Friday!

Jill's aunt Mary Beth sent me a message reminding me that "everybody's working for the weekend" and while it has always been true, having Olive brings the meaning to a whole new level. Weekends are what I look forward to from the moment I wake up Monday morning until 3:30pm Friday afternoon. Over 48 wonderful hours spent with my family are the best hours of the week. My mom helps us out SO much throughout the week with laundry and dishes and cleaning that we are so thankful we can spend as much time as possible while we're home with Olive. But with weeks like this past one when bedtime shifted to 6:15pm for some unknown reason (my wise friend Carrie says to blame everything on growth spurts), the hours at home with Olive were just not enough. So these next 2 days I will enjoy every single minute without worrying about work or anything else. With a weekend starting out with lots of cuddling, I don't think that will be a problem. 

And I honestly have no idea how people who don't wear their babies do it. It is the absolute best to be close to her and Olive takes the best naps in her wrap or carrier.

Lucky!

Lucky has been a word I have used many times to describe how I feel about having Olive in my life. On St. Patrick's Day it only seems appropriate to celebrate our luck and good fortune with a post. Hope today is lucky for you!

Olive is lucky too! She loves her quilt from Mary. :)

Right after I clicked publish on this post Olive had this going on. 2 hands on her ball and trying to get it in her mouth. It looks like the getting everything into her mouth phase is beginning.

3 months!

Today is Olive's 3 month birthday. Crazy and amazing! Olive spent the entire day with Jill and they did a great job on their first day alone together. Olive has loved spending time with her grandma the other days of the week too. She's a lucky little girl to be surrounded by so much love. Without further ado (since I know you're here for the pictures and not my blabbing), here's Olive at 3 months. Fuzzy Puma outfit is from our friends Narcis and Almira.

Back to work.

It's my first week back to work. While I would rather be home with Olive we're all making the best of it and it's going ok so far. When I got home the first two days Olive just wanted to nurse and take a nap on me. I guess that means she was happy to see me? Good thing for the carrier, hours are limited and I never want to set her down so it helps me get some things done.

One of my favorite things she does is hold my shirt when she sleeps on me. 

Love this girl!
