Olivia's first Thanksgiving!

We made the first of many hand turkeys!

Happy Halloween!

Olivia had a blast dressing up for Halloween and visiting family!

Enjoying Fall

Picking out the perfect pumpkin and a couple of photo shoots:

Baby face!

Olivia has the best expressions! We love watching her and her many funny faces. Here are a few that I love to share!

This has infamously been named the roller coaster picture:

Whoa daddy you need to shave!

Olivia 3 months

Mommy lets me sleep on the couch :)


I like to read!!


Olivia and Daddy watching TV..


Sitting up like a big girl!

First Beach Trip!

Before I went back to work, we took a trip to Oak Island with my family. Olivia, as always, loved being outside. Being on the beach was a bit windy for her but wrapped up in a towel, she fell asleep!

The ride there was long. This is her "are we there yet?" expression..






Our little beach bum!

Hug the bunny..

I love this face!

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin

We're getting pretty good at this rolling over deal!!

Good Times, Bad Times

Good times, bad times, you know we've had our share! As my maternity leave comes to a close, I find myself staring at this little girl. I don't want to forget anything that we have shared: the naps, the crying, the feedings, the smiles.. I could go on and on! But I know she is going to have a wonderful time and so will my parents! Oh and today she rolled over all by herself. I think tomorrow she will be applying for college :(




BIG stretch..

Mom please stop taking my picture!!

She sucks her thumb already. She has since she was 2 weeks old!

These are a few of my favorite things..

Having a staring contest..


Trying to eat her cupcake..


On the swing..she loves to look at things hanging in front of her.


Her boppy


I styled her a mowhawk. The thing is I only brushed her hair back once and it stayed like this..


Here she is taking a nap in her big bed for the first time. That night, she slept there instead of in the bassinet in our room. She's growing up too fast already!

I love baby feet!

4 weeks old!

I can't believe Miss Olivia is already 4 weeks old!! Mommy has been having fun snapping pictures of her though..


Miss Priss!

Sleepy head..

Olivia's first submersed bath: She liked being in the water..

But did not like getting out and drying off!

Daddy's girl

Chris has fallen head over heels for Olivia. No matter how much people tell you that a child will change things, you do not understand it until it happens to you.

The nurse styled her up with a mohawk :)
