My first Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving Day with the Kukoc and Dukan families.  Needless to say, we all ate too much.  So much that it prompted me to go work out next morning with Toni, and when I say work out, I mean WORK  OUT!!!  My arms were hurting so much that I could hardly hold Olivia for more than a couple of minutes.

U cetvrtak je bija Dan Zahvalnosti, i proveli smo ga sa Kukocima i Dukanima.  Najili smo se tuke i ostalih delicija, toliko da sam sljedece jutro isa sa Tonijem u teretanu izgubit koji gram.  Satra me, jos me bole ruke!!!

We did not take any pictures of Olivia on Thanksgiving Day so here are a couple of pics from this weekend.

Ready to roll over


Last week, Olivia went to the pediatrician, and she is now 16lbs!  We also started her on rice cereal. 

Here she is playing with Stela's birthday balloon. 









She has been spending a lot of time on her tummy, and she is getting much stronger.
She is almost ready to roll over.











It is fun to see her doing new things.

Go Bears!!!!

Winter is here and we are in the middle of the football season.  In one of the previous posts, we showed you who Olivia is supporting when it comes to soccer. Today,  she reveals her football team.

Stigla je zima i football sezona je u punom jeku.  U jednom od prethodnih postova otkrili smo njenu pripadnost Hajduku, danas je deklariramo navijacem Chicago Bearsa.

When it's cold, you need to have a hat on.  Mommy would never put this on her own head, but it looks sooo cute on me.

Kad je zima treba imat kapu na glavi.  Mama nikad ovo ne bi stavila sebi na glavu, ali na meni izleda smisno.





Baby Bear fan!

My 1st Halloween

Olivia dressed up as a teddy bear for her first Halloween.  We all went to McCaren Street in Highland Park.  Traditionally, this is where the party is in HP on Halloween night.  My mom could not get over the fact that kids were throwing shaving cream all over each other and that the streets were half covered in it.  Overall, a new experience for her and Olivia.

Olivia se obukla u malu medvjedicu za Noc Vjestica.  Svi skupa smo oltisli u McCaren ulicu, di je tradicionalno najbolja atmosfera u Highland Parku na Noc Vjestica.  Zina nije mogla virovat kako dica mazu jedni druge sa pjenom za brijanje.  Uglavnom, novo iskustvo za majcicu.





































After Trick or Treating, we stopped by Toni and Renata's house.
Olivia and Toni are speaking Croatian to each other.

Sunday was another beautiful day so we went for a long walk. 
Here is a taste of fall in Chicago.
