4 months old

Olivia is 4 months old already!  It's been amazing to see her grow right before our eyes.  She is doing great with her hearing aids and continues speech therapy every Tuesday.  Last Tuesday she also started sign language- well it's more for me and Nick to learn so we can practice and teach her.  They say by 6-9 months she will probably start signing a few words like milk and more :)  I am really excited to learn sign language and so is the whole family!  They say it is just repetition, repetition, repetition! 

Olivia is getting stronger everyday.  She is really holding her self up and I think will be sitting on her own pretty soon.  She also is getting closer to rolling over, she really twists her body now from side to side.  Belly time is much more fun now for Olivia, she is starting to hold herself up with her arms and if you get down on the floor with her she will smile and play for a little while. 







Olivia talking away :)


She has started to giggle a little bit too, which is the cuttest thing ever :) The first time was with Barley, Jeff & Carrie's pomeranian~ she just giggled when she saw him running around the house!! Now she is getting ticklish like her dad, so if you tickle her underarms she starts to giggle :) It melts my heart!! I will try and capture the giggle on video to post soon!



Grandmama & Grandpapa

Rich & Christina came over today to love on Olivia :)  She was a perfect angel of course!  Olivia loves spending time with her grandparents!  She is a lucky little bear as Christina would say :) We are going to miss them when they officially move back to Ohio for good :(  But we are planning a trip to visit them in the fall!



Photo shoot :)

Thank you Cinda for this beautiful vintage dress from Paris :)  I love love love the dress!  I had lots of fun in the back yard playing dress up with my little doll and taking lots of pictures of her! I think I got a little carried away :)

Welcome to the family Mikenzie :)

Olivia has a new baby cousin.  Mikenzie was born on July 27th.  The girls are only 15 weeks apart, so we are looking forward to watching them grow up together!





16 weeks old :)

Olivia is 16 weeks old!  She is doing great with her hearing aids and continues her therapy once a week!  She is sitting up with a little help from her bumbo chair, she loves bouncing in her Jenny jump up and is enjoying belly time too!!
