Documenting the life and times of the Flores-Fore family!
The Summer was spent going to the beach, having weekly breakfasts with friends, and lots of new experiences like brushing her own teeth, trying Oreos and feeding herself with fierce independence.
She'll definitely be a bookworm like her parents Oreos! Happy 4th of July from the whole motley crew! During the summer we had these great weekly girls (and babies for those who have them) brunches at rotating houses. Olivia can often be found trying to snatch toys from Massimo.Cathy and Mariana Tiffany, Laura and Yasmina Laura, Lily and Faulkner Damarys and Gabriel trying out the new swing set Chris and Massimo Tooth brushing! Our little lady Feeding herself also includes having a foot up on the tray--non-negociable. Elmo the great hypnotist Flying kites with friends David, Laura, Lily and Faulkner
On June 6th, 2007 Olivia Calliope Flores turned 1 year old! We went crazy and bought a zillion toys that she showed little interest in until now and threw a birthday bash at the beach with family and friends. Instead of a big cake we made her miniature coconut cupcakes with cherries on top. She celebrated the day with an Elmo video, playing in the sprinkler outside and having her first bubble bath. She loved opening gifts--I think more for the fun of tearing paper and wearing ribbons than for seeing what was inside.
