Olivia is really engaging with the world around her. She spends a lot of time looking at our dogs (Dixie is sharing her blanket), at us and at some plastic toys that hang above her. She likes to give us smiles but I haven't been able to capture it on camera yet.
This is a collection of stories and photographs to chronical the Fowler family's adventures as we grow.

Summer in December
Last week it reached nearly 80 degrees in asheville. It was the warmest its been since Olivia was born. I think she really liked the warm weather. She also loves it when her cousin Tatum comes over to play. Tatum absolutely loves Olivia too. I even got a picture of one Hayla, Olivia and Tatum sharing the couch. Its a fun playgroup!
Decorating Olivia's First Tree
Toasty nights in Front of the Fireplace
Asheville has been having some beautiful weather but the evenings get chilly and we have found Olivia really enjoys laying in front of the fire and listening to Christmas music. This night I layed her down as she was waking up from a nap. Olivia layed ther for about an hour. She was so happy and relaxed. I had to take a video of her because it was a memorable evening.

Tuckered Out
Olivia's First Christmas Tree
On Saturday we went to cut down our Christmas Tree. We went with our friends Corey, Kim and daughter Natalie and Glenn and Janessa and their brood of 5. It was a beautiful day- sunny and 60 degrees. Olivia wasn't in one of her better moods that day but it was still a memorable day. Since Saturday Olivia hasn't been real happy but we have figured out she has been having her 6 week growth spurt. She seems to be coming out of it now though.
Lazy Afternoon
I am learning many wonderful things as Olivia's mom and today was another beautiful time. After nursing, Olivia fell asleep on my chest. I had mounds of laundry and a dirty house but I took the time to enjoy cuddling my angel. After a while I laid her on the bed on her tummy (which she loved) and watched her sleep. She reminds me to savor every moment and to realize what is truly important, not laundry or houswork, but time with the ones we love.

Olivia's First Christmas Experience
Olivia had her first Christmas experience last Sunday. She got to be a part of putting up the tree at Uncle Kevin and Aunt Angela's. She had lots of fun watching everyone decorate the tree including her cousin's Kaelin and Tatum. After it was all done she was tuckered out and fell asleep in her chair while she watched the lights on the tree. It was a lot of excitement for a little angel.
For Your Viewing Enjoyment
Thanksgiving in Asheville
Thankksgiving last weekend was so much fun. Olivia got to meet her Nana and Papa (her Dad's parents), her Uncle Field and Aunt Isabella. Olivia soaked up all the attention. There were plenty of disagreements about who got to hold Olivia next. She was spoiled with lots love and gifts that grandparents give. Olivia also learned that card playing is important in the fowler family as she sat in on lots of games. It was a nice weekend and at the end her Mommy and Daddy were glad to have a chance to hold her again! Olivia can't wait till her Nana and Papa and Aunt and Uncle come back.
