Bathing Beauty

Dress Up Time!

This morning, I decided to torture...umm, I mean play dress up, with Olivia. After all, part of the fun of having a little girl is putting her in ridiculous outfits :). Anyhoo, I have been searching for a tutu for her to wear for some newborn photos we're having taken next week, and stumbled upon this little beauty yesterday while we were in Santa Monica looking for tile for our new kitchen. It's not exactly the one that I had in mind, so the tutu hunt continues (Doug probably thinks that I've lost my mind at this point!).

And now, I present to you Princess Olivia!!!



I know that I'm biased, but could she be any cuter?!?


While looking for a clean onesie (her third one of the day since she's quite a messy girl!), I discovered this lovely bow. It's practically as big as her head!





She will be four weeks old this Friday, and I really can't believe that much time has already gone by! Part of me wants to freeze time so she'll be my little peanut forever... but then again, eventually sleeping more than three hours at a time is sounding very appealing at this point :).

Ruffle Bum

My mom bought Olivia this adorable underwear when I was about 6 months pregnant, and although it's a bit large on her, I couldn't resist trying it out after I saw pictures of my niece Quin in her ruffle bum underwear. Thanks to my SIL Erin (check out her amazing blog when you have the chance, she takes the cutest photos!) for inspiring me to take some pics and for teaching me how to enlarge photos in my blog!




Is there anything cuter than baby feet?!?






Mom, stop taking my picture! I'm so sleepy...


Okay, if you won't let me sleep then I'll just go ahead and eat my finger.


On a totally separate note, Doug definitely gets the Dad of the year award... I developed a horrible case of mastitis this past weekend (I won't go into any gross details, but I just want to know why no one tells you about these sorts of things before you have a baby? I guess that they don't want to scare you!). Anyhoo, he has really been wonderful, taking care of both me and Olivia. She's lucky to have such a wonderful daddy, and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband! Olivia also nicely blessed me with 5.5 hours of continuous sleep last night, sleeping from midnight until 5:30am! Fingers crossed that this is her new sleep pattern - it felt so amazing to sleep for that long :)

This is Olivia's very favorite naptime position.

This Little Lady...

In the past 24 hours, miss Olivia:

- Spit up 4 times (once straight down my shirt, and another time all over our bed!). And we're talking a full meal's worth. I think we might need to check her into Over Eaters Anonymous.
- Projectile pooped onto our carpet. (Note to self: rectal thermometer + carpet = bad idea. I'll spare you the gory details).
- Peed twice on her changing table.
- Refused to sleep for 8 hours straight.

It's a good thing that babies are so darn cute!!!

Happy Father's Day!

Wishing my amazing husband a happy, happy first Father's Day!!! Olivia is so blessed to have a daddy as wonderful as you :).
