It was a big week for Orli. She is learning more and more about her abilities. This week she learned to blow raspberries (and now loves it so much she can’t stop) and to giggle. She has been “laughing” for a while, but it is usually just a squeal of laughter. This week she has been fully giggling, with multiple sounds. It is adorable, in my unbiased opinion. She also continues to chew on her hands. A tooth must be ready pop out any day.

On Friday afternoon, Orli had her second round of shots. Jeff and I were dreading it, but she did really well. She took a bit of a nap afterwards and then was a happy girl when she woke up. She was still a bit worn out from all the excitement, so we had a quiet evening. Jeff and I also were suffering from a nasty case of food poisoning, so we were just as happy to take it easy.

On Saturday morning, Orli and I went to watch Jeff kayak in the “Paddle for Parkinson’s” event on Padre Island. He was the first finisher! Yay Jeff!

This also gave us a chance to get Orli used to her new shades. She actually seems to like them.

On Saturday afternoon we all went over to Courtney and Jesse’s house for some pool time with Oliver. Orli actually didn’t hang in the pool for very long. She preferred being wrapped warmly in the towel on my lap. I didn’t mind.

Oliver also spent some time practicing his future surf moves on Jeff’s hand plane. It makes a perfect little bodyboard for an 8 month old.

We enjoyed the 3-day weekend, but the weather was fairly nasty on Monday. As a result we spent a lot of family time in the house. Jack enjoyed all the attention he got from the 3 of us on our lazy Monday.
