I'm FINALLY blogging!!

Many people have said that I should start a blog so here I am. I won't say that I love writing, but lately I have had so many thoughts about life and about Miss O that I decided to give it a whirl.

For my first post I thought I would write about select moments with Olivia. She is growing up so fast and I just don't want to forget these times:

• Olivia must have been about three months old and I was sitting in my rocker feeding her and holding her. She was so tiny. I remember hearing the birds chirp and I didn't have a care in the world other than this precious baby. I remember thinking this is THE BEST. It didn't matter that she had Down syndrome. She was MY baby girl and I loved her to pieces.
  
  
• At one of Olivia's therapy sessions we were working on going down a slide. She got to the bottom and with a big smile on her face gave me the biggest hug ever. Over and over again. Her hugs can melt my heart.
  
  
• Hearing her laugh makes my day, week, month and year! We recently went to a gym for kids with special needs (but is great for ALL kids) and I was throwing into a foam pit. She laughed and smiled and LOVED it.
