Olivia Asleep

Jay thinks it's weird to take pictures of sleeping kids. I guess that I can kinda agree, but who wouldn't give me a high five for capturing these gems over the last few months?

sleeping with her toilet paper roll

winter hat in July

and a sock that was most likely on her hand

completely stretched out

socks on hands

socks on hands again

this would drive me crazy

And finally, my favorite ~ blindfolded.

She said that she didn't want Josiah to watch her sleep. This was her solution.

Why does she have socks on her hands?? We make Lanie do that when her finger tips are cracked in the winter and she HATES it!! I love how Olivia sleeps straight up.

Tamra- When she has trouble falling asleep, she gets up and does weird stuff. She puts the socks on her hands herself. I have no idea why.
