Hit a Milestone

Olivia is now rolling all over the place. :) Check out the video!

Rolling!

Been a while

I apologize for just now posting again. Things in our lives have been pretty crazy. Olivia is now 4 months old. At her last appointment, she weighed 14 lb. 1 oz. =o) She rolls over, mostly from her stomach to her back. Brandon has been a witness to the roll over from her back to her stomach. She's a very happy baby and smiles and giggles at just about anyone. Last week was a bit rough. I caught the stomach bug, then gave it to Brandon, and then Olivia. It was horrible. We are all better now though. Easter was fun and very relaxed. We got up early and headed to Glencairn Gardens in Rock Hill to take some pictures of Olivia. They turned out great. :) We then went to church at North Rock Hill and the service was amazing. We had a small family gathering at Outback for lunch. Last weekend, we went to the city festival and enjoyed the beautiful weather we've been having. We all got a little pink. :) This weekend we are taking Olivia to her granddaddy and BB's house for a couple days while Brandon and I spend some much needed time together, just us. :) We are excited. I know Livy is looking forward to it. She told me so this morning. ;-)

Oh yeah... yesterday, I decided to cut off about 6 inches of my hair. When I get my hair cut, I really get it cut. :) I just needed a little change.

Brandon's band, Silent Calling, is revving up again with a new sound of Christian worship music, as well as incorporating the original Silent Calling songs. It's a great ministry they feel God in every part of. We are all very excited about it and can't wait for their first gig doing the new set. :)

Both of my friends had their babies a week apart. Busy busy busy! Elijah Juan Alcala was born 4/14/09 weighing 9 lb 1 oz 20 in long. Micah Neal Ashworth was born 4/21/09 weighing 10 lb 4 oz 21 in long. WHOA MAMA. Can we say, "Ouch"? They were both very beautiful. It's amazing how comfortable I am holding infants now compared to how I used to be. It's like second nature. I'm a 4 month PRO! :)

I'll try to keep everyone posted more regularly.
Until next time...
Love you guys! ~Brandon, Jen, & Olivia~

Olivia got Bling!

So, we did it! We decided to bite the bullet and go ahead and do it. It was quite the experience though, and I'm not too sure we will do it twice (if we have another daughter in the future.. far future by the way). Olivia was just too smart to fool. It's like, "SHE KNEW." We could barely get her little ears marked. She had purple marker all over her face from her wondering what they were doing to her. Smart little thing she is. It was heartbreaking to watch, and to experience, but we're all glad it's over. Olivia was fine 30 minutes later and her ears don't seem to bother her at all. She doesn't have a clue what happened. Unfortunately, Mommy and Daddy will never forget. It was worse than shots. One ear, then the next. WHEW!

Here's a pic of Samson and Olivia checking each other out.. LOL...
