Olive Hope is One Month Old

Olive Hope is an official one month old now!

She is sooo stinkin' cute!  And a very, very sweet and GOOD baby (so far, ha!)  She is very much like Titus as a newborn!  Either they both just happen to be angel babies, or I just got wiser in my baby raising as the years went by??? :)  Seth gets scared that she is SO good, he feels like that means she will be a tough toddler like Titus (he called it a long time ago that Titus would be a rough toddler!!).  Either way, she is ours and we love love love her!!!  How could you not?  Look at that face :)

Big sis wanted to hop in the picture too,,SJ is such an awesome little girl (btw she was a ROUGH baby, not with me, but with anyone else that had her she would cry and cry and cry, and she rarely napped longer than an hour at a time, and she never ever drank bottles, and was terribly hard to put on a schedule,ugh that girl, ha!)!

Since I had the camera out, I decided to throw the other kids in the pic too,,not a great pic, but it's all of them :)

 

Olive is doing great, and the whole family has really adapted well to her.  We are pretty tied down to the house during the day because she is always napping and I respect newbies' naps!  However, in the evening time she cat naps, so that's when we can go out and about (if we choose to). The kids don't seem to mind if we don't go anywhere, half the time I have to FORCE them to do something, they love to play with their little nick nack toys and each other and are perfectly content that way (which really is a blessing).  On the weekends we "try" to stick to her routine, but we have three other kiddos AND Seth and I love to go and do fun stuff, so it's a balance,,,she has learned to go with the flow, but rarely naps while we are out and about, she just looks around and patiently waits on us to get home so she can nap.

We love Miss Olive (Rocket) and we love spoiling her :)  She will be the "baby" of the family for a while (until we adopt). 

 Happy One Month, sweet girl!!
