Week 6

Here is Miss Olivia's latest photo shoot, she's wearing a darling pink jumper, so soft and cuddly! She and Miss Bunny below are great friends! Oh the things we do to get a good photo or a smile! This is her typical face in the 8-10am morning hour! I manage to get a bit of work done on the computer- while she kicks and punches, smiles and grunts! She has really began smiling and is aware when you talk to her as you can see in the photos below.

Mike and I are enjoying each and every moment of this new chapter in our lives, Mike amazes me with his patience, lately he is giving me a lesson in patience, who would have ever thought that...? I am working on learning to balance motherhood, work and my time, it is a challenge, but I know it can be achieved! That's it for now. xoxo

Three Weeks

Well the three week mark has come and gone. The past weeks have been filled with lots of smiles and lots of lovingly exchanges of eyes between Mike and myself. We are pinching ourselves that we "won the lotto" with such a happy baby! We feel very fortunate! Here is a photo of Olivia's room, decor compliments of our friend Burly, (he painted the canvases on the wall behind Mike.) The other photo is Mike- early morning feeding, complete with sleepy eyes and hairdo! I am working on getting some nice photos of the narrator... me! I'll keep you posted when that happens!

Olivia's Visitors... lots of love!

So we have had some visitors in the last week!

Olivia: Week One

Welcome to the world little miss Olivia Camille! Born October 19, 2008, 2:50 pm, at Sierra Vista Hospital. What an amazing week it has been since you entered our lives! Your papa has all the sudden stopped watching television and started staring into your eyes, he doesn't want to miss any of your smiles, winces and grunts. Myself- not much of a morning person, now seem to enjoy the wee hours of the morning we are spending together- chatting, eating, and exchanging smiles in the dark!
