Sweet little Livi had the most amazing eye contact for a newborn.  She wasn’t much of a sleeper during our session, but she also hardly made a peep!  Dark hair, blue eyes and squishy cheeks makes for another perfect little person brought into the world.  I can’t wait to watch her grow up!  As I sit here and look at these images I’m amazed how fast my own baby’s first 7 months have just flown by!  There just isn’t enough hours in a day or weeks in a year…

Introducing Olivia Grace 🙂

This summer we made a list of all the things we want to do.  Everything from roast marshmallows to camping to this trip to Kansas City.  I think we are about 1/2 way through that list, even with the kids being at camp part of the time.  Having a list of things to look forward to has kept them from getting bored and me from going crazy.  🙂  This past weekend we drove up to KC and spend time all around Union Station and the zoo.  The weather was perfect!

The morning after we got home this happened…

Let me remind you she is SEVEN MONTHS OLD!  She is crazy.  She has been learning new things so fast I can hardly keep up.  She also took her first knee forward in crawling position today.  What a wild ride she has been… 🙂

I met this mom-to-be while I was pregnant with our Clary.  She is a nurse at my OB’s office, and every month when I’d come in for my check up I’d tell her ‘Don’t tell me how much I’ve gained, only if it’s healthy’.  I still don’t know how much I put on, and I’m very happy for that.  🙂  This past Saturday she got to welcome into the world her baby girl, Livi Grace.  Livi has been prayed for and wanted for a long time, and momma did a wonderful job getting her here.  They had so many wonderful family members and friends in and out the whole time offering support and giving her something to laugh about.  I was honored to witness not just the birth of this baby girl, but the love in this family…the entire family!  🙂

Livi was born at 2:18pm, weighing 7.2 pounds and 19 inches long.  And the hair!  Oh my that hair…she is beautiful!  🙂

Oh these big brothers were so energetic!  No, that’s not code for difficult…they were fun!  And now they have a little brother to complete their circle of love.  Mom and dad, you were so laid back and a joy to work with.  Can’t wait till next time!  🙂

Well, she is 6 months old now!  I can’t believe how fast it’s going…and with her sitting so well and now pulling up on her knees so early it’s going by even faster!  I’m actually discouraging her from moving, lol!  She weighs in at 17.95 pounds and is now 27 inches long!

And this is my mini me!  He is officially a kindergarten graduate!  I can’t get enough of this guy.  He is so funny, and he loves to cuddle as much as he loves to wrestle!
