and their girlfriends Jen and Virginia at night.

On Aug. 12, Olivia turned nine months old. Today I took her to the doctor for her nine month check-up. She now weighs 20 lbs. 13 oz. and measures almost 29 inches long. She's getting so big!!

"Seamus, what are you doing out there???"

Olivia recently started crawling on her hands and knees (no more army crawl) and she's also "cruising" now, where she'll hang onto something and walk a few steps. Pretty soon we're not going to be able to keep up with her!

One of her favorite things - swinging at the park! We tried a new park near Delmar today with some friends. Olivia had a blast and took a very long nap afterwards (which was great!). Thank goodness it is finally cooling off a little outside. I'm ready for fall.
