So, yes for all those that follow my love Olivia, she’ll be 4 in less than 2 weeks. Oh how time flies. I look at all the babies and newborns that come through my doors and remember back to those days. Unfortunately I was not the photographer that I am today and I do not have the yummy newborn pictures. I envy all of you that take the time to bring them in and capture those moments that yes, you do forget. I only remember weekly because of you all and for that I thank you. I remember just staring at her sleep in the hospital. I remember trying to figure out how old she was. Is she 2 days old on the second day or do you not count the first day? I still don’t know but I do know that she’s been in my life now for 1,448 day’s. WOW!

I love the milestones. I love her smile. I love that she’s a cuddle-r. I love that I have been fortunate enough to wake up each morning with her and snuggle while we watch TV. I love that she’s a tom-boy. I am proud that she can hit a baseball that Daddy pitches to her all the way across the street! I love that she sings all the time. I smile when gives me her pouty eyes. I’m thankful that my Grandmother is still able to spend so much time with her and watch her Monday’s and Tuesday’s, teach her all that she can, and be a positive influence on her. I love that I have a beautiful little girl that is well mannered, lovable, compassionate, giving, and most of all thankful. She makes me who I am today. I’m proud to call her my daughter. Happy birthday Olivia!

Love, Mommy.

Some of these are our goofy shots to but that’s what I love about her!

I know I haven’t written lately about Olivia, so here goes. Olivia and I are like peanut butter and jelly, hamburger and cheese, dill and pickles. We’re sort of like the computer and monitor, a pen and paper, cars and gasoline. We are connected at the hip and go hand in hand. We had an awesome afternoon the other day and here are some pictures to show you from the day…(get ready for image overload!)
