Play... Play... Play...

Jovie LOVES playing with her blocks.  She has gotten very good at stacking them by size.  It's quite impressive.  I think one of her favorite things about the blocks is getting to dump them out of the bag and making a huge mess!  One thing she has learned is how to help pick up.  When it's time to pick up the blocks (which she calls bloooooo) she will help you put them back in the bag.  It's pretty cute!

Last week I had to travel to OKC for work, so Jov got to hang out with sissy and daddy a few days.  I had a tough time leaving, but was okay once I was gone.  I was SOOO happy to come back and Jovie was too.  She ran to me -- yelling MAMA! Too cute!  She even helped me pack!

We are constantly on the move, playing inside, playing outside, reading books, chasing Jov around the house, watching Lib's volleyball games, visiting friends, spending time with the Nana's and Papa's... time is just flying by! Jovie is getting so big and it's happening so fast it makes me a little bit sad!  At the same time, I enjoy it because she gets more enjoyable by the day! She has taken on the role of CLIMBER - and I mean, she climbs on EVERYTHING!  We had a small climbing accident at daycare and you'll see the results below.  She just can't be stopped!


We are trying to get as much playing outside done as we can in the next few weeks as we know chilly weather is right around the corner.  Here are a few more photos to enjoy of our little girl!

Go Hawks!

Go HAWKS!

Well the football season has begun, so Jovie of couse, had to wear her new Hawkeye shirt Saturday for the game!  She looked adorable sporting the pig tails, pink hawk shirt and black leggings.  Jovie now knows how to fist pump and yell - HAWKS! It's pretty hilarious.  We managed to watch 1 quarter of the game, and then had to change it to Mickey, as Jovie didn't love the football game! I'm sure when daddy isn't working that will change in a hurry!  This weekend was spent enjoying play time at home with mommy, because daddy had to work most of it.  Sunday, Nana came down and babysat Jovie so I could walk in a half marathon with my mother-in-law in CR.  Let me tell you, I will NEVER walk one again! I'm more sore from walking 13.1 miles than I ever have been running 13.1 miles.  This weekend marked my 1 year anniversay of my first half - so to date, I have 3 of them under my belt.  Who would've ever thought!

This is a busy week for us here at the Moel house, as tomorrow is Steve's birthday, and Thursday is our 4 year wedding anniversary.  Next weekend I leave for OKC on Sunday - so Daddy and the girls will be on their own until Tuesday night :(

Here are some pictures from the past couple weeks.  Hope all is well with everyone - saying extra prayers this week for my Grandma Shirley who has decided to move into assisted living.  It will be an adjustment for her, but she will end up very happy there I'm sure.
