Move over Lady Liberty!

I know you think today is our country's birthday but actually it is Olivia's birthday! This is such a cliche parent statement but...I can't believe my baby is already 1! It has seriously been the faster year. Probably because she is child #3 so I am plenty busy and time seems to fly by. There are never enough hours in the day or hours of sleep! Livvy has been such a blessing in our home and it is really quite fun to see her personality come out more and more each day. She still absolutely LOVES Micah and Hailey and any other babies. When she gets really excited she has a very high pitched squeal that is rather loud compared to her quiet personality. She hasn't been in any big rush to move around but she's finally crawling (if you can call it that...she looks like Lt. Dan in Forest Gump!) and just within the last few weeks has started pulling herself up to everything! It was nice while it lasted but Olivia is now quite the busy body! I absolutely love to see Micah and Hailey interact with her. They love her SO much! Micah is always saying, "we have the cutest baby ever!" and Liv is the only one that can stop Hailey's crying when she's in one of her moods. She has been my most cuddly baby, although it doesn't last more than a few seconds these days. In the last month she has become a bit of a "Momma's girl" which can be a bitter-sweet kind of thing! I love her red hair that has continued to grow in that we learned comes from Eric's grandma's side of the family and I just hope it stays that way. We love our Olivia, Livvy, Liv, Olive and are so grateful we have her!
