Meet Baby Olivia, 10 days old at her newborn session! She looks like a doll with her perfect skin and pouty lips. She was fun to shoot! Check out this sweet note from mommy and daddy to baby!
Our Dearest Olivia,
A year ago you were just a dream and today you’re a dream come true…
On March 31st Daddy and I were blessed enough to bring you into this world and since that day you’ve filled our days with happiness and love. And although we’ve only known you for just a few short weeks, we already can hardly contain our love for you and find ourselves more in love with you and with each other with every day that passes.
As you’ll read in your monthly “Letters to Livy” that Daddy and I are keeping for you, your birth was quite a big day in our family. You arrived on March 31st at 7:37 a.m. after 29 hours of contractions, weighing in at 7 pounds and measuring 19.5 inches long. In addition to being your due date, March 31st is also Daddy’s birthday and this year it also happened to be Easter Sunday. As you might imagine, Daddy was quite happy with his birthday present this year and the rest of the family was thrilled to receive such a wonderful Easter surprise!
It’s now been several weeks since the morning of your birth and Daddy and I still find our selves asking each other “Is she really ours?” “Could she be any more beautiful?” “How did we get so lucky?” Between your cute little smiles, your soft little giggles, and your warm cuddles and kisses you’ve stolen our hearts.
While we are sad to see the time pass so quickly (it goes by far too fast), each day you amaze us as you grow and showcase new skills and talents. We are so excited to continue on this journey with you and to watch you grow over the next few months and years. Together our family of three (five with your puppies) is creating memories that will last a lifetime and we hope that one day you’ll read all about them and know that you were one very special and loved little girl.
When Daddy and I are old and gray we know that we’ll look back upon March 31st, 2013 and will cherish it as one of the best days of our lives. We’ll never forget the love we felt for you the first time we held you in our arms and we hope you’ll always remember that we loved you then, love you still, always have, and always will.
Love, Mommy and Daddy
