Easter 2018

    We had such a wonderful Easter with family and friends. We spent it in Corpus Christi at our family friends house this year because we were helping my sister move into her new house over the weekend. We had so much fun vising with everyone and celebrating Jesus's resurrection from the dead.

My beautiful babies!

Olivia: {Late} Six Month Check-Up / Connor: Five Year Check-Up

    Today Connor and Olivia both had their check up. Olivia was supposed to have it when she turned six months, but the pediatrician clinic was booked so she is getting it when she is seven months + one week old. Connor got off easy and didn't have to get any shots, however Olivia had to get two. Poor baby girl hated them!

    Olivia went first. She weighs 15 pounds and 7 ounces {19%}, is 26 inches long {27%}, and her head is 41.4 cm {9% it's growing!}. She is such a tiny thing compared her her big brother. The doctor noticed that her left eye was moving a little slower than her right, so she put in a referral to the optometrist so she can get it checked out. She said it could be nothing, but just wanted to be on the safe side and have it examined by a specialist. The other concern was one that I had. Olivia had been waking up a ton during the night and nursing frequently, so I wanted advice on what to do. The doctor told me what I already knew, that Olivia didn't know how to self soothe herself and relied on me to calm her. She suggested we make her sleep in her crib, and stop co-sleeping because it was just going to get harder as she got older. Aaron was happy with that suggestion, me... not so much.

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!
