Life with Olive through our month milestone photos.

Oh, what a joy it has been to be the mom to this little miracle baby girl. If you’ve been around here for a while, you know about our journey to Olive.  Years TTC and then going through IVF was the hardest thing we have ever done, but BOY was it worth it a million times over! These photos may not seem like anything too interesting and let’s be serious – they are mostly here for me to look back on.

My favorite thing about this is probably watching her hair grow. SO CRAZY.

ONE MONTH WITH OLIVE <3

wearing the cutest magnetic me gown. we looooooved these when she was a newborn. so soft and made diaper changes sooo easy. this is the outfit she came home from the hospital in, too, which makes it even more special.

SMILING AT TWO MONTHS <3

I ordered this personalized onesie for Olive off of Etsy and was hoping to take her first photos in the hospital in it. BUT, since she was in the NICU and things went a little differently than expected, we didn’t end up getting those photos! So I wanted to use it here. It was real soft and real cute. One of those things it was really hard to put away when she outgrew it.

OLIVE AT THREE MONTHS OLD <3 SITTING UP (kinda)

I remember taking this and propping her up, with her still being pretty wobbly. I had one hand on the chair to make sure she was stable. GOSH, seems like yesterday.  And we loooooooved this Roller Rabbit ‘fit from my friend Liz. She wore it for a while and watching the next few months in photos is a real flashback.

FOUR MONTHS OLD <3 

Olive was NOT having it for this day. I was trying to keep her attention with the rattle and she was majorly teething, so she wouldn’t take it out of her mouth. For some reason, I really loved this photo and once I got it, that was the one. Perfectly captures who she was at that time.

SIX PRECIOUS MONTHS OF OLIVE <3 

Funny thing about the 6 month photos! We got her all dressed, took the photos (see photo at the top of the post) and then afterwards realized we forgot the 6 month card. So we had to do it again the next day. But gosh, she is just the cutest thing in all the photos! The little toes. And the little outfit.

SEVEN MONTHS WITH OUR GIRL ON THE GO <3

It is getting harder and harder to keep Olive still for these photos! At 7 months old her personality is coming out and she is the sweetest, smiliest, most fun girly.  She is giving us a hard time with her sleep, so luckily she’s cute   Her hair is getting so long that we pretty much have to put the bows in her hair each day. Here are our favorite bows that come in a giant pack and are real affordable from Amazon.
