One Month Old...

Our Little Livi Lou is already a month old! I can't believe it! Here's what we know about you so far, sweet Liv:

*You don't sleep for very long on your own. You like to be held or laying next to mommy. Although, you do sleep pretty well in your bouncer. Still not for all that long. Evidence that you really are a newborn. :)

* You have the darkest and the most hair out of all the Price girls. We're anxious to see if it'll stay that dark.

*You're a sleepy eater like Jentri was, but usually a good diaper change is all you need to wake up and finish eating.

*Daddy has started calling you "Livi Lou," and it seems to stick. A nickname already!

*You still have a pretty soft cry, but are getting more & more vocal...especially when you're hungry. I think you got that from your mama. :)

*You make a funny face when your sisters give you loves, but are otherwise undisturbed. I even caught you smiling at Jen the other day. She especially likes to lay by you face to face and hold your hand. You don't seem to mind one bit.

*Mommy could stare at your sweet face for hours. Not to mention your tiny fingers & toes. So sweet! (You make lots of cute faces when you sleep.)

*Everywhere we go the comments are the same: "She's so tiny!" and "Look at that hair!"

*You are such a calm, sweet, chill babe, and we are sure glad you're here. We sure love you! It's been a happy month!

My take on things...

Is it just me or does time go by faster with each kid you have!?! Sheesh! Olivia will be a month old next week! Crazy! Anyway, I thought I'd take a few minutes and post a little something. I wish I had time and energy to be my wordy self tonight, but I just don't think I can do it! (I know you're so disappointed :)) There's just something about getting some sleep that just seems really appealing at the moment! Go figure...

But I do want to say that things with Olivia are going well, and it seems like she's always been here with us. I'm not gonna lie, all of us are still adjusting, but I think for the most part we're adjusting well. :) It's been tough to find a balance of how much attention I can give to each of them, but I'm told that will come with time. If that even makes any sense at all!

My girls definitely love their little sister, and are so cute to give her plenty of hugs and kisses. Emma really wasn't going to have anything to do with this new intruder at first, but now is right there with Jen to give her loves. Jentri especially likes to hold Livi's hand, and if I have a onesie on her with the hand covers, she has to dig for her little fingers until she can hold her hand. Pretty cute. Emma likes to give Livi "hugs" which usually consist of a mild head butt and Emma saying, "awww." So nice of her! She also loves to give her very wet kisses, which again is nice...and wet. :) I have confidence that she's learning the meaning of the words "be soft" (I have my fingers crossed!). No major mishaps yet, so that's good. They both love to help finding diapers and wipes, and Jen especially will remind me to grab a burp cloth before feeding Livi. So sweet!

I really do feel blessed to have these beautiful girls in my life. I like to complain a lot that we didn't plan to have our kids so close together, but I really am grateful that I can be their Mommy. It brings me so much joy and I wouldn't trade it for anything! How can you not just

instantly LOVE those sweet faces?!! One thing's for sure, I'm one lucky Mama!

More to come...but for now, I'm going to bed! Happy Wednesday!
