Olivia's New Crib

Last month we upgraded

Olivia from her pack 'n' play to 

a real crib

The transition was a piece of cake

She is such a great sleeper!

I think she really enjoys the

extra space

Most nights we find her on her stomach 

in a completely different space from

where she started 

Her nursery, for the most part, is all done

There are sill a few little things 

I have left to do

but here are the pictures of

Olivia's New Crib

(I really think this should be an Ian Falconer title) 

I really can't believe she was

 four months in these

pictures. She has grown up so fast!

The Keeping Quilt

Last weekend I make a quilt for Olivia. 

I have been wanting to make one since we found out we were having her.

 Life got busy and I never did it. Life is still busy, that's never going to change, so I just did it. 

It's not perfect but I think it turned out great. Plus, I really think Olivia likes it.

Also, I made a burp cloth!!!

and painted her toes

i love those little feet

At 5 Months

Olivia loves to..........

give big gummy smiles

giggle

give fake coughs 

roll over and over and over and over

pull her hair and everyone else's hair

bathe

 (she still loves shower but now we can give her a bath without ear shattering screams)

wiggle her little body

grunt and growl

sleep in her new crib

read books 

and chew on those books

have her parents close

(she is a snuggle bug)

visit her mommy's classroom for lunch

It has been a hard transition going to work everyday and 

leaving this little girl, especially since

she is still sleeping when I leave

but I am so grateful that she gets to be home with

her daddy and that he takes such good

care of her. She is one happy 

little girl. She always knows how to bring

a smile to our faces. She is such a joy

and I feel so grateful I am her mother.

Life would be incomplete without her.

We love you, Olivia.
