2 Month Update

I can't believe my little pumpkin head is already 2 months old! It is really amazing how fast this is going compared to how slowly the weeks went when I was pregnant.

Anyway.... here is our 2 month update!

Olivia is really smiling now! Before we really had to work at getting her to smile and now she is doing it all the time.  She is especially smiley in the mornings!

She LOVES sitting up and being upright.  She has been hanging out in her Bumbo and is improving significantly.  It is crazy how just a week ago she was still pretty wobbly and now she is much better!

She rolled over for the first time a couple days ago! From her tummy to her back - and she did it twice.  I was on the floor looking through the camera viewfinder and all of a sudden there she goes! I was so surprised that I didn't even take a picture.  I set her back up on her stomach and she did it again (this time I got the action shots!).

I packed up some of the clothes she no longer fits into (sad).  I have a huge tub that I have been putting clothes into and it is about half way full now.  But in other news I organized her drawers and clothes so she is all set for fall!

We are working on getting a schedule down so we aren't so crazy when we go to daycare.  So far it has been going pretty well.

Other than that she has been sleeping great - she goes 4-5 hour chunks at night so I am only waking up with her once.  She rarely cries.  She loves her Mommy and Daddy and we love her!

Seriously.... being a mommy is the best thing in the world.

Present for Daddy

It was Olivia's Daddy's birthday this last week! She was so excited!

She wanted to make him something personal.  So she found a baseball with a plastic case and put her tiny hand print in the middle. 

It turned out great and her dad loved it!

DIY Dino Hoodie

It was my cute nephews 1st birthday last month and his favorite Auntie (Me!) wanted to make him something cool....
Off to Pinterest I went and saw this super cute Dino Hoodie (I don't have a specific link as there are many)

I picked up the supplies at Wal-Mart because they have felt and the Target in my town does not.  I found a cute little hooded sweatshirt and a couple squares of orange felt.

All the tutorials I found are all the same.  I used some interfacing in the 'spine' to give it a little more substance.  I also added a T to the front (T for Teagan).  He loved it!

Sorry about the pictures.... chasing around a one year old trying to get good pictures is harder than it looks!

Time gets away...

I love being home with Olivia....it is amazing getting to see her grow, seeing her wide open mouth smiles, baby snuggles, naps on my chest - I love everything about it!

Holy cow is it easy to lose track of time! Last week I lost track of my days and completely missed a meeting that I was supposed to be at! Kind of embarrassing but what can you do when you are too engrossed with your adorable baby girl!

I mean - wouldn't you want to spend ALL your time with this?

It is going to be super tough to leave this little girl when I have to go back to work!

Never Forget....

My heart is heavy with the thought of all the people lost on 9/11. 

Remember the cost of hate and spread LOVE always.

Thoughts and prayers.

One Month Update

My baby girl is one month old already...

 

And she fits into the outfit I made her when I was pregnant.  See tutorial here.  I must say - it is much cuter on!

She has gained just over 2 pounds since birth and has grown sooo much.  She is definitely filling out and is getting some adorable baby rolls (Micheline Arms!). She is just starting to take an interest in toys (rattle) when I shake them for her.  She has been sleeping in her own room since 2 weeks old and sleeping fabulously.  She is losing some hair - mostly on the top of her head so we will see if she loses it all or not. 

Now for some more pictures!

   
Just love her!

This is going too fast...

I can't believe that my little girl is already four weeks old!
It is so crazy that I can see her growing in front of my eyes.  Babies really do change SOOO much!

She is 4 weeks old and weighs 10 pounds even.
We are starting to see more intentional smiles.
She sleeps 4-5 hour chunks at night (yay!)
She loves her mommy and daddy.
She is already outgrowing some clothes (some she hasn't even worn yet).
I love her more than I can even describe... she has made my heart whole!
