Ward Family Moments: Olivia turns 1!!!

Life has been whizzing by now that I have returned to work. But we still have been having fun! Olivia turned 1 on April 14th, weighing in at 21.5 pounds, and 29" long. She is in the 50% percentile for weight, height and head circuference. She has developed a spit fire attitude lately. It is probably a defensive mechanism against her sister who's new past time is beating her sister.

Watch out Audrey, Olivia is getting ready to retaliate!

The weekend before Olivia's birthday, we celebrated birthdays with 2 of our good friends. These photos were taken at MY GYM where Avery celebrated her second birthday.

Olivia loved the ball pit!

Olivia turned 1 on Wednesday April 14th. Since mom and dad had to work, she went to school and celebrated with her teachers and friends. Teacher Violet threw a birthday party for her, and dad bought pizza in to share. Olivia had a party with balloons, party hats and presents. Teacher Violet took lots of photos, but I don't have any on my computer to share. Here Olivia is modeling her new sunglasses that go with a matching purple out fit that was gifted to her at school.

And big sister needs to try the glasses on too!

Olivia is loving her new day care. She gets very excited when we drop her off each morning and has made many friends there. She has been there for a month now and she has not once cried when we drop her off. This makes my life so much easier!

Here she is chilling on her new bean bag chair. Getting ready for the big party weekend.

I think I went a wee bit overboard with Olivia's birthday cake, but it was worth it!!

Surprise! She is playing in the climber. She loves that thing lately, but not to worry she is still to small to climb up and go down the speedy slide.

Time for cake!

Blowing out the candle

The big cake was quickly replaced with a small smasher cake for Olivia to eat all by herself. It took her 5 minutes before she began to dig in. All of the other kids were testing their patience.
