I think it's normal to hover with your first child and then loosen the reigns as you have more or as they get older. Kid of like that diaper commercial where with the first kid the mom is having everyone sanitize their hands before holding him/her and then the second kid she's handing him off to a dirty mechanic, ha! Y'all seem to be great parents and Olive seems to be one happy camper so keep up the good work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526100005714921162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845564247295785989.post-61480581807017267422015-03-13T20:56:45.799-04:002015-03-13T20:56:45.799-04:00Awe - sweet Olive coming down that.

Sounds like Hayden yelling zombie stuff, Allie and Krissy in fairy land, and Austin being rough and tumble!

Especially when they are enjoying new experiences or are so fearless they'll head dive right off the steps (that was us this weekend!). I keep telling myself to enjoy the moments now!!<br /><br /><a href="www.ktcupoftea.com" rel="nofollow">Katie @ Cup of Tea</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03393712822982750561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845564247295785989.post-69878258562498999262015-03-09T15:50:19.270-04:002015-03-09T15:50:19.270-04:00Love this!

But as my first child, it's hard not to hover!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627885797946156939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845564247295785989.post-41522989414760968592015-03-09T11:41:13.914-04:002015-03-09T11:41:13.914-04:00I'm a hovering mama!
