Isn't She Darling??

This is a picture of Olivia after church on Sunday. Don't let this look fool you. She wasn't so darling in the nursery. We were in service for all of about 20 minutes before we were paged to come get this little stinker. I have tried and tried to figure out the exact cause for these screaming and crying outbursts but I cannot figure it out. One Sunday she will be fine (like last week) and this week she was terrible. I have faith it will get much better and she will grow to love church and the nursery. We'll give it a go again next Sunday. :)

Our Growing Girl

After a good afternoon nap.

Who gave the pretty girl a mohawk?

She LOVES reading her books.

At the doctor's office. Poor baby had to get 2 shots.

Yesterday we went to the doctor for Olivia's 6 month check up. The story is much the same as previous check ups. She is going to be one petite little girl. As the doctor said, "she did come into the world this way". She weighs 13 pounds and 7 ounces which is less than the 5th percentile! Although, she is in the 30th percentile for length. She is healthy and developing perfectly. What more could we ask for?

Olivia is now eating 3 meals a day, which consist of cereal, fruits and veggies (I know we are all jealous of the food she's getting these days). She has tried two fruits and 2 vegetables and has grown to love all of them. She is actually favoring the baby food that we make at home which is a total score for us. Healthy and easy on the budget.

On a side note, I am on my 13th day of the 30 day shred. I am staying committed although it is very tough. I think I underestimated Jillian's abilties for a 20 minute workout.

Our Little Growling Lion

Our Super Hero Turns 5!

Kai turned 5 today and is officially a big boy! Everyone had fun at his super hero party on Saturday. It was so hot outside that day so I'm sure the kids appreciated the blow up slippin' slide. Although the birthday boy got slightly upset when a little girl blew his candles out before he got a chance (can you blame the kid??). Other than the candle mishap, the day was filled with cake, ice cream and LOTS of super hero toys.

Seems like yesterday when Kai was born. Being 10 weeks early, he only weighed a tad over 2 pounds. He was so fragile and delicate but now is all boy and full of energy and life. Life would be slightly boring without him around. We love you, Kai!

Just Pics Of The Girl

Reading a book. Starting just a tad early. She might be an overachiever.

Those are some beautiful blue eyes.

Olivia and her best bud.

Learned a new trick at Nano's house this weekend. I promise she had just eaten dinner. :)

Update

Amie is now home from the hospital. They were able to stop the contractions with use of medications that she will now be on for the remainder of the pregnancy. She will also be on strict bedrest until 32 weeks. Our family appreciates all of your thoughts and prayers and asks for continued prayers for a healthy pregnancy the remainder of the time. God is so good!

Prayer Warriors Are Being Called

This morning around 1am Amie (my sister) was checked into the hospital for contractions that were 3 minutes apart. She is 28 weeks pregnant and has a history of delivering babies early (she delivered Kai at 30 weeks). As of now, they have stopped the contractions with medication. She is awaiting a high risk doctor to come in to see her. She will be on bedrest for the remainer of the pregnancy. Please keep her in your prayers. Please pray for the health of mommy and the little life inside of her. Pray that the doctors will be able to keep her from delivering too early. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Prayer, as we all have seen before, can move mountains.
