Happy Birthday Olivia

So we have made it one full year as parents, and so far so good. Olivia is alive and well and even seems fairly happy! We had a very small birthday celebration for her and she got to try her first sweet. She enjoyed it, but I wouldn’t say that it was much different from seeing her eat other things. She is just a really good eater. Speaking of that I was a little worried that she would be over weight at her 1 year check up today but she was just fine. Her stats are 20lbs 7oz and almost 30 inches long. The doctor said she was even a little under on her weight for her size. So I guess she can keep on eating. The new things Olivia can do these days are take a few steps on her own, open up cupboards, click her tongue, make a great mad face, and give really nice hugs and kisses. Well maybe they are a bit messy on the kisses but they are still sweet. She is also working on learning her body parts. Recently she has been sleeping like a champ from about 8 PM until around 6:30AM. Last night however was awful. She woke up at 3AM and unless we were holding her she would not sleep. We are hoping that tonight is back to normal. Also just to share a piece of news, Andy’s cousin gave birth to a little baby girl on Olivia’s birthday this year! The baby was 5-7 weeks early, but is doing well. FYI there are a few newer pictures of Olivia under the 12th month tab.
