Our Sweet, Funny little girl

Being a mommy to Olivia has surpassed any expectations I had before she was born  She has been such a love right from the start.  It probably didn't hurt that my mom stayed here in OK for the first 2 weeks of her life and then made the road trip to Utah with us to meet her Slade family.
Some of the highlights from Olivia's life so far.




Grandma!  My mom was a HUGE blessing the first month of Livy's life.  I wouldn't have made it without her.

Smiling!  Her first smile was at her Mimi within minutes of her birth.  She hasn't stopped since.
Sleep.  She is SUCH a good sleeper.  Her first night home from the hospital she slept for about 5 hours at night.  When my mom came to wake me up to feed her I couldn't believe how long she had slept! And at 5 weeks she started sleeping through the night!
Traveling!  Olivia has been to six states and 2 National Parks!  She even has her own Nation Park Passport.  A Hale family tradition. 

She was an AMAZING baby to take to Utah and back.  I don't even know why I was worried.
Cuddler.  She loves to be held close to mommy and daddy.  Some of my favorite times are after I feed her in the morning we snuggle up with a blanket together and go back to sleep for an hour in the chair that papa gave us.
Daddy Time!  Olivia LOVES her daddy.  Everyone morning Jeff comes and takes Olivia for an hour or so, so I can get a little more sleep.  He actually gets upset if he misses it.  And at night before bedtime he plays with her on the floor to tire her out.  Most nights he gets her ready for bed as well.  I could absolutely not imagine having another father for my daughter.  He's amazing with her.
Cooing!  Livy has started to Coo and talk.  I'm obsessed with it.  She's SO adorable.

Content.  Olivia is SO happy and content.  The only time she cries is when she is cold or hungry or tired.  The rest of the time she is such a lovie. 
I am BEYOND blessed to be her mother. 
I like to think Heavenly Father sent me this special spirit because I had to wait so long to have her. 
I'm completely in love with her.
