Liv's week

I know there are a lot of them, sorry. I just had a ton to choose from! And she is just so darn cute! Enjoy!



They had her dressed in the cutest little pj's.


This was right after she woke up. She was a sad little thing! But yet so good!


Going home about an hour after her surgery! That purple dino.... so funny...



She was so cute that afternoon! She was a little green between the eyes for a few days :)


Her and Brody after we took her bandage off. He was so intrigued.


Her hair was so funny.

Olivia's Surgery

So, Liv had her surgery on Monday of this past week and she did so great! We got to Primary Childrens at 6 am, can I tell you how hard that was for me, and she had a check up done to make sure she wasn't sick or anything before they put her under. She was good to go! We waited about an hour in this room with all these other kids that had things going on that morning as well. When they finally came to get her, my emotions got the best of me, but whats new. We got to walk with her down this LONG hallway, I really don't think it was that long but it seemed to be that way, then the Dr took her from me. I handed her her most favorite stuffed animal, which by the way is a purple dragon, and she rubbed her face in it and forgot all about me! I cried all the way to the waiting room! It was so hard to let my little baby go and not know EXACTLY what was going on in that room! We waited about an hour or so then a call came into the room. The lady at the desk asked us to sit in a private room so the Dr could come talk to us. I was so scared! All the other parents waiting had their Dr talk to them right in front of everyone. We waited about ten minutes then he finally came in. Turns out he just doesn't like to share your news with everyone else! He told us that what they removed from her head was a hemangioma tumor. Its a cluster of veins that can grow very rapidly, which happened to her. He took out all that he could see, but there is a small possibility of it growing back. It also left a depression on her head so we have had to keep her all wrapped up this past week so it doesn't fill up with fluids. She was really cute with her bandages! For just having surgery she was pretty happy! I am so grateful for all of you who kept us in your prayers! She is doing great and I can't wait to see my sweet little Liv with a new look! I can't get my photos to upload, but I will get them on here asap! They are so funny!

Whats new?

So, here is what has been going on in our lives. Olivia is nine months old! She is actually starting to get a little bigger :). We had her nine month check up and she is doing ok. Her iron is low and she is kind of yellow, but we really won't know for sure what is causing it until we have her surgery. They are going to be removing a lump on her forhead above her left eye on Feb 23. Then they will do some labs on it to determine what it is exactly. It may be causing her to be having these other problems. So we will find out soon! She is so cute though. She is going through this weird phase where she is making incredible faces, as shown! She is crawling around like crazy and finally sitting up on her own. She is such a mommy's girl!



Brody is also doing well. He is 21 months old! Its crazy how fast they grow up. He is talking so much! It is so weird how one day they can just put sentences together. He is getting so big I can't keep up! His new thing lately is he can jump and get BOTH feet off the ground! He also loves the progressive commercials, I have no idea why, but he laughs every time. As he gets older he is really letting his personality show. He is so special.




As for Spencer and I, we are just tring to be the best parents we can. I am working at a salon in Saratoga Springs a few nights a weeks and Saturdays. I really love it! I didn't think I would ever love going to work. It's so fun! Spencer is working for a company called Visual Creative Media, digital advertising, and it is really starting to pick up. I am so proud of him. He is trying so hard to make it so I don't have to work. But after being at the salon, I don't think I will quit when I can :) Hopefully I can get myself to start doing this more often!

Thank You.

We will always remember this Christmas, thanks to everyone around us for all your generosity. God bless you all.

Well...

I know I stink at this! It has been super crazy at the Lott house. I know its not much but we are all doing great. I just don't have much time to really get into it! Love you all and will post again soon with better updates!

Just a Quick Update!

So, I really find it hard to find time to post anything lately... It's 3:00 in the morning and I can't sleep so this is a good time! Brody is getting so big! Its crazy! He is trying so hard to talk! His attempts at sentences are so funny. Some of his common spoken words consist of Mommy, Dada, monkey, cookie, cracker and ba ba and many more (just can't think of them all). It's really cool to see how little kids start to associate words with the actually item. I couldn't find his shoes the other day so Spencer asked him where they were and Brody took Spencer to his laundry hamper. Spencer was a little confused the he looked in and there they were! He knew what they were and where he put them! I sure am one proud mommy!



And can't forget my Little Olive! She is so precious! She is still really little, 5 months old and just over 12 lbs! Yes, I do feed her. Her pediatrician says she is growing on her curve so she is just fine! The poor girl's head is just so big to her body she really can't hold it straight up for a long period of time. It really is fun to just watch her grow, slowly but surely! I did see the other day that she found her toes!



As for Spencer and I, nothing too exciting. Spencer is just finding his niche at his job and is really starting to love it (I think). I am still watching my niece during the week, but only to the end of October. I sure will miss her. I am just finishing up with my softball I have played this fall. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays... Never doing that again! My life has just been crazy! But I sure did love it! Hopefully I won't wait so long for my next post.... Love y'all!

My Niece...

I found this picture of my niece, Alexa, on my sisters facebook and I had to show everyone how darn cute she is. She is two and a half and is full of personality! She calls me Caca! She loves to play with all her little cousins and is so sweet with all of them. Mandy, you really do have an angel! We sure love her!
