Olivia: Six Months Old

Olivia Ann,

     Happy Half Birthday my beautiful girl. I cannot believe you are S I X months old today! You are growing so fast, yet are still tiny. When we took you to the doctors last week, you weighed 14 lbs 6 oz {23%} and were 63.5 cm long {29%}. You are also a little mini-me! You have my hair, my eyes, my cheeks, and my light complexion. I don't know where you get your sassy attitude from, but surely it isn't from me. ;) These last six months have been an adjustment, especially for your brother, but I wouldn't have traded them for anything. We love you SOOOO much Livie!

XOXO,

Mommy

Olivia Got Her Ears Pierced

     On Monday morning, this beautiful girl got her ears pierced! I knew we were going to do it while she was still a baby, the only question was, when? I was waiting to find out what the pediatrician told me about her head before we went through with it. I didn't want for them to bother her if she had to wear a helmet. At her appointment last week, the pediatrician told us he was confident her head would round out on its own now that she's sitting, so no helmet should be needed. That was just the answer we were hoping for, and the go ahead to get her ears pierced. 

Valentine's Day

    Yesterday was such a wonderful day! It was full of love, chocolate, and great news from the doctor about Olivia. Aaron's morning started at 2 when he had to wake up for a 12 mile ruck {poor guy}. The kids and I slept in until around 7:30. I surprised Connor with a special breakfast, a basket of Valentine gifts, and balloons. 

DIY Valentine's

    If you know anything about me, you know that I love doing crafts with Connor {and one of these days Olivia}. Valentine's is one of those days! Last year I made these homemade Valentine's for Connor to hand out at school. They were a hit, so I knew we needed to make something equally cute this year. I searched Pinterest with him and he decided on insect ones. The website to download the template from wasn't working, so I made them myself and they came out perfect.

Sunday Funday

    Well, today was more like Sunday LAZYday. We spent this Super Bowl Sunday relaxing at home! The kids actually slept in for us, so we didn't wake up until about 8:15. That's late for us because they are usually up by 7:30. We made a late breakfast and ate outside as Connor requested because it felt amazing on our patio with the sun shining on us.

 Post diaper change feet obsessing. Livie spent all day in her jammies.
