Olivia: Seven Months Old

My Beautiful Olivia,

      Happy SEVEN months my sweet girl. You have reached so many milestones this past month and are growing so fast! You still haven't had your six month check-up because the doctors office was booked, but you will go next Friday and we will find out all of your stats. I think you have surely put on some weight and *fingers crossed* your head is still growing at a normal rate. You are such a happy baby, especially in the morning, or anytime we are out and you are being carried by me. People see you and can't help but tell me how beautiful your hair and eyes are. They are right though, you are a beauty! I love you so much, and can't wait to see what new things you are going to learn this month.  

XOXO,

Mama

Mommy/Daughter Time

   While my best friend Kelsey stayed with us over the weekend, she told me she wanted to snap a few pics of Olivia and me in her nursery. Of course I was all about it, so as I was getting her dressed on Sunday she did just that. Here are some of my faves:

 That smile!

Spring Break

      Sadly spring break has already come and gone! That means we are getting closer to Aaron having to leave us for a while, which I am seriously dreading. The only positive is we are getting closer to summer and that means Connor will be out of school and we can travel around Texas to see family and make the time go by even quicker. 

     Our spring break was spent mostly at home, with a quick weekend trip to San Antonio. Here's what we did...

March 9, 2018:

     As soon as Connor got off school at 3:15, we drove to San Antonio for the weekend. We arrived just in time to eat dinner with with my parents at a restaurant near their house. After dinner and showers, Connor and my mom dyed Easter eggs. They had plans to fill them with confetti the next day {so we could take them to my sisters for Easter} and needed for them to dry overnight.

Someone's ready for spring break!

A Day At The Rodeo

    Last Wednesday {2/28}, we went with Aaron's work to Houston for a day trip to the rodeo. We had a wonderful time, except for all the waiting we had to do. In the Army, you hear the phrase "hurry up and wait" all the time, and that's exactly what we did! I was so frustrated. They asked for us to be there at 6 am, so we were. It was still dark, really foggy to where the air was really cold and wet and so was the ground, and there was nowhere to sit. We waited for THREE hours for the buses to show up. Thankfully Olivia slept half the time, but Connor was wired and so muddy by the time we got on the bus. We all slept part of the three hour drive to Houston. Olivia took two naps, and when we woke up after the second one we were in the middle of Houston being escorted by police to the rodeo location. We were so thankful for them because they got us through the Houston traffic without a problem.

The buses finally arrived and this girl fell right to sleep. 

Our Morning

   I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love slow mornings with my babies. Today was one of those days and I love that I am able to stay home with them. I always have my camera within reach to take pictures, and this morning I got some really cute ones of the kids that I have to share.

It's just a little kiss brother.
