Olivia turned one month old on Sunday! Here are some pretty pics of my sweet Bright Eyes!

so sweet!

I cannot believe my baby is a month old. So much has happened in the last month. Olivia enjoyed her first major holiday- Christmas. She went to church for the first time. Spent the month enjoying her whole family. Olivia is called "baby" by Ruthie and Ruthie loves pointing out her nose, eyes, ears, mouth, head, fingers, toes, and tummy. It is so sweet how much Ruthie loves Olivia already! Olivia is having a hard time gaining her weight back. She was 8lbs 3 oz at one week, 8lbs 7 oz at 2 weeks, and 8 lbs 13 oz at 3 weeks. She was 9lbs and 4 oz at birth so we are hoping tomorrow she will have moved back up to or past her birth weight at her one month appointment! Olivia wants to eat a lot during the day, but sleeps for 4 to 6 hrs straight at night. It is heavenly! Olivia also is pretty content even though she really likes being held. She is still stuffy so we hope something can be done about that tomorrow at the dr.'s office. We just love our little Bright eyes/Livie/Olivia Loo! She is so wonderful and a great addition to our family! Can't imagine life without her now and I am so thankful for her place in our family! 

Christmas 2012

Christmas season this year was packed. Between you know giving birth and all, church stuff, and our family coming to town it was busy, busy, busy. Let's recap:

Thanksgiving Day: Kathy and Steve arrive to make sure they are here for Olivia's arrival- turns out we had to wait a week and a day until she came!

November 30th: Olivia arrives

December 15th: Youth Progressive Dinner

December 22nd: my Family came to town

December 23rd: We went to my sister's house in Kingsland

Christmas Eve: church service and dinner

Christmas Day: enjoyed a relaxed day of opening presents, breakfast burritos, and resting with our family of 4 and Nana and Papa Stout

December 30th: Nana and Papa (Kathy and Steve) went back to TN

December 31st: Matt and the youth rang in the New Year at the church and I stayed home with the girls. It was sad to not be with Matt for midnight, but I got a lot done and enjoyed spending time with my sweet babies!

January 1st: We did very little and rested!

Here are some pics in no particular order of our Christmas!
