Just a Normal Saturday...

Or NOT! Justin surprised the girls with baby GOATS! They went to pick them up this morning, and WOW are they FUN! They will eventually live at Grammy and Pop's, but until they are weaned, they will live at some friends' house nearby. The next couple of days
Here are a few pics from our eventful day!

Payton is a VERY GOOD eater!

In other news, Liv liked her tummy today!

Pop held Olivia for the first time today... She isn't too fragile anymore:)

(I think she could see her reflection in the table!)

She loved snuggling with her Pop!

Sweet girl was getting sleepy!

Not too sleepy for one last smile for Grammy:)

What a day!?! I love my family and spending time watching them grow and take in the world:)

March Pics

March has been a fun and busy month for the Bassetts! There have been some big milestones and great accomplishments for my girls!

Lizzie can ride her bike without her training wheels! I am sooooo proud of this girl, because she has worked incredibly hard and now gets to enjoy the fruit of her labor:)

Sister Love!

Lainie was Shining Star and we got to celebrate her birthday since preschool will be over before May 31st! (She made certain that everyone knew is wasn't her REAL birthday, we were just celebrating.)

Barbie Car is a pretty cool show and tell!

The Turtles singing Happy Birthday to my sweet Lainie. The sweet girl in the green is Lainie's bestie at school and their birthdays are just a day apart:)

Of all the yummy special treats Lainie could pick from, she chose Popsicles to share with her friends.

I'm so thankful to get to be this girl's Mommy!

Showing off Popsicle Tongues... Oh to be 3 again!

What precious friends Lainie has! Thankful for Preschool!

Watching some Strawberry Shortcake with Nana.

What a gift that Liv gets to know her great grandparents! Granny and Grandaddy love my girls so well!

Super Hero Day and the lovely and amazing Butterfly Girls!

Beautiful Lizzie

Lovely Lainie

Butterfly Power!

We Celebrated 7 Years of being Husband and Wife on March 12th!

4 Months...

Pretty Girl got several days of being the Only Child while big sisters were at Grammy and Pop's!

A little fun after a sink bath

(why in the world did I not do this with my other girls? Forget the baby bath tub!)

Fingers... YUMMY!

Feet, AMAZING toys:)

There is something VERY special between these two already!

Getting a little ab workout im

TOO MUCH! I can't get enough of this little love!

Olivia Rae is growing like crazy!
Things you should know...
She is our SMILIEST baby:)
Liv LOVES her sisters.
Though Olivia can roll from her back to her tummy, she is still trying to decide if she likes her tummy.
Sweet girl now goes to her class at CityView... her squeals in Big Church called for this!
She is a fan of the exersaucer.
We have offered her avocado, but she's not quite sure about it yet.
She's a spitter... not nearly the volume of Elaine, but enough to warrant a bib.
Sleep still varries... 12 hours some nights or 8 hours another.
She has us wrapped around her sweet little fingers!
Olivia Rae is an incredible GIFT!

Olivia 3 Months

Our sweet baby girl is such a joy! I am convinced that there is little better than listening to her coos and giggles and receiving a HUGE smile in response to seeing my face. Liv is content and happy most of the time; she definitely wins our most chill baby award!
We still haven't quite reached a consistent sleeping pattern at night. Liv has gone as long as12 hours, but lately she has been waking a couple of times in the night to sneak some extra calories:) During the day Olivia does well eating every 3 hours and being awake for an hour+ and then sleeping until her next feeding. In the spit up arena, Olivia falls somewhere in between Lizzie (practically none) and Lainie (did anything stay down?). I have started putting a bib on her to avoid outfit changes.
Olivia is content to lay and play on her activity mat or to snuggle in someones arms. Her anger does show itself though when you dare to place her on her belly. Tummy time is for the snakes! I'm in no hurry for this sweet one to crawl and such, so I don't force the issue:)
The hymn I sing over Olivia before each nap is Great is Thy Faithfulness. I feel so incredibly blessed by the gift of Olivia Rae. God has faithfully carried our family, and I celebrate the daily mercies He has granted us through our baby girl. We love you so!
