Livie at 5 weeks

Our beautiful little Olivia is now 5 weeks old. She has grown a lot and made so much progress in the last 5 weeks. She's even beginning to look like a little lady rather than a newborn. This is such a fun time in our lives.

A few things to remember about Olivia at 5 weeks:

-Her head full of strawberry blond hair hasn't fallen out. Mom and Dad are continuing to cross their fingers that it won't.

-She has consistently gained 1 pound a week and her little chubby cheeks, pop belly and chunky thighs make mom laugh everyday.

-Her brilliant blue eyes seem to be getting bigger, bluer and more curious everyday.

-Her smiles are getting bigger and bigger and make Mom melt.

-She is still so well mannered and peaceful. Sometimes she gets lonely for Mom or Dad and will cry. Being held and played with is her favorite thing.

-She still loves falling asleep on Dad's chest every night and nothing could make him happier. If Dad could, he would freeze that moment and stay in it forever.

-She is doing so well holding her head up. She loves to sit up on Moms lap and stare into her eyes. She'd be content to do that all day long if Mom didn't have chores to do around the house.

-She loves the sound of the vacuum and hair dryer. The neighbors above probably wonder why we are vacuuming at 2 o'clock in the morning.

She is getting so long and loves to kick and be free. She gets upset
when she's swaddled. She is enjoying her new found freedom.

Chubby, very kissable cheeks she has!
