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!

Surgery is Scheduled

I just got off the phone with the surgery scheduler Susan, who is a VERY helpful woman, and my surgery is scheduled for July 13th. And on Monday I found out that the test for my lymph nodes came back negative so I will just be having my thyroid removed. Praise God!

Blue White Game

One year ago we visited Penn State for the first time.

Little did we know then all that this year would bring us. We have spent much of the weekend thinking of all the fun things we did last year when we visited- meeting all the staff for the first time, visiting the lion shrine, Nav TV and the Blue White Game. We visited the lion again this year with Arlyn and Laura before Nav TV and then on Saturday we got ready to go to the Blue White Game...but it was kinda chilly and rainy and we had missed a lot of it already so we took some pictures and called it a day. Sunday we headed to the waffle shop to mark a year meeting our neighbors/co-workers/friends Jaime and Eric Staveness- we are so thankful for them! Here are a couple family pics from the weekend:
