Olivia Kate

We got to see Ms. Olivia yesterday on a 3D/4D sonogram.  What an amazing experience to be able to see her sweet little face!  She was a bit camera shy for some of it, covering her face with her hands but she warmed up and gave us some great pictures.  

She looks a bit like Hannah with her cute little nose and other facial features.  However, if you ask Hannah who she looks like, she responds with, "She looks like Olivia Kate!"  Hmmm, I think we said the same thing about her when she was born!

She is already on track to be off the growth charts just like her big sister.  I am currently 29 weeks and she is measuring a few weeks ahead of schedule in her height and weight!  The Sneed genes are kicking in!

Already sucking her thumb!
 

Isn't technology amazing!?  More importantly, isn't our Creator amazing!?

Picture me!

Hannah normally would prefer I not take her picture, but today she wrapped Curious George around her waste and said, "Picture me!"  When she does want her picture taken, she will tell me that I have a set number like five (no more, no less) and she will determine the place and the pose.

Proud Big Sister

 

We got to see Olivia Kate this morning on a 3D/4D sonogram.  What an incredible experience!  The regular sonogram is always so awesome to see, but to really see her face was so much fun.  I'll post the pictures soon so you can see better.  She has the same cute little nose that Hannah has!

Chet thought it was a great way to spend his birthday today!

Happy Birthday, Chet!  Love you!

"When I'm Six"

Not the best quality picture, but I couldn't help but post it.  I love the look of pure happiness on her face.  Hannah has asked us multiple times for a new puppy but we just can't make it work with our "on the road" lifestyle.  We have told her, "When you are six, then we'll talk about getting a new one."  (Which means in three year old thinking, "We'll get a puppy when I am six!")  In the meantime, we just have fun with Pepe, Nana and Papa's dog!

Getting Ready with Mom

 

Hannah loves getting ready with me in the mornings.  She combs her hair and puts on her "makeup."  We have quite the conversations when she is in there with me!

Kinect Fun

Hannah received a couple XBox Kinect games for Christmas including Kinectimals.

Love hearing her big belly laugh as she teaches her cheetah to do something!

Photo Project 365

I have never been one to really make New Year's Resolutions.  Striving to be better in all aspects of my is something I hope I am continually doing all year long and not just the first month of the year.  I do have one goal for the year and that is to learn how to use my camera better and just to take pictures of daily life.  

It is become a habit to only take pictures for special occasions like holidays and birthdays or when we are on vacation.  InstaFriday has helped capture some of the little things in between but even on "normal" weeks of work and school, those pictures are rare.  I want to be able to remember the things that we do daily and not just her running up to see Mickey (although that is an awesome memory, too!).

There are versions of this all over the internet.  My goal is take a least one picture a day for the next year and to blog the photo daily.  Of course, I will continue blogging all of the special events, but now there will be things to see in between (which should make all of the grandparents happy!).

Here is today's photo.  Love that sweet smile hiding under the box!

Happy New Year!
