Olivia Darling gets blessed

This last Sunday was special for our family because our little livy was blessed. Adam did such a great job with the blessing and we had lots of fun at our house after. Adam truly is the best dad to Livy, can't wait to see him with her as she grows up. Here are some snap shots of the big occasion:

Livy's growing strong!

Wow, time has gone by so fast and Livy is already almost 2 months old. We have grown a lot emotionally and Livy has grown a lot physically this month. Livy is now 12 lbs 13 ounces and has rolls pretty much everywhere to prove it. She has grown out of her newborn clothes & diapers. The past 2 months have been very fun, but also very exhausting. I have learned a lot as a mom already and I love being with Livy everyday. She is truly one special little girl and I feel so lucky to be able to be her mom. She smiles constantly at Adam and it brings tears to his eyes, I can already tell she will be able to get away with a lot with her Daddy... From snuggling with her at 3 am to singing to her at 1 in the afternoon I have loved every bit about being a mom! It is a lot of work, but I think being a mom is the best job ever and I feel privileged to be Livy's.

Livy's firsts!
1) first bath in sink..she enjoyed this a lot
2) first Diaper rash :(
