Visit with Santa

Olivia had her first visit with Santa at the beginning of December. She was happy to sit on his lap and seemed to enjoy it. She also had her Christmas photos taken the same day and did very well in front of the camera.

Thanksgiving

I'm quite behind on posts for this blog. Olivia enjoyed her first Thanksgiving at Nana and Papa's house. (although she slept through dinner, but that was ok as Mommy and Daddy got to enjoy their meal) We then headed off to Grammy and Grandpa's house so they could spend a little bit of time with her.

George

I'm not sure if Olivia loves Curious George as much as her mother, I guess time will tell. Here is a picture of her with her friend.

Halloween

Although Olivia is too little for trick or treating this year, she still needed a costume to celebrate her first Halloween. Here she is in her pumpkin costume.

Autumn at the Lake

We took a trip up to Lake Winnepesaukee over Columbus Day Weekend. The weather and fall foliage was wonderful. We took Olivia on her first hiking trip. 

Also, thought this fall display was a terrific photo op!

Apple Picking

We took Olivia on her first apple picking trip at the beginning of October. This was her first adventure in the baby bjourn. She seemed to like it.

Olivia's First Month

Olivia had many visitors at the hospital and at home during her first month of life. In August her cousin Ahshayla and Uncle Michael came to visit from California. Here is a picture of Olivia with her three cousins, Ahshayla, Samuel, and Julia. (Olivia is the smallest one)

Olivia had her first professional picture taken, she didn't cooperate during her photo session (we tried twice in one day), we managed to get one good first month photo.

Olivia's Arrival

Olivia Marie Sousa was born on July 24, 2008 at 1:55 am, just a few hours shy of my due date. As my friend Jenn said, I am a planner so it would make sense for her to come on or close to my due date. She was born on a stormy summer's night with lots of heavy rain, no surprise here as it poured rain on her parent's wedding day which was also in the summer. She weighed in at 6 lbs, 8 ounces.
