Two Weeks Already!

Life with Alivia has been great!

Here is her first bath at home... she wasn't a fan.

She had her first trip to the park at one week old

 She slept almost the entire time

The next morning, Uncle Ben and Aunt Tamisha came to meet Alivia

They are going to have a baby of their own. 

We are pretty excited to meet our new cousin in November!

I did another photo shoot with Alivia Jo

2 Weeks

I love my chubby, happy baby!

She loves to sleep, eat and be held, What a Life!

 My very best friends came over for brunch on Saturday,

 it was so fun to see everyone!

 Later that night, we walked down to the park to celebrate Lucas' 3rd Birthday!

 I can't believe how fast these kids are growing up! Tear

 I've been trying to get a good picture of these best friends forever!

 They are so lucky to have each other!

Love these girls!

Photo Shoot

This afternoon I did a little photo shoot with Alivia Jo. She is quite the little model.

It wouldn't be a good post without some cute pictures of Big sister Ella Kate...

Alivia's First Days

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Alivia's first days. She has just a sweet, mellow personality. All she wants to do is eat and sleep! Big sister has a cold and cough, so it's been a bummer trying to keep her away from little sister.

Today Katie, Lucas, and Jeanine came to see Alivia

Below are just a few sweet pictures of our Alivia Jo

...and Baby Makes Four!

This morning at 8:20 our little Alivia Jo joined our family. I was scheduled to be induced this morning but she decided to come on her own. She weighed 9 lbs and was 21 in long. I apparently like to have big babies! She has the calmest, sweetest personality. We couldn't be happier with the newest addition to our family.

Alivia Jo's middle name is after her daddy- Mark Joseph

Ella is the one who came up with the name "Alivia" and has insisted that we name her that ever since. Good thing we love the name Alivia too!

She looks so much like her little sister did when she was born!

Ella is really in love her new "little sister"!
