Olivia's 10 week photo shoot

I finally got around to taking some newborn naked baby photos of Olivia.  My camera is not a very good one and the blanket I used wasn't very big so you can some of the background in the pictures but overall I think they turned out pretty good.  It doesn't hurt that I have the cutest subject in the world to work with.  Isn't she just a doll?

Olivia's blessing day

We blessed Olivia on Sunday and everything went great.  She didn't cry at all during the blessing and when it was over Jared held her up and she smiled at everyone.  She was such a good baby all day and we had lots of family over afterward to eat and chat and celebrate with us.  We are so glad that Olivia is in our family and we love her so much!

Here's the whole Butler family now: Abbie is 7, Leah is 5, Porter is 2 1/2, and Olivia is 2 months old. 

Olivia in her beautiful blessing dress.  I made this dress in a sewing class in college and I'm so glad I put all that work into it because we've used it for all three of my girls.

Sticking out her tongue!

Happy smiling baby!

Smiling Olivia

Here is an adorable picture of Olivia from today that I just had to share.  She started smiling a few days ago and it is the cutest thing ever.  It just makes all the sleepless nights, pain, and poopy diapers worth it.  We love our little Olivia!

It's a girl! Introducing Olivia Rose Butler!

We finally had our baby and it's a girl! Olivia Rose Butler was born on March 29th at 4:06 pm.  She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz and was 20 inches long.  Everything with the labor and delivery went well, I was induced and started pitocin at about 10 am on the 29th and she was born 6 hours later!  I only had to push for a couple minutes so it was much easier than some of the labors with my other kids.  Olivia has lots of black hair and chubby cheeks and she looks a lot like Leah did when she was a newborn.  She eats and sleeps pretty great so far and we just love having her in our family.  All the other kids adore her and have been pretty helpful and nice to her so that's been great.  Here are a bunch of pictures of her and our family over the past two weeks.

Before...me at 39 weeks!

After...Olivia at 39 seconds old!  She weighed exactly the same as Abbie and Leah at birth, 7 lbs 11 oz.  I guess I just make them all the same!

Olivia doesn't seem too happy to be here

Porter finally gets a turn holding Olivia.  He loved it so much he kept saying "More, hold baby?"  He loves his baby sister and so far has been really nice and gentle with her.
