ONE

Olivia Lea,
One year ago, we didn't know if this day was going to be celebrated with colorful polka dots or baseballs! We knew we were about to have a beautiful new baby, but we didn't know it would be our sweet Olivia! In fact, Livi, the majority of our close family and friends predicted we'd have another boy! We went along with their guess, and thought we'd be welcoming Thomas Ryan to the world! We were so happy to hear the doctor announce "It's a Girl!" I just cried, knowing that our new little baby Olivia was here with us! You have been such a sweet little girl from day one! You have the best big brother and big sister in the whole wide world, which makes life just that much sweeter!! They love you to pieces and have since the first second they met you! You have your daddy wrapped around your finger, which works out nice for extra treats and cuddles at bedtime! Livi, you are just such a gift to all of us! We love to hold you, cuddle you, play with you, and laugh with you. You are a bright light in every one of our days. We are blessed to have you with us. As we celebrate your first year, we are just so excited for the year to come. We know you will just continue to blossom. You already say mama, dada, duck, dog, and no. Who knows what all we'll hear from you in the next year! You still just crawl around, but I'm sure you'll decide to walk sometime soon! Livi, you're off the charts according to the doctor's height and weight graphs. We know that just means you're bound for a super-star future!!! The sky's the limit, baby girl!
 Livi's favorite food! Spaghetti!!
