Our Favorite Things About Olivia

The other day Yale and I decided to create a list of our favorite things about Olivia. This is a list we plan to keep on the website and add to as time goes on. I know this is probably typical behavior of first-time parents, and it is pretty self-indulgent, but we had fun doing it. Here's the list: -The oh-so-soft skin on the back of her hands -The rolls of fat the surround her knees -When I burp her at night and she wraps one arm around my neck and rests her little head on my shoulder -When she first wakes up, throws her arms over head, scrunches up her face and stretches. This is especially amusing when she lets loose a truck driver-like fart at the peak of her stretch. We are continuously amazed at how such a little thing can pass gas with such vehemence. -The way Olivia?s hair sticks up like a patch of peach fuzz after her bath -The way she smiles when she sees our faces when she first wakes up -How smiling for her is a full body experience; she waves her arms, kicks her legs, and wiggles her torso and head.
