"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013"

Dear Olivia,

I turned my back around for a few seconds and you snatched a cookie from my plate and stuffed in in your mouth. Mommy's camera is always close by darling so I not only caught you, but snapped a picture to treasure and share this funny moment with you one day!

Love,

Mama

Dear Olivia,

You love all things round and bouncy! You spotted this ball while we were doing grocery shopping at the store. Your face lit up, you pointed at it and smiled with excitement. Of course I got it for you, sometimes the "no unnecessary purchases" rule just has to be broken.

Love,

Mama

Dear Olivia, 

Your Daddy is my greatest hero too! God picked you and I to have the strongest and most handsome man in the whole world!

Love,

Mama

Project "Finish it up!"

It's no secret that I love crochet. When my awesome hubby bought me a couple of crochet books while I was pregnant with Olivia I was thrilled at all the little garments I could potentially create. I instantly fell in love with this dress and early this year I embarked on making it for Olivia. Along the way I realised that it was going to turn out massive, probably a size 4-5 years. I meant to fix it, but never got around to doing so and to be honest after procrastinating for months I had lost all inspiration to carry on with this dress. Today I felt inspired to pick up the piece that I had crocheted so far and create something from it. And voila....a super cute, super funky scarf/cowl for Miss O in literally 10 minutes! Man, she looks so adorable in it and the unexpected bonus is that it doesn't seem to bother her, she had it on for the whole afternoon and seemed very comfortable.

I love the feeling of "finishing up" a project!

Dear Olivia

Your new love-hate relationship with doors is hilarious. You exert all energy, tears and all into closing a door, then when you finally do you scream because it has shut. We open it for you...then the same cycle goes on and on and on! You are one funny girl.

Love, 

Mama

One of my favourite photos from week 26 was of this little dude soaked up on water. Oh my cuteness!!!
