olive had many visitors!

we had our families come over.  our moms, dads, sisters, and brothers.  i sadly missed a photo op with the darling dana!  she did visit us within the first week!

my nephew reagan just loved olive!  he was totally smitten.  he wanted to hold her repeatedly, it was so sweet.  he loves watching her and seems so fascinated!  it’s so adorable to see.

unfortunately, i missed the photo op with dana and the biondo’s!  lori, jay, aj, and jake came to visit us the first week.  lori did snapped a photo with me and olive but not vice versa {wah wah}!

we had andrea and frank visit us.  it was a double whammy.  they came around the second week of us being home and blessed us with a second visit the third week on a saturday!  the second time around, frank finally held olive lovingly…not so much like the football hold he had on her the first time!  it was so funny to see him awkwardly hold her like he was running for a touchdown!

then her auntie missy {who was on vacation and then sick} was finally able to visit!  she’s a natural with her {being a mommy herself!} and just loved little olive!  already such a great bonding relationship between them.  so adorbs.

yay!  carol was in town for the holidays and she came over in the afternoon on friday to come see the little peanut.  she spent the entire afternoon and early evening at our place.  it was so nice to relax and catch up with my bestie.  plus, it was cute to see her with baby olive…she totally adored her.  i loved watching them together!

later on, ted came over and we hung out for a bit before they headed off to a christmas party that evening.  it was fabulous to be able to spend some time with them!  we love them to bits!

matt and johann joined us on sunday.  johann was a natural!!!  i was pleasantly surprised.  i notice all of my mommy friends are so good with olive {duh!} and those who are not moms are a bit awkward…not johann!  he was so good with olive, he rocked her, he changed her diaper, he calmed her down.  i was very impressed.

thank you to everyone who has paid olive a special visit.  she appreciates it 🙂  much love to our friends and family!
