Baby Dedication ...what a precious memory...

What a wonderful day we had...we woke up...Olvia-Ryan is in a growth spurt big time so I was up with her two times last night..but other than that the day was wonderful. We dedicated Olivia-Ryan at the 9:30am service at the Dream Center..the first dedications to be in the new building. After the service we had family over for white chicken chilli, corn bread, homemade carrot cake(daddy's request) and other goodies.

Olivia-Ryan did great at the service and we had to wake her up after she was fast asleep in her carseat (after hardly sleeping all am)...glad that happened..that she fell asleep during the service. We were so thankful to have family atten the service. My folks are staying til tomorrow and all the other family is local.

this is a picture on the screen of OR...Sam and Amie did a great job!

Sleep through the night..first time..

Yes Happy Birthday mommy!! Olivia-Ryan slept through the night without a paci last night for the first time!! I'm writing this on the 13th and last night woke up at 5:30am for a little nursing..but almost...

Our little girl is 3 months old today!!

Can't believe how the time has flown by...I know it's been some time since I posted but wanted to let all know that the 3 month mark is here!! Some pictures will post soon...long past couple of weeks. (some highs and some hard times) just pooped to do it during the night.

we got her to laugh..

I can't believe how big and alert Olivia-Ryan is getting. She will be 3 months in about a week. She is kicking her legs and almost rocking to try and turn over..so fun!

we did not get in the pool because it was too cool and took a long time and more $ to heat.

back of our house..

Mom and I dressed Olivia-Ryan in a a lot of different outfits jus because she has soo many and can't wear them all..we tried to get the most Girlly ones...she was a great sport about it..she did great! better than she is doing here..turned on her noise maker, put her in this really big wall in closet to sleep because of all the light in the room..and did great her first time in a pack-in-play..ready to go again..did better in that than in her bed..or it might be time change..any others going through this?? time change thing??

What a fun night Chris and Isaac had..they camped out in the backyard..Chris is getting him ready for a camping trip. Isaac and Dadda roasted hotdogs over an open fire, ate sun chips and who all knows what else they ate and did...Tanner had a good time too. Stay tuned to the next outdoor getaway...Isaac did want to sleep in his bed after all was said and done...just like his mommy while daddy stayed outside (most of the night)..just relaxing and not having anyone to worry about..b/c Isaac was out asleep and the girls were at the beach..ahh...freedom!
