I Rolled Over Today!!!

Today Olivia rolled from her back to her stomach. She has been rolling to her side quite a bit and usually sleeps on her side. I really thought it would be quite some time before she actually rolled all the way over. I think she surprised herself when she ended up on her belly. The smallest things make this mommy so proud.

Happy Memorial Day!

Beach Babe

We went to the beach for a few days this week before Memorial Day. We had a great time and wish we could have stayed longer. Olivia did great on both car rides and even let her mommy and daddy catch a few rays on their awfully white bodies.

First time her feet have ever been in sand or the ocean

4 Months

Okay, so I have come to the realization that time is going to go by quickly no matter what. This month, like the last, went no slower. I was hoping it would just drag by but that didn't happen. The other day in church I started tearing up when all the kids went down for children's church (maybe it's hormones) knowing that before we are ready our little Olivia will be one of those children. So from now on I am going to make the resolution to savor every moment and enjoy this time in our lives even if it does happen way too fast for me.

Little Miss Olivia is 4 months old now. She is such a good baby (other than the few screaming fits we have had at bed time) and such a joy. We could not imagine life without her. She has started making many different noises such as growling (what she was doing at the preacher as he baptized her), cooing at her toys and laughing every once in a while. She has started sucking on her fingers ALL the time (the grandmothers seem to think she is teething) and her hair has grown really long in the middle to make her look like she has a mo hawk. She has continued to sleep through thee night and is attached to her ninny (what we call her paci). She LOVES her swing and to read books. She has grown so much in such a short period of time and we are excited to see how much she grows and develops in this next month.

Baptism Post Con't

This was another picture that was accidentally left off the baptism post. I could not be more thankful for such caring and loving family that came from Memphis to join us for Olivia's big day. All of these people are so dear to my heart and will play big roles in helping us raise Olivia. Thank you to you all for making the trip.
