First Birthday


Daddy and Olivia playing on the floor.



Licking a beater of mashed potatoes, like mother like daughter.



Olivia had more fun squishing her cupcake between her fingers than eating it.



She is showing off her homemade birthday card from mamaw.



My little birthday princess


What a great first year!!! Olivia has been such a blessing to Rob and I and we have enjoyed every minute of it. Just to give you an update about what she's up to these days. She is walking all over the place. She has definitely discovered her independence. She has also started her new school. Rob and I love it and think it is a great environment for her each day. We are also super excited that Rob's schedule allows that she is home with him two days a week, so they are getting some great father daughter time together. The first day of "school" she came home talking and pointing out her "shoe". Apparently they had practiced putting their shoes on that day and she really caught on. pretty cool! Also she has starting signing much more in the one week there, because they use it there as well. She can say please, more, and all gone. Love it! She waves to everyone and will blow you a kiss. She loves spending time outside. I can't imagine that it gets any better than this, but a good friend of Rob's says that he would think that at every age of his daughter life too. Here are some pictures from the past month and also from her birthday.
