Camo Day

Daddy said that we were  going to wear camo today.  Mommy forgot when I woke up today and dressed me not in camo.  Mommy and daddy did lots of cleaning today for my party tomorrow! I am so excited for all my friends to come over.  I did good with my milk this morning! I drank almost all of it in my sippy cup and even had a morning snack.  I tried scrambled eggs and toast today.  I liked it a little bit.  I ate almost the whole piece of toast! Daddy took me outside to play today in the grass and I was doing really good with all my standing.  I still get a little nervous when I let go.  Daddy set up my tent in the house.  We tried playing in it but I didn't really like it too much plus it was hot in there.  I ate a good dinner- sweet potato fries and macaroni and cheese.  Can't wait for my party tomorrow!

XOXO

Milk Day 1

I was so excited to buy milk today when grocery shopping! I have been reading lots about transitioning to milk.  It is not a fast process.  For one week we will do 1/4 milk 3/4 formula, then next week 1/2 milk, 1/2 formula, then 3/4 milk 1/4 formula then finally all milk! So I am thinking we may have to buy one more formula =( But today she did fine with it.  She had milk about 5:00 and then before bed.  She drank all of both bottles! Soon we will work on switching totally to the sippy cup too! It is a work in progress!

Olivia seemed much better today.  A little cranky this afternoon but she ate much better today.  She is also enjoying some new toys- a tea pot set and her Elmo drum book.  Olivia has been doing more standing and will walk holding our hands.  I know one day she will let go and take off. 

Well time to start getting ready for her party on Sunday! We are so excited to celebrate with everyone!

Post Birthday Aftermath!

Well today was day one of being 1! The morning was good and she was super happy BEFORE we went to the doctor.  We went for Olivia's 1 year check up.  She did really well waiting patiently for the doctor.  I brought some books and snacks to keep her entertained.  The doctor said that she looked great and was developing like she should!

Here are her stats:

Weight: 19 lbs 8.5 oz (25-50th percentile)- I was really hoping for 20 pounds!
Height: 29 1/4 inches (50-75th percentile)
Head Circumference 46 1/4 cm (75-90th percentile)

The doctor said we can go ahead and go off baby food and she can eat what we eat except for peanut butter.  She said to wait until 18 months- 2 years.  We also can start whole milk! Yippee! We have to wean her off the formula which should take a few weeks so I am hoping we have enough formula to last.  Olivia also got 3 shots and one toe prick! Ouch- Not Happy! The doctor also notice her top teeth area was swollen and said that they should be coming soon. 

But after the doctor she was a hot mess.  I brought her home and put her down for a nap.  I ended up letting her sleep because she was so tired and we missed Kindermusik =( I woke her up about 5:10 and she was not happy.  She did drink her formula but when it came to dinner time- she pitched a fit.  She was crying off and on after the formula so I figured she was just hungry- not so much.  I threw most of it away! I was so sad and she was just miserable! So we played and took a bath and then she drank her whole bottle before bed- maybe she regretted not eating dinner!

This was last night before bed.  She has big girl jammies on and snuggling with her Lamby!

Being cute on the scale

I am a big girl!

Holding her at the doctor's office is near impossible- thank goodness the blinds were cheap entertainment!

Open, close, open, close

Olivia's 1st birthday cake

Brendon apologizes for standing in front of the camera while we were singing! So sorry! Thank goodness we get another chance on Sunday at her party!! And we didn't notice until we uploaded it too! Guess that is just being so excited to sing!



Happy 1st Birthday Olivia!!

Today was such a special day.  We tried to capture a lot of today in photos and video- so excuse all the pictures!  Brendon took Olivia to Gymboree this morning and they sang to her at Gymboree.  After a very short cat nap we ate lunch and headed out to the Yellow River Game Ranch.  What a great place! We really enjoyed it and loved being so close to the animals.  We walked and saw all sorts of animals.  After the Game Ranch we tried to get her to nap which was just not happening! So we kept her entertained with playing and swinging outside.  We ate dinner and then invited Olivia's Godparents- Rick and Karyn- and Kristy and Shawn for smash cake, cupcakes, and presents! Such a fun time.  We then ended the night with a bath and bedtime!

We we so blessed to have Olivia and she truly is a miracle.  Every day she surprises us with something new she is doing.  She is such a funny little girl and has grown so big! Tomorrow we are off to the doctor so hopefully we will see how big she is!

Good Morning!!

Lunch time!
