Olivia :: 4 and 5

FOUR MONTHS:
Not a fan of tummy time
Finding her voice and enjoys hearing herself make noises
Responds to her name
Smiles and coos when you say "I love you"
Beginning to grab at toys

STATS:
11 lbs 7.5 oz (for the win of littlest baby at 4 months that we've had!)
23.75 inches long

I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking :)


I came home from being out and she had been giving daddy fits, finally falling asleep on him. Cutest thing ever!



still wanted to be swaddled, but began getting out of the swaddle. We were able to have her not swaddled at bedtime during month four. And when she gets enough rest, yes she does wake up like this!


first father's day with Olivia in the bunch and all smiles!

she could sit like this if we propped her against the arm of the couch and apparently happy about it!

big brother there to help calm her down


FIVE MONTHS:
Finally enjoying tummy time
Beginning stages of sitting up on her own
drools like crazy and still gnaws on her hands
Loves to hear mommy (and Karis) sing to her
Holding, shaking and sucking on toys
Loves smiling and has the cutest giggle
Eats pretty much on demand, but starting to get in a pattern for naps

Karis loves posing with Olivia when I pull the camera out to snap some pics
she is not short on kisses and lovin from her big brother and sister!

tootsies!
loving those fingers



she joined us at the table for meals (although she hasn't started eating solids yet) she enjoys being at the table watching us all eat and enjoys the entertainment from her brother and sister!

Adding to the Family!

Sitting down to write this blog post has been a long time coming (well at least 20 weeks or so!) But we are excited to announce that we are expecting our fourth child! Below, you will see some pictures highlighting parts of this pregnancy so far and also I talk about the name we have chosen for our little guy. Enjoy! I'm starting with this picture, because this little guy (left) pictured here with our son Isaac, I like to say is the reason we are having another baby, haha! Isaac has been smitten with this little one since he first held him as a baby two years ago and he began praying we would have another baby, specifically a boy! It's such a neat part of this story to me and I'm so thankful for our son's heart ( and friends who have cute kiddos!) This was taken right after we told the kids I was pregnant. We bought them a book titled "New Baby" and it took a while for them to clue in, because we have several friends that are currently pregnant...

Dear Grandma...

Image
Today is my grandmother's birthday. This is a big deal. Today she celebrates 93 full and amazing years here on earth. My grandma is a special lady (more on that in a minute) and the only grandparent I ever knew (long story for another time). I often think it's amazing that my kids get to know all four of their grandparents, and we cherish the moments when we are all together. The past couple of years have been a bit up and down for my grandma in regard to her health and honestly I hate being across the world during this time and also a bit envious when my brothers and cousins get to visit her when they are able (so all y'all give her a hug when you see her next for me!) It's never easy being apart from family, but especially when one is ill. So I write, because it's what I can do...no she's not going to be on Facebook reading the link to our blog, but I know my mom will gladly call her and read this to her. So grandma, here is my birthday present to you! Dea...

Surprise Arrival!

Image
This is a long post. But many of you have asked about the story of Milo's arrival. So I wanted to take time to write it out, details and all. But  for those who don't want to read the entire story with all the details, feel free to scroll through and just look at the pictures! A lot of you were shocked to hear of his arrival...so were we! (After all, we were still 25 days out from his due date when he made his appearance). I had just gone to my 36 week checkup two days prior, all was healthy and well with baby and with me and there were no signs of early labor. At that appointment, the doctor said that I was 1 cm dilated, but honesty I knew I could be at that for several weeks before seeing any progress to labor. I had a long list of nesting projects I had been slowly working on and was hoping to finish before Milo’s arrival.  Thursday morning rolled around, I realized I was beginning to show signs of possible labor nearing, but still wasn’t too alarmed just yet, after all...
