Week 2 & 3 - Lots of Firsts!

Things are moving right along with settling into a new world with Olivia. We've had lots of visitors and "firsts" since Olivia has arrived home with us. Many of those firsts are a little more clean and enjoyable than the poop up the back encountered in week one. Across the last two and a half weeks we've welcomed Karen's mom and sister Melissa (at separate times), we've visited with Joel's family (the whole gang!), we've welcomed friends from close (Paul, Erin, the Helmreich's, the Takata-Wallers, Bambi, KP, Libbie, Kara and Ben, Devin and Addison, Jen and Gee) and from far (Beth and Madeleine, Kristin Steele). We've also made our first trip to the park with the Matthews and Feldner families, our first trip to the mall with Alysa and Vera, and lots of lunches and local errands. We've only logged one public meltdown - in the post office attempting to mail Olivia's announcements. This past Friday we even managed to get out, thanks to Grandma and Papa Angeles, to celebrate our five year wedding anniversary!

Olivia is growing so much - she's a champ at holding up her head, she can basically stand on her own (well, with a little help), she is a smiling machine, and she is really loving time on her activity mat. We are really having a blast!

Here's our latest pictures (all you have to do is click on the picture below to see all of them!)

Karen and Joel,
These pictures are so great! She is so cute and filling out, her cheeks look a little chubby, but not as chubby as Miss Erin O'Moseley! Preggers! I feel like she has grown so much already. You guys look like you are having so much fun. Happy Belated 5th Anniversary, sorry I forgot to call! I can't believe MIss O is going to be a hot body, I love the pictures in her diapers - nakey baby. Love you. Love, me P.S. Where is the pic of me, O and Mad? Were my eyes closed? I'm so sleepy...
