Liv almost walking!
She's growing up fast! Not quite walking yet but as you can see, she's not far! Enjoy!
Holiday 08, A Most Joyous Occasion
I guess everyone gets a bit reflective at this time of year, and we are no different. It is amazing that we ended the year in the way we did, very differently than we began 2008! We were blessed by the most special little person's arrival, one which we cannot imagine life without. It is a wonder how adoption works. Just as we were told, there is a perfect match and we are confidant that Olivia was meant to be our child.
We had a very busy December, lots of visits and, as always, lots of firsts! Olivia decided, in a single day, to begin to (finally!) crawl in the forward direction, to pull herself up to standing, and to hold her own bottle. It was momentous to say the least. Thankfully she fit that all in a few days before we left her (for the first time) with her Lola, Aunt Liesl, Uncle Joe and her cousins. Needless to say they all had a blast and we had a weekend to remember what life was like before a little one! December also brought visits - to see the Bush's and be present for baby Devin's naming ceremony, Lori and Tobin (we are so lucky we see them so much given how far away they live, and yes, Tobin and Olivia are still in love), and the Farley's swung by on a post Christmas visit so Olivia and Kayla got to play their hearts away.
Christmas was spent in NJ, and then back at our house so there was a whole lot of celebrating (and lots of toys to go with it). Mattingly and Olivia thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We've included our favorite photos from the holiday...
Our little girl is going to be walking in no time. She spends all of her waking moments doing the three C's - crawling, cruising, and climbing. If you want to figure out how to baby proof your house quickly call us, Olivia will show you in about three seconds.
Happy New Year to all!
