Olivia's First Summer



As Olivia's first summer comes to a close I was trying to remember all the fun things that she was able to do, and she was a very busy girl.

Too bad they don't give frequent flyer miles to babies, . . . Olivia traveled to Arizona, California, Nevada and Kansas City this summer. I guess she would be pretty close to enough miles for a free ticket with all her travels.In California, she saw her little friends Avie, Jordan, Logan, Emmy and Nate. She even got to meet her friends Benjamin and Austin from the bay area. Olivia celebrated several "1st's" this summer, namely: she went to her first wedding (she was adorable in her cute little dress) and got to go swimming for the first time in Grandma and Grandpa Lee's pool.

On our trip to Arizona Brad spent a lot of his time taking the Arizona State Bar while Olivia and I were able to party with friends and family all week! Olivia loved to play with all her cousins and Grandma and Grandpa Sellers. She especially loves the baby that Grandma Sellers bought for her.

She then got to visit her great grandparents in Las Vegas and see Grandma and Grandpa Lee again. While busy traveling she also learned to army crawl, expand her love of solid foods, go to the ER (again), and loved tanning while trying all the new water slides that we found on our many trips.

I hope that she had a blast . . .because it was fun for me to watch her experience all the fun this summer. I can't wait until next summer so she can have have a whole new set of "1st's" (i.e. ice cream and walk on the beach....)

We have had many people say that Olivia looks like Dylan when she was little. I must say she looks quite a bit like my girls. Lucky girl! We miss seeing you. Hope all is well.

Hey wouldn't you know it...pregnant at the same time. Logan couldn't wait any longer..he had enough and came at 33.5 weeks weighing 4 lbs. 12.5oz. So Olivia came at 36 weeks, she was a small peanut. Did she have to stay in the NICU as well? Logan stayed almost 3 weeks...right during Christmas.
