5 months

Olivia seems to have done so much for 5 months already. She's rolling all over the place, she getting more chatty, and she looks like she's about to take off crawling. She does this thing while on her belly where she pushes up and then stands on her feet so her butt is in the air.   The other day she was holding Josh's fingers and just pulled herself up to standing positions and josh was able to walk her a few steps. So not as lazy a Zoey was!  :-)

Olivia has been sleepy pretty well...about 8-9 hours then up for a bottle then back down for another hour or 2 (sometimes that hour or 2 is to start with, before the 8-9 hours stretch).  She loves to watch her daddy and sister play. She is very alert. 

Almost 4 months

Olivia is now officially rolling over both ways! She also likes to suck on things now (don't see any teeth coming thru yet). We tried cereal last night and she did surprisingly well. She didn't fuss and was patient. She didn't each much of it but we'll keep working with her. I put the rest of the cereal in a bottle (and a little bit more) and she slept 8pm - 6am (with a diaper change around 2am). I have no complaints. We got a good baby on our hands. :-)

Making progress

So Olivia has been doing pretty well during the night. Much improvement! She goes down around 9 and won't eat until 3:30/4. She might wake once before then but just to get a diaper change or repositioned (she tends to turn 90 degrees and gets near the slats of the crib). Honestly she could probably go until 6 without eating....maybe I'll try it tonight. :-)

We are getting more smiles out of her but not as often as we'd like. Lol. She doesn't poop regularly therefore is uncomfortable and irritable and wants to be held. She's usually the best for 30 min after having just ate. (And getting as drops)

She is chubbing up and filling out tho! I ordered some toe blooms and can't wait to out them on her cute little feet!

Progress

Well, for a week there we were doing really good at getting up once during the night. But then regressed to twice.... Olivia would wake up at 1:30am each night within minutes of 130. She would then eat again around 4:30. It was time to nip this in the bud! Saturday and last night josh changed her (really wet) diaper at her 1:30 waking and put her back down. She would go back down till about 3 or 4. I can handle that!! So I think we're well on our way with her starting to get through the night.

Now our issue is with her pooping, or not pooping I should say. She will go a week or so at a time without pooping and she's not very happy. Gas drops after every feeding almost. Pear juice and prune juice and nothings really moving her. We'll see what the doctor suggests next...

Olivia 2 months

Olivia is pretty much consistently sleeping 5-6 hours then a few more hours after feeding. Yay!!

Olivia is 9.8 pounds, 22 inches long and the 25th percentile for height and weight. So she's tiny but proportioned.

6 weeks...progress

Olivia is doing very well. A typical night consists of going down around 930 and waking up about 4 hours later then again 3 hours later.

Zoey is doing great adjusting. She does have her cranky moments and doesn't want mommy to hold Olivia but that's really just when she wants something. She likes to give Olivia her paci or blanket. She is a big helper!

This is my last week home with Olivia; I return to work next Monday. I'm okay with going back I'm just ready too get into routine.

1 month old

I can't believe it...seems like we waited so long for Olivia to arrive and now that she's here, time has flown. Olivia is 1 month old today and doing well. She's has had a cold for a week now but we're getting through it.
