Abuelita came to see Olivia

My (Juan) mother , Olivia's abuelita (grandmother), came out for a few days to see O's growth. She is about 11.5 lbs at this point and she is talking and smiling like crazy. These are a few pictures of Olivia's abuela and her as she smiles up a storm. She is so cute and I can't stop kissing her so much. We were glad that my mother was able to come out to see O. This time in life seems so important as she grows so quickly.

Olivia is growing up!

The first picture is of Olivia and Juan on February 21, 2009 - she was just under 2 weeks old. We took the second photo on April 14, 2009 (although it seems like it was just yesterday!), when she was a little over 2 months old.

It's crazy to see how much she is growing - not only in size, but not she's making more and more facial expressions and "talking" - it's really cute and makes us fall more in love with her each and every day.

Such a cute outfit on such a cute girl!

I've been trying to go through Olivia's clothes and make sure she gets to wear some of the cute clothes we received as gifts before she outgrows them.

Today I tried this outfit on (from Martha) her and I LOVE it!

(Don't you just love her expressions - especially in the first photo?!)

Olivia's Easter Sunday Dress

This is Olivia's First Easter Sunday Dress and the second photo is of Olivia and (uncle) Kent Zippe. He is a really good friend that has been part of our lives for the past 4 years. I met him in a men's Bible study 4 years ago and he is part of the family now. Olivia is so pretty.

Talking/Peeka-Boo O

Olivia was lying on her back and talking really loudly so I grabbed the video camera to catch her in the action. Then we played peeka-boo to get her to talk and smile. She is so much fun. Even when she gets fussy. Both videos are kind of long 5 min or so.

Opening Day

My (Juan) favorite season of the year, my favorite University (of Houston), my favorite team (Houston Astros) and my favorite little girl (holding her Louisville Slugger). I have great memories growing up with baseball and my father. I hope build good memories with Olivia. GO STROS!

Laughing O

I (Juan) was playing with Olivia and doing the peek-a-boo game and she loved it. It is something else when they start to respond to your actions. These are my favorite to date.

The other day Olivia was crying so I took her to her "happy place" which happens to be the changing table. So I shot this video of her. She is so happy here. She cracks us up how happy she is here. Sometimes we'll move he changing pad to the living room and lay her in it and she will lie there for half an hour just kicking and talking. This is the video.
