September 1, 2011: The Arrival of Olivia Wild Olsen

So Miss Olivia Wild Olsen joined our little family on Thursday, September 1, 2011, at 10:24pm.  She was a nice size baby at 9.02lbs, and 21" long!  A whole lot of Nate-size baby to fit in my not-so-long abdomen; hence my mega-rotundness from 7 months on ;0P 

Poor big sister Lauren was feeling under the weather the day Olivia was born, so she didn't get the chance to meet her until she came home/was 2 days old...And when Nate sat down on the couch with Olivia, Lauren became a bit protective and crowded him too--giving us a cute photo-op, picture titled "Daddy and Girls".

And wouldn't you know it, it only took Lauren 8 days to figure out how to pull Olivia's hair.  We've taught her the nice and gentle head and back strokes, but she threw in a little hair-tug at the end of the nice-baby stroke.  Also, she really likes to do more of a slap-stroke or slap-pat to Olivia, depending on how close I am in proximity to stop her...oh she's smart! :0) But I've got a stronger will (I think), so I'll break her slap-stroke/pat yet!
