Baby Friends:)

When in MA, Olivia had a great time meeting Inez, photos on facebook:)

But this week we got to hang out with Lily who lives across the street from us in PA and who was born just three days before Olivia- we just missed each other in the hospital! Though we have gone on walks together before, I was curious to see how much they would notice each other. Not so much just yet. At one point they did play footsie, kinda...but they may have been all for now. I cant wait to see them get to know each other in the months to come though!

Reaching out to Summer Freshmen

Yesterday Olivia and I headed to campus with Nate to reach out to freshmen starting summer session at Penn State. It was a beautiful day on campus- Nate and I both got a little suburned but Olivia stayed mostly covered in her stroller and I COVERED her in baby sunscreen so she was good. We joined Nate and Eric, one of the guys Nate meets with, to ask students to fill out a survey for a chance to win a best buy giftcard or free pizza. In two hours we collected 52 surveys and 24 said they would like to be followed up in some way! Praise God! I was a bit surprised that Olivia didnt draw in more people. I thought she would be a huge draw but only one girl commented on her...I did have her turned away though to be out of the sun, so maybe thats why:) Nate went back yesterday evening and again today- last count I heard were over 50 people to be followed up with! And Nate is at the very first bible study meeting right now- I am home with sleeping Olivia:)
I tried to capture Nate talking to people without taking sketchy pics...
Olivia was content to play in her stroller the whole time- she did GREAT! Then took a nap while we had chick-fil-a for lunch in the student center:) She was awesome!!!

Four Months Old!

Olivia is Four Months Old today. She checked out as healthy today at the doctors and even survived her shots. By the time she was back in her carseat she was smiley:) Though she did take a good nap.

She weights 12 lbs, 11oz and measures 24 and 1/2 inches. So she is long and lean. Hopefully this trend will continue:) She has rolled over a number of times from her tummy to her back, has turned herself around in a circle while on her back, smiles and laughs alot, has started grabbing toys and putting them in her mouth- she still doesn't have great coordination so at times she hits herself in the head, but she likes it in her mouth. We are wondering if any teeth are coming in- Nate got his first teeth at four months.

Also during our time in New England, she visited all SIX states! She has spent a quarter of her life there so hopefully she will remember she is true new englander despite being born in PA:)

Here is her monthly photo and more are on Facebook:)

Sleeping...

Thankfully Olivia is a GREAT sleeper! As we have visited many people and places on this trip, Olivia has had many chances to sleep in new and cozy places:

Her Carseat is definitely a favorite- as long as the car is MOVING!

3 Months down, a lifetime to go!

A little over a week ago Olivia turned 3 months old- time is certainly flying! We have been in MA for a little over two weeks now visiting family and friends and its been great. Olivia has been a wonderful traveler and become a GREAT sleeper! She continues sucking her thumb, can hold up her head quite well, and "talks" a ton!

My First Mother's Day

Was GREAT! Nate made cinnamon rolls and cappacinos for breakfast and showered me with presents :) I think I like any holiday that includes presents- hehe. He gave me fun turtle earings and framed the name sake cross stich that I made for Olivia. We were able to hang it up yesterday in her room- along with a beautiful hand made quilt Olivia recieved. Thank you Nate and Olivia and everyone else for making it a wonderful first Mother's Day!
