You are the dream baby and have been right from the start. Daddy and I always made a great team of two and now we are even better team of three! We had an amazing pregnancy as I carried you and enjoyed every moment feeling you move about we couldn't wait to meet you. I found this poem the other day and it is so true you have already made such a mark on our hearts!
One month ago you decided to make your grand entrance and with our midwife Therese James at our side it couldn't have been a better experience. We all feel instantly in love with you and couldn't be more proud. You are everything we could of wished for and more. You eat well, sleep well and are growing well now weighing 8 pounds 11 ounces, making for a happy you and happy Mummy and Daddy.
We are getting out for more walks now and you seem to enjoy the ride in your pram and both Grandma and Poppa enjoy pushing you along. You are becoming very alert and know our voices very well, always searching to find us if you are being held by someone else. Your little smiles bring us all joy every time we see one unfold. It has become a bit of a game. Over the weekend Grandma was trying to get you to smile and then Poppa came along and you gave him one straight away. You love your showers with Daddy a special time for the two of you. Plus they help you have a really good nights sleep, only waking up once in the night for more food. You and I went out for lunch last Wednesday to meet up with the other mums and babies from our antenatal group. You were such a dream baby and while others had to be picked up and cuddled or feed because they were upset you slept through the whole thing from the time you got in the car to the time we arrived home. These catch ups have become a regular highlight of the week.
You are well loved by family and friends and have received so many presents from people, you got a Bunnykins mug from the Benton family last weekend and some togs from Logan and Lisa on your one month birthday, that we decided to have a bit of fun with a photo idea for some Thank You cards. I drew a stork on the driveway and as you woke I rushed outside with a mattress and blankets to wrap you up on our driveway and the ladder for me to stand on and take a photo of you looking like you were being delivered by the stork.
Today being your one month birthday I also took some photos of you to mark the occasion. Already looking back at photos you are changing and I wanted to make sure I captured what you were like at just one month old.
Oh my goodness Olivia you have grown so much! We miss you so much and cannot wait to see you in just over a month. Lots of Love Aunty Courtney and Uncle Blake
