My Baby Girl is 4 Today!!



HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY OLIVIA NICOLE!!

On May 14th at 3:26 am Olivia Nicole came into the world. She was just the cutest little bald baby. She weighed 7 pounds exactly and was 21.5 inches long.

Olivia is a great kid - she's very smart (a little too smart) and knows what she wants. She has beautiful blue eyes and long blonde hair (who knew she'd ever get hair??) She is a total girlie girl yet loves to ride the Ranger and loves her new pink helmet.

I just can't even describe how wonderful she is so I'm going to do a little photo trip down memory lane to show you how much she's grown.
This is Olivia in the hospital after coming out of the NICU oxygen bubble:

And this is Olivia around the time of her first Christmas - She was about 6 or 7 months old and this was also the first picture of her sitting up on her own!

This is around the time of her 1st birthday - we flew back to Michigan and had a big party for her there - shortly after she ended up in the hospital with Rotovirus. Luckily since then she hasn't been all that sick.


Here is Olivia's second Christmas - It was a lot of fun because she was starting to understand it and kind of liked opening her presents:
And finally - we have some hair - this is right after her 2nd birthday!

This picture is when she was about 2 1/2. She loves to color and would spend hours coloring and drawing pictures:

This next one is one of my favorites of her - she really started to look like a little lady in this. It was right before Jackson was born:


And this one is pretty self explainatory - it's Olivia on her 3 year birthday:

Holy cow - showing that progression of pictures sure makes it hit home how big Olivia is getting. She is definitely every inch a little girl (or should I say Diva?).
It's so sad that Jack has been sick so much - he is truely a wonderful little boy. Hopefully your trips to the doctor will solve his ills.
Your blog is great - I really enjoyed catching up on the kids and your lives, I will put you in my favorites and return often to find out more...
