I think Olivia has such long legs and arms. Maybe she will be tall like her Daddy.
There is just something that totally makes me smile and melt when I see a man with his little girl, especially when it's my husband and our daughters.

Sweet Moment

Jay: "I'm glad we had a girl. Ali will always be my best friend, but Noah is my best buddy." (I love it! I just hope it is something that can last their whole lives. I love my boys!)

Ice Cream!

A few nights ago we had ice cream cones for dessert. The kids loved them and it was quite entertaining how messy Noah was by the time he was done. Let me just say that the Mint Moose Tracks from Safeway is delicious!
What a cute sleeper with cute toes.
All comfy folded in half. Maybe that's how she was in my belly.
She looks like she is thinking hard about something while she sleeps.
Bath time is getting better. We can get through almost a whole bath without crying now.
Look at those cute kissable cheeks. Love it!
Holding onto Mommy. Those tiny hands are so sweet.

Some Darn Cute Kids

I never could have imagined how much more crazy, demanding, and challenging adding a third child to the mix would be. It certainly has taken some adjustment and I have most definitely had my "moments". The one thing I know for sure though is that it is worth it. I love being a mommy. I love and am so grateful being a stay at home mom. I have great kids and I am learning every day what it takes to become a better person and a better mom. I love my life and I love my kids!

Uncle Donnie and Aunt Amy

It's awesome to have so much family around to share in the excitement of our new baby. I feel so blessed to get to be around so much of my family.

First Baths

My other kids loved having baths and poor little Olivia is not the biggest fan. She did OK with her spit baths but once I could put her in the tub she was not OK. Her first bath in the tub was spent screaming and freaking out. One of Olivia's trademark things is holding her breath for a long time when she is really upset. She holds it for a long time too, she starts to turn purple sometimes. Her first bath she did the whole freaking out holding her breath thing like 3 times. Poor baby. She just didn't like it. I bought a little foam thing to lay her in for bath time now and she does a bit better. I think she will like baths as time goes on. She really just doesn't like being naked though.
Perfectly content, safe in Mommy's arms.
So tiny. Could you cover yourself with a washcloth?!
Doing her best to soothe herself with her fingers. She really did try part of the time to be OK.
