6 months ago...

...Olivia was born!

It is crazy to think that she's only been alive (or at least outside of me:)!) for 1/2 a year!!
Already she has changed our lives for the better and we can't imagine it without her.

I had every intention to write monthly blogs about her personality and growth, but surprise, surprise, that didn't happen!
So instead, I thought I'd just share some highlights of her first 6 months of life and FINALLY showcase her monthly pictures that I did manage to take...my how she's grown!

Olivia is.....
- a great eater!  Her chunky cheeks and above average weight gain are evidences of this.
- a songbird! She constantly is "singing"....sometimes her voice is more like gurgled spit, high pitched shrills, or breathy guffaws, but it's music to our ears.
- going to be a soccer player...at least that's what her papi says about her constant kicking that could power a small city!

- a pacifer-thumb-finger-toe sucker!  She's not picky....anything that she can put into her mouth, she goes to town with it.
- always dreaming of the beach....or at least she sleeps like a sunbather with her hands tucked behind her head!

- pure joy!  I love how she smiles with her whole face and the sound of her laugh!

Esteban and I already feel so blessed, honored, and humbled that God would entrust this precious baby to us!  We pray that she would continue to grow in health as well as love for Jesus and others.

Happy 6 months sweetie!
