Olive update

Hi all!
I hope this message finds everyone doing well.  Olive is kicking and squirming her way towards 4 months of age and doing great. Lately she has been entertaining her parents with giggles, smiles, chirps, screeching and other gymnastics of the tongue.

We took our first airplane ride last month (exhale!) on a short hop flight to Denver to spend time in the mountains with my family.  Baby-girl was wondering what mom was so stressed about! I'm happy to report that the dirty diaper Gods smiled upon us.  We made it all the way from our front door in KC to Denver and to lunch in the city before we had to deal with a major blowout. Thank you very much!

While normally an eager traveler, as a parent I seem to have lost some of my travel mojo. Just packing for the trip took me forever and left my nerves a little thin (in the end, I packed WAY too much stuff!).  I guess like everything else with parenting, you just need to adjust and relax about some things.  And with traveling, you need to plan for extra time. Accept the fact that you are now the person/group of people that you previously tried to avoid being behind in the security line!

While we were in Vail, Olive was a little young to hit the slopes but she got to model some of her warm snuggly outfits (its almost been too warm this winter in KC to really wear them!).  She also got to check out the village in this sweet ride - mom figured out a good use for the cupholder too!

Here's another recent pic of the baby-girl mugging for the camera.

 Our little beauty is still a champ in the sleeping department.  She's gone through a few growth spurts where she wakes up hungry a few times at night but for the most part, she's figured out the many benefits of a good nights sleep! Bravo!

 

Here's to wishing everyone a wonderful Spring season with many new beginnings and blessings for us all.
