Olivia turns TWO!

I know everyone says this but it is so true!... they grow up so fast! What happened to my little baby? I can't believe I have a two year old. We sure love having Olivia in our family. She makes us laugh every day. She is so loving and helpful. I never knew kids could bring so much happiness.

The pictures are out of order, but I'm not going to fix it.

My family came over on Sunday afternoon so Amanda and Seth could be here to celebrate.
The cake was a better experience this year. She wouldn't even eat it last year. She actually gagged when Tyler tried to get her to touch it. But this year she just dove right in (well, after everyone stopped staring at her and putting her in the spotlight!).
The last thing I said to Tyler before everyone arrived was, "Don't let me forget to change out of this t-shirt." But, I was trying to finish Olivia's "2" shirt and forgot. I remembered 1/2 way through the party when Tyler snapped this shot of me. Olivia was spoiled by everyone. Princess toys, a new dress, new outfit, a little cookie set and more. Every time she opened a gift she wanted to get the toy out of the package. Maddie kept trying to get her to move on to the next gift. I don't think Olivia quite understood that each package contained another toy! She was so caught up in whatever she was looking at that she just had to open it!
My mom even wrapped the gifts in Princess wrapping paper. Olivia was delighted!

Haley and Will.






Tyler's mom & dad came over on Monday night (her actual birthday). By this time she had figured out that inside those presents were TOYS! She couldn't wait to get them opened.

Happy Birthday! Your right time really does fly by. I feel like we haven't seen you guys forever. Thanks for all your support and kindness the past couple of months. Your children of course are beautiful. Hope to see you soon.

Meagan! Olivia is so cute - love the pictures!

You know you told me that if Will had been a girl he would have been named Amelia. Well if this one had been a boy, he would have been named William! Isn't that funny!? In fact, if/when we have a third, if it's a boy it will most likely be William (it's a family name and we LOVE it).

Anyhow, I also love Olivia but didn't want our first two kids' names to start with an O, lest everyone think we're doing the Duggar thing. LOL!

Hi Meagan,

It's Hannah from While They Sleep. Your family is adorable and I LOVE the 2 shirt on little Olivia! I may or may not be copying this for the twins this month when they turn two (and I'm with you...they grow up way too fast!). By the way Olivia is my mom and favorite cousin's name and is on the short list if we have another girl. Thanks so much for your comment and YES I'd love some good WW recipes!
