Solids

Mmmm - Rice Cereal!




















K Mom - I'm done.

Photo Session!

Baby Laughs

Olivia started laughing! She laughed for Jason's Nana (her great grandma "Grammy" to her), and for Jen. Then she laughed at me when I made the sign for tree yesterday, and today she laughed a bit for Jason! She has also started "singing" in the car.
Now we are trying to ween off of the pacifier... a habit of three months are easier to break than those of a couple of years!

The sad faces of Olivia

They tear at mommy's heart!

Tell me...

How do you spit up on the left side of your body but get it on the right side of your head?

Pictures!

Okay okay okay..... mommy is finally updating! First of all, Thank God for camera phones! We can't find our camera. Second of all, I have heard your cries - be prepared for photo-overload!
Olivia is growing so much! At her last appointment, she was 9 lbs 5 1/2 oz and 23 and a half inches long. She is still a super skinny girl - she must take after Daddy!
The biggest things to note: July 5th she smiled her first smile for my Aunt LeeAnn, last week she began crying and pausing to hear if I was coming.






















Olivia the thinker. Look at those lips!
























Daddy and the fuzzy Child, Frankie, who takes all the snuggle time he can get now.





















I'm secure, I have my blankie, and I have my pacifier - ah - I'm safe.





















Mommy is funny. (and mommy can't figure out how to get the underline to go away... and it may disappear when this is posted... darn blogger!)





















More of those precious lips!





















Daddy and Livie sleeping this morning.




















All wrapped up as snug as a bug in the pirate quilt from Jen!

























Doesn't she look like a bear or something?
























Morning play time.




















Big Smile!





















I'm Shy.




















Mom, Seriously, what is this thing?! I look... ADORABLE... ew.
























Peek-a-boo!

Firsts... and lasts...

Olivia's cries are already changing... she is about 7 weeks old now. Instead of the 'Ah-wah Ah-wah' cries, she has a hungry cry and an "I'm warning you" cry... she even has one that covers everything else. She has begun cooing now and she had her first smile on the 5th of July. She smiled for my aunt LeeAnn. My parents were here last week. We went to Ikea and my dad was carrying her. She was watching over his shoulder and saw my mom come up, and she lit up and started smiling at her. In the mornings we play kick mommy and climb mommy mountain. Then we watch out the window and practice standing and bouncing. She loves bouncing and today when I was bouncing her, she started trying to bounce herself - another first. Then we went and took a shower, and she made faces at me and we cooed back and fourth. Yesterday we played in the bath, and she practiced kicking in the water. She used to make this adorable, yet pitiful little face before she began to cry. She pulls her upper lip in and her lower one sticks out and she would make one "Wah" and then do it again. It was heart wrenching, but SO sweet too. She doesn't do it anymore really, and that makes me sad, because I never got a picture of it. She is growing SO fast!
