Olivia and the Easter Bunny

Olivia and I were invited by a friend Meagan, who does my hair and also knew Gay to visit her neighborhood Easter egg hunt. I was so excited because they were going to have the Easter bunny and live baby bunnies as well. Olivia was a big girl and sat with the Easter bunny without crying. She loved sitting with the little bunnies as well. I told Meagan that we were coming every year from now on. Olivia was not a big fan of the egg hunting but, we will work on that. Here are a few pictures of Olivia and the bunny. 

15 Months already!

Today was Olivia's 15 month check up. In one year she grew 10 inches and today when they measured her she has grown 3 more inches since December. She is now 33 1/2 inches The doctor did assure me that her growth would decrease but at this point I am not sure. She weighed in at 25 pounds and 4 ounces which was surprising to me since she eats non stop.

Since her surgery a week ago Olivia has been talking so much more and understanding what we are saying. It is such an improvement from before. I was very hesitant at first but I think that it truely helped her.

This was my first week back after Spring Break and I was not ready. We had such a great break relaxing and hanging out. Chris was off most of the week so we all had lots of family time together.

Our Little Patient

Today was Olivia's surgery. We had to be at the surgical center at 6:30 which was early for all of us. Her surgery was at 8:00 a.m. and it took about 30 minutes. The doctor came and spoke with us after the procedure and said that she had fluid in both ears and her adnoids were swollen. So it was a good thing she had the surgery otherwise we would have been back at the doctors with another ear infection. When they finally let us back to see her Olivia was not happy. We could hear her all the way down the hall. I felt so bad for her that we were not there when she woke up. She took a few little naps and had some jello but was not satisfied until she had some bread. She is doing great and we are hoping this solves her infections. Thank you for all of the thoughts and prayers. Olivia is such a trooper and was almost back to her normal happy self by this afternoon. Now we are going to enjoy the rest of our Spring Break being healthy!!

Starting Over

I know it has been very long since I have posted anything to this blog but I have decided to start again. I have been inspired by my other friends blogs and I want to share info about our family without having to send out emails all the time. So, I am still learning and I am hoping I can catch on quick!

As most of you know, Olivia is just like her daddy. Starting at a month old she started getting ear infections and at 14 months our doctor told us it is time to visit an ENT. She has been sick on and off since I have scheduled her surgery and today she had a fever. Chris and I are both hoping that she feels better tomorrow and we can still proceed but we are going to check to make sure she is 100% before she does the procedure.

I am hoping to post some pictures of Olivia as well. Especially since the ones I have on here now are of her in the womb.

Olivia is such a blessing to our life and brings us joy everyday. She has just learned the word no and tells me no quite often. It is very hard not to laugh but it is super cute. She loves playing outstide and watching Chris and Buster play in the backyard.

I hope to keep up with this blog as much as possible!!
