Olivia is 4 months!

My beautiful baby is 4 months old. I can hardly believe how fast it goes. She's such a sweetie. She is now very good at rolling over both ways, she will smile at me almost anytime she sees me smiling at her. She's totally Mommies girl and doesn't like being left with others, although having Jaden there can sometimes stop the tears. She loves to watch her siblings play and wiggles like she can't wait to get in on that action herself.

25in.
13lb.



I'm not sure what kind of epression this is, but it makes me giggle.






Here's her comparison with Billy.

Lets have some more January

Here we have Jaden's snowman, gingerbread boy, snowflake and others, as well as my Little Livvy Elf I used for singing time. 
 She Just looks darling in here church dress.
 My poor Bella got pink eye. Luckily we still have drops from last time and it's already looking a lot better. She's been doing a good job staying away from Olivia and Jaden so she does give them pink eye. She says she hopes her eye will be blue again soon. :)

 Of course more snow fun. Ya know what happens when you jump on a snowy tramp?
 You slip and fall. :)

That's Not Where I Left You

I make it a habit of laying Olivia down in the middle of her blanket on her back. She's often happy there but lately something keeps happening. 

 All this wiggling around makes me wonder if soon she'll be . . . . 







Oh yes she did. Rolled all the way over!
 She seems pretty pleased with herself. 
Ya know until she realizes she hates being on her tummy. :)

Tiny Dancer

Bella started taking a dance class from Downtown Dance Studio for 3 & 4 year olds. She was super excited to get to wear her new dance outfit that she picked out herself.



There's my little dancer!
She loved it so much she wanted to go the next day and was really bummed when I told her she had to wait till next week.

P.S. These dance outfits are SO not potty friendly. Doh!

Splish Splash they were taking a Bath

Excuse my children's nudity but this was just adorable! In a hurry to get the kiddos all bathed for church in the morning we had Olivia bath with the other kids. They took turns holding her and washing her. Don't worry this was very well supervised.



The kids really enjoyed it and I think Olivia did too. 

And it's January

Janurary has been bitter cold, often below zero, but we manage to have some fun . . . somehow.
Jaden is loving his remote control car he got for Christmas he'll jump it off the couch onto the cushion.
 Bella, as cute as ever sporting her Dora Guitar that has no volume control and drives me bonkers, but she does love it. 
 If it gets about 10 degrees around here and Daddy's home, this is happening
Not that he stays in the sled long. Hee. He still loves it though
 The neighbor kids also love coming over and getting rides. They all have a blast.

To comfort a crying Olivia,  Jaden gave her his favorite Bunny. Not to be outdone Bella gave her her favorite blanky. Ahh. More importantly it worked!
 Clearing off the tramp for some winter jumping. 
 On of the days the kids were NOT allowed to go outside. This is about 1 in the afternoon. Yup the trees are STILL frosty. BRRRR!

Just horsing around with the rodeo set Bella got from Grandma Potter for Christmas. 


Don't know if you can really tell in these pics, but Jaden coming in from playing outside. His nose and cheeks were super red.



Olivia adores getting attention from her siblings. Especially Jaden

Olivia is over 3 Months

That's right my baby turned 3 months old on Christmas Eve, and of course we were a bit busy for me to fully appreciate it so here she is in her adorable glory. 
 Her smiles are far more common now. Melting mommy's heart with a glance. 
And how cute are these little jammies? She got them for Christmas from my Mom's friend Patty. Fabulous taste I must say. Look at these little zebra feet. Aww.
 Here she is compared to Billy. . . okay everyone looks small next to Billy, but she's growing!
 Don't ya just wanna pick her up and hug her? Ya know I do! . . . In fact I think I will! Yup be jealous!
