Month 1

Olivia, as I am sure all babies do, consumed our whole world from the very beginning.  We had some bumps the first month but we are really thankful that she is totally healthy (albeit on the small side) and happy.  My mom was able to stay here for two weeks after Livi was born - I cannot say enough about the help she was.  Seriously - that was INCREDIBLE!

In Olivia's first month of life she:

• Was in newborn clothes and diapers
• Had newborn pictures taken
• Enjoyed a quiet Halloween at home
• Went to church several times
• Traveled to Florida to attend her first wedding (Justin and Shannon Waters)
• Met her maternal great grandparents
• Met all of her aunts, uncles and cousins
• Met all of her FBC Palatka church family
• Much of her TCFBC church family
• Saw lots of people from SCA
• Gained almost 1 pound
• Grew 1 inch
• Started smiling socially
• Could not get enough of her pacifier
• Saw Ya Ya, Chief, Nana and Papa again!
• Made mom and dad's heart melt over and over and over again! :)
