Merry Christmas

Started to feel bad that we didn't have a Christmas Card this year so I quickly whipped this up this afternoon. I hope you don't mind my procrastination :) Hope your Holidays are Merry and Bright.

Hello Fall

We had the best day today watching your excitement as you experienced Fall for the first time. You loved looking at the bright colored leaves as they fell from the trees. The reds, oranges and yellows just captivated you as you watched the trees shiver when the wind blew. Oh my Olivia girl I hope you will continue to always be in awe of the beauty around you and the wonderful world Heavenly Father created for you.

Today i looked at you and you were bigger your newbornness is starting to fade away and you are growing every day. You are starting to stay awake a lot longer and you are interacting so much more, smiling and talking all the time. Tonight I listened to you talk to your self forever. I just wanted to hear the sweet sounds you could make. I just love your little ooohs and aaaahs. Your little legs are getting stronger and looking thicker. Your head and neck are so much stronger. As you laid against my chest you kept lifting up your head to look around. Your face looks older to me your cheeks are so full and your eyes are getting bigger. You now start to look at me more while you are eating. You look up at me and stare into my eyes with the sweetest most innocent most loving look I will ever know. As I looked down at your little body I noticed that your feet are now longer than the Boppy and your growing taller. Your little feet no longer curl up against my chest but Streatch out so long. I'm afraid I will blink and you'll have grown again, only this time I won't have captured it in my mind. I must do that, I must remember and relish in the moment, every moment because I already want them back. I can't believe it's been 12 weeks already I am so completely in love with you. You are the most precious thing I have ever seen my sweet little Olivia girl.

Sweet Baby Girl

Life doesn't get any sweeter than this...

At First Glance

Sweet Baby girls from the moment I saw you it was love at first sight. I remember thinking is it really possible to love some one so much. I still can't believe you are finally here and that you are all ours. The moment they handed you to me my heart melted as I looked into your eyes. Your face is so sweet and you are perfect in every way. When they placed you in my arms I thought...you are here, I have seen your face. I am totally and completely in love with you and will never be able to live without you. You are my gift from Heavenly Father, what a blessing you are.

Oh my Loves...

Every day is a new day. Every day is a new adventure learning and growing together. Just to see how much you have changed over the past 11 days is amazing. You are growing up so fast I hope that I can drink it all in because these moments will be gone before I know it. These sweet moments after you eat and are so content and happy. Your little milk man face, and when you raise your arms up to your sweet cheeks and smile then stick out your little tongue just a tiny bit to show how satisfied you are. Then you snuggle against my chest listening to my heart beat you softly falls asleep.

Oh those are the moments or when you look at me and smile as daddy and are laying together on the bed as a family. And then you open your little hand and grab a hold of my finger. As if to say thank you for being here and making me feel safe. These are the moments I want to remember and never forget.
