Oh Christmas Tree!

Today, we went and got our first real family Christmas tree. We decided that for our First Christmas in our new house and Olivia's First Christmas deserved a real tree. We traveled to a local Christmas tree farm and picked out a beautiful 10ft tree. We got it all set up tonight but we will wait until later this week to decorate it. I love the way a real Christmas tree makes a house smell. I am excited to start making Christmas memories in this house!

2 Months Old!


Olivia is 2 months old today! She is laughing, smiling, and making more noises. She stays awake a lot longer now and loves to play on the floor. Olivia is sleeping great at night. We go to the doctor on Monday to find out how big she is now.

Sleeping in Her Room!

Last night, Olivia slept in her bed for the first time. She did great! She fell asleep right away and slept through the night. I hope this is a pattern that continues.

Here are a couple of pictures of her room.


Dresses!

This weekend Olivia got to wear her first dress. She received the cutest Butler dress as a gift. She decided to get dressed up and go to the Butler game on Saturday. We saw the Bulldogs get their first regular season win against Davidson. Olivia slept through the whole game again. The cutest part of this dress is the Bulldog on the butt! I do have to say it almost made me cry seeing my sweet baby in her cute dress. She enjoyed this dress so much that she decided to sport her Colts dress on Sunday for the Patriots game! She tried to stay awake for the whole game with Noll and Molly while Scott and I went to the game (Thanks guys for watching her!). Scott and I had a great time at the game and were happy to get to use our season tickets finally.


How cute is this?

Olivia's New Blanket!

My friend Sarah from college came to visit this weekend and brought Olivia the above blanket. It is a beautiful blanket. I can't believe that Sarah can make such neat gifts. She is so talented at so many things. Olivia loves to play, do tummy time, and take naps on it.

In the past week, Olivia has really started to smile and make baby noises at us. It is really fun to watch her react to Scott and I. She is really changing every day. Olivia slept through the night for us on Tuesday which was great. She slept from 9:30pm to 6am. This was the second time she slept through the night but the first for us. She had slept through the night for my sister Kristen about 2 weeks ago while Scott and I were in Chicago for the night. I guess Olivia wanted to make a good impression for her Aunt Kristen so that she will watch her many more times in the future.

Here are a couple of pictures from the past week.


Ready for bath time.

Peacefully sleeping.

Sweet Dreams.

Go Dawgs!

Olivia's First Butler Basketball Game
Last Sunday, we went to the first preseason Butler Basketball game. This was Olivia's first Butler game. She did great! She slept for most of the game. She wasn't phased by any of the noise. She made it through the whole game without crying. Hopefully, she will be this good for all the games we go to this year.
One of the few moments that her eyes were open at the game.
