Before Olivia....
Wow.
This picture was taken in 1998 during our senior year. It was for a psychology class project. You know the one where they make you take care of an egg or a bag of flour for one week as if it was a baby? I happened to have a baby doll from childhood that was eerily real looking so we used that. We had to go all sorts of places and take pictures of us taking care of our "baby".
Our baby's name was Jordan ( I was really into MJ back then) and a boy. I don't remember what grade we got on the project, but hopefully we learned something from it!
We will have to recreate this pic... flannel shirt and bowl cut included! Except that now we have a real baby girl that we can't leave sitting underneath the table while we eat in the cafeteria. :)

When My Baby Dreams...
I saw a segment on the Today show last week about a regular mom who came up with such a cute idea. She said that when her baby was little, she was always sleeping for hours at a time. And since she missed her baby so much while she was sleeping she would just stare and watch her sleep. She started thinking about what her baby was dreaming about and then eventually started to create those dreams from items around her house and took pictures of them. She only uses things around the house, mainly scarves and blankets. She calls herself a blanket artist! I thought it was so creative, so I tried to come up with a few of Olivia's dreams. The only difference is that my baby does not sleep! So here are the dreams she should be having...
Oh and check out the book this Mom made of her pictures.. it's called "When My Baby Dreams"

She went to pick some flowers on a sunny day with just a few clouds.
Then she headed to the mountains to play with a lamb!

Two Months!
Dear Olivia,
You are two months old today! I can't believe how fast time is going. In a few weeks I have to go back to work and even though I will only be gone 24 hours a week of your life, they will be the longest most tortuous 24 hours anyone has ever experienced!
You are responding to our voices with funny faces and lots of smiles. Your first really good smile came on New Year's Eve and we were both there to see it. You are starting to sleep more at night, sometimes even 5-6 hours! And today, you are taking your first real nap in the bedroom all by yourself instead of on my chest. I don't like that achievement for personal reasons, but the books tell me you are going to have to start doing that!
You have started to have one "blow out" as we call them a day. Your poo is awe inspiring Olivia. You can ruin several outfits in a single grunt.
You are tracking toys that we show you and following them as we move them. But your favorite toy continues to be Mr. Ceiling Fan. You and him always have a private joke going that Daddy and I can't figure out.
Your doctor's appointment is tomorrow, so we will find out how much you weigh. Daddy has started calling you "Tank", but ignore him. You just love your mama's milk is all! You still give me the "milky face" when you are done eating and it's still the cutest face ever. And when you stretch your arms out as you wake up, you shake your little hands over and over until the stretch is over and you drift back to sleep.
We love you so much and it sure is true what they say... I love you more than the day before and will love you more tomorrow!
I am having such a hard time picking which one to use as your official 2 month picture, so I think I will just have to go with both! You are just so pretty!
