"I'm or years old"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR LITTLE OLIE!!!

She was quite the screamer when she was born.

I love it when they sleep and Nicole was a good sleeper,
sleeping through the night after about 3 weeks.


Nicole loved to sleep with her hands by her face.

Her first smile at about 4 weeks old. This is when I noticed her little dimple.

First visit to the emergency room when she was 5 months old. Fell and hit her head. All the nurses loved her because she was so smiley.

I love those BIG blue eyes!!

She has got the BEST smile!!


Nicole loved to paint her entire body, including her face.

Quite the little poser for pictures.

This is when we noticed how much she looks like my sister Mollie. She no longer has to wear glasses, atleast for now.

Our little Nicole is now 4 years old or as she says "Or years old." She had a great day and loved her toys. Mom was alittle weird all day realizing her daughter was now 4, but seeing how excited Nicole was made it alot better. Don't be surprised when you read what she got for her birthday - she loves cars. Anyways, she got a Barbie Car, monster truck, train, and ABC magnets that sing and say their sound. For her birthday dinner, she requested macaroni and cheese, cheetos, and soda. She also loved her strawberry/raspberry cake with Dora on the top. She probably spit on half of it as she blew the candles out, but Warren marked the contaminated zone and we ate off the other side.

Nicole is such a sweetheart and we love her a ton. She is so loving, funny, and caring. This past year has been full of doctor visits (broken arm, stiches, dislocated arm, speech therapists, glasses, and developmental specialists), potty training success, improvement in her speech, first time waterskiing and snowskiing, and new friendships. I can't wait to see what the coming year brings us.
