This past Saturday we had a party to celebrate Kyle's confirmation. He missed his actual confirmation service while we were in China but was confirmed on Father's Day. To spread out the work and expense we waited until August 4th to have a party for him. Both sides of our families came, along with friends and neighbors. It rained on and off from beginning to end but no one complained since we really need the rain. The tent we borrowed from Grandpa and Grandma Manning gave us plenty of protected space for everyone to sit, eat, drink and enjoy themselves. Olivia got a good nap in before everyone got here so she was happy and ready to go. She worked the crowd all afternoon and had a great time. She spent her time walking around in her walker socializing, dancing on Grandma's lap and eventually talking Aunt Lynn into helping her sneak some confirmation cake! I'd say she has everyone wrapped right around her finger.
Olivia is now going from laying down to sitting up with no problem. Before the confirmation party started, when I went in to get her from her nap she was sitting up in bed for the first time! It looked funny to me to see her in there like that. Pretty soon she will learn to pull herself up to stand and take off walking. More of her personality comes out everyday and she can be so funny and she loves to do whatever she can to make everyone laugh.
