More Babies

The Baker Family

We are so excited for yet more babies to be arriving in the spring. Our best friends Mark and Jenni are expecting baby #2 in April. Caitlin is going to be such a wonderful Big Sister, she has been practicing with Olivia.

We adore our little God Daughter

In January her younger sister Emily and her husband Chris are expecting their first child, a little boy. We could not be more thrilled for them and their families. It is such a wonderful time in our lives and we get to sit back and enjoy.

The Princess

Our 4 Month Photo Shoot

Mostly all the pictures I got she had her hand in her mouth or she was trying to eat the blanket. Maybe next time I will have better luck.

Olivia Meets Aunt Anna

Auntie loving her some Olivia

I have been looking forward to this visit for over a month now and am so excited that my other family got here!!! Olivia finally got to meet her Aunt Anna and I got to see the baby belly. Oh how I miss my best friend, and wish that she was moving back to Orlando! Even though Olivia was not in the mood to visit with guests after her morning shots, we made it through anyway.

We love Aunt Anna and Baby V!

Maybe another visit in November and then a baby shower coming next year!

4 Month's Old

Love of our lives!!!

4 Month Stats:

Weight: 12lbs. 12ozs. 25th percentile

Height: 23 3/4 inches. 25th percentile

My little one is 4 month's old today, she is growing right before my eyes. She has changed so much in just this last month, it's really unbelievable. Olivia is very curious about everything around her and anything she can get in her little hands goes straight into her mouth. She is still "Our Little Shark Mouth", because if she can't get it in her mouth she tries to attack it instead.

Little Tushie

Now that she is rolling over like a Pro, she has been trying to get moving. She is so close to figuring out how to crawl. I say before she is 5 months she will be crawling. But still all she wants to do is stand up, it makes her happy. If she could balance herself I know she would be running all around this house.

Waking up after her first night in her crib!

She is almost consistently sleeping through the night now and she hasn't even started on rice formula yet. But, since she was sleeping mostly through the night we decided that it was time to put her in her room. She loves it, so much more comfortable then a pack-n-play.  

New Toy

She is also holding her head up really well now so she is able to play in her new exersaucer! She can almost reach the ground, but I don't think that she minds not bouncing when there is so much other stuff to play with. 

"What do you taste like?"

While we were in Sarasota Olivia got to play in Caitlin's star float. I know we have a water baby on our hands, although she almost licked the face off. I said everything goes in the mouth even when it can't. She licks things like a lollipop, so funny. 

1 Year and Counting

We can't believe that it has already been a year since we got married! A year filled with amazing changes, we moved twice, had our first child, my graduation, and many others. Now we look forward to a hopefully quieter year watching Olivia crawl, walk, and grow.

Ben, Olivia, and I hit the road on Thursday afternoon, headed to Sarasota to spend our Anniversary weekend. Our BFF's the Baker's would be there later that night so the kids could play and we could have fun adult time too.

Pool Time

The kids loved being by the pool and we had gorgeous weather the entire time, while Mommies and Daddies enjoyed the "Hurricane Hut"! At night we went to our favorite spot, St. Armands Square! Shops and restaurants my 2 favorite things to do. We even got to enjoy our cake topper, which we picked up on our way there. We had some issues with the old one so Disney made us a fresh one! It was delicious.

It was an amazing weekend and a great way to celebrate both our Wedding's!

1 Year Ago...

Happy Anniversary 
to the most AMAZING Husband 
that a girl could ask for!

As Ben and I look forward to celebrating our 1 year anniversary I thought I would share some photos of our special days. Yes, I said days. We had 2 ceremonies and 2 receptions. We were first married in the catholic church on September 16 and then at Disney on September 19. It was the most wonderful week, were able to make many memories with our friends and family that we will have to look back on as we grow old. 

For the Catholic ceremony I was lucky enough to be able to wear my mother's 27 year old wedding dress. We made a small change to the sleeves and that was all that had to be done. It was a small simple ceremony with a reception at our family's wine bar. It was a very vintage affair and meant so much to me. 

Thank you Katie for the beautiful photo's!

On September 19 we said "I Do" again in front of all of our friends and family at Disney. It truly was a fairytale day. If I could plan the whole day again I don't think I would do anything differently. It was PERFECT!

We did it...Again!

Heading to the reception

The most amazing moment!

We are now on our way to celebrate our Anniversary Weekend in Sarasota! Many pictures to come. 

Going to the Chapel...

Congratulations are in order!!!

My cousin Amanda got engaged last week to her now Fiance, Josh! We met Josh last year at our own wedding and could not pick out a more perfect fit for our little cousin. Together they make such a great couple and know that they will be so happy forever!

A+J

They are currently working on remodeling their future home...nest! Maybe little cousin's in the future for Olivia? Don't worry Aunt Kathy I will not push that subject further.

We are so excited and can't wait for the wedding.
