She came up with that list all on her own I thought it was pretty adorable...For Thanksgiving we went to my aunt MaryJo's in Idaho and had such a fun thanksgiving. I am so thankful for so many things but most of all my amazing husband, beautiful daughters, and awesome family and friends!

Halloween

Gracie milking her dad......

Our cute miss Olivia!

Trick or treating...

We had such a fun Halloween with the ward trunk or treat and then our neighbors bon fire in the front driveway. We made some cute yummy treats but forgot to take pictures:(

Zoo

We put together a trip to the zoo with all the cousins one day and had so much fun! Gracie loves animals and Olivia loves being outside so it turned into a great day!

Six Months!

My little peanut is six months and she is more fun than ever! She is sitting by herself and still loves to eat EVERYTHING!! She is just a squishy happy little baby that is so fun to be around! She still doesnt like rolling over but she loves to sit up. She loves her sister and will giggle just at her walking in the door.

Stats

Weight 12 lbs 2 oz (she dropped below the chart)

Length 24 in long ( 15th percentile)

Head 16 in ( still below the charts)

She is just our little peanut and I am hoping when we get our boys they take after the Field side:)

5 Months

Here we are again another month gone by and as a mother i feel as though each milestone is slipping away and even though i love each new stage i am not quite ready for the old stage to be over yet! Things I LOVE about Olivia's new developing personality....She screams at me anytime she wants my attention. She loves to eat and get so excited when I'm feeding her. She will smile at anyone who will talk to her and her whole body spasms because she is so excited. As i kiss her she grabs onto my face and hair to pull me in closer and kisses me. I love watching her play with her sister and them laughing together. I love all of her sweet little baby noises and her perfect little baby features. I love each and every roll on her little legs and her soft perfect skin. I love her beautiful thick long eyelashes and could stare at her sleeping all day. I love that when i am not around her i want to be because she makes me so happy! I love that she loves her mommy but by the end of the day when her daddy gets home she wants only him and she will look back at me as he holds her and then barries her head into his shoulder and smiles. I love what Olivia adds to our family and the joy she brings to all of us. I love sitting in the living room giggling and playing together. It is those moments that make all those temper tantrums and tough days as a mother worth it! Developmentally Olivia is rolling over and is starting to master sitting up by herself. We dont dare leave her alone yet but she can sit for long periods of time all by herself. I am looking forward to seeing my girls grow and continue to develop.

Nursery!

Olivia is officially in her nursery and out of her bassinet! When she started sleeping through the night we started having her sleep in her room which is such mixed emotions because your happy that you are actually sleeping again but sad that your baby is growing. Anyways here is some pictures of her nursery!

4 Months

Olivia turned 4 months on the 17th and she is growing more and more everyday.

Weight 11 lb 4 oz 5th percentile

Length 23 1/2 in 25th percentile

Head 15.2 inches Her head size is to small its not even on the charts

Olivia is honestly the most pleasant baby I could ever ask for. She sleeps 12 hours at night she takes two great naps during the day and always has a smile for everyone. She loves her tongue and sticks it out ALL the time it is so adorable. She has discovered her hands and plays with them all day. She will only sleep in her bed with her blankie over her face and gives you the biggest smile when you go to pick her up. She loves her sister Gracie and will always giggle when Gracie talks to her. She is very ticklish and has the cutest giggle you have ever heard. She doesn't ever cry but she has the cutest little wine to tell you when shes tired or hungry. She is getting stronger and can sit up with just a little assistance but still has no interest in rolling over. She is just growing much to fast but each month she gets more fun and interactive. She is such a great addition to our little family and I dont know what we did without her.

Wedding

Gracie was the flower girl...She was so adorable!!

Wow it's been a crazy month and i have not had time to update so I have some catching up to do...My sister got married Sept 10th and it was beautiful. They had there ceremony in my mom's backyard and then followed by a dinner and then a reception. Mike had the camera and it seems as if he forgot to get one of the bride or any decore so pictures to come:)

Bath Time!!

Gracie loves Olivia to take a bath with her!! They are getting to be so cute together Gracie gets Olivia giggling!

3 Months

I tried flipping these but it doesnt transfer to the blog so sorry:(

My little miss Olivia Jane turned three months yesterday and it was mixed emotions. Happy because I am loving her new stage....She is so smiling and she will just sit and talk to you it is so adorable. Sad....because she is getting so big already there are still a few newborn outfits she wears but is officially in zero to three months outfits. Relieved....because I am always soooo paranoid about SIDS and the older she is getting the better I start to feel! Blest....because I have to beautiful daughters that I love so much my heart hurts when i think about them and I cant wait till I can be a stay at home mom to them and not have to go to school! Grateful...Because my sweet little Gracie loves her sister so much and as we drive somewhere she literally sits and giggles while playing with Olivia and it melts my heart as a mother to see them as such good friends. It took a journey for us to get our new sweet little spirit here and I was really worried about Gracie's age and all of us adapting to a new baby but it has been perfect I think we all wanted her so badly that all of us appriciate every little thing about our lives. Mike adores Olivia he has just bonded so well with her and when he gets home from work he takes over, changing bums, bathing, stories with the girls... I just couldnt ask for a better dad to my little angels!
