3 months already!?

Before Olivia was born, I thought I would constantly be updating this blog with new pictures and information about her. Now, I just don't think about updating this blog. Here are a few pictures and updates on Livi girl. I still can't believe she will be 3 months on the 29th. The time is going so quickly.
1 month old
2 months old



Almost 3 months old at Dave and Lauren's wedding


Here are some other random pictures...

This is how Livi usually looks when I go into her room after naptime. Her smile melts my heart everytime!:)


Here she is playing with her favorite toy. I think she looks like she thinks the elephant's foot is a microphone. Is she going to take after her Daddy?



She looks like such a big girl in this picture! Olivia loves her Daddy so much. Anytime he walks into the room she smiles.

Love it when she is cuddly!

*The past three months have been very challenging but extremely rewarding. Olivia is such a joy and we are incredibly blessed. We can't thank God enough for blessing us with a healthy, energetic, and loving baby girl. Here are some highlights of the past three months...
-Livi started smiling around 4 weeks old.
-She slept through the night 3 times at the end of May and 3 times in the middle of June. Most of the time she still wakes us at least 1 time to eat and then goes back to sleep.
-Olivia can sit in her bumbo seat holding her head up for a short period of time.
-Livi likes to pull up and look around the room.
-She enjoys being outside. If she is fussy and we take her outside, she immediately stops crying and holds her head up to look around.
-Around 1 1/2 months Livi started to play the "tongue game" with us. We will stick our tongues out and then she will stick her tongue out at us. She has initiated this game a few times.
-Livi loves to talk to us. She likes to make us laugh!
-Olivia loves her Daddy. Jeremiah can calm her down like no other person can. She starts smiling the moment she hears his voice.
-For a few weeks Olivia has been on a four hour schedule. She wakes up at 7:30a.m., eats, plays, and then goes down for a nap around 9:30a.m. She usually sleeps for 2 hours but sometimes she sleeps for 3 hours! Then she will eat around 11:30a.m., play until 1:30p.m. and then take another nap. She will usually sleep from 1:30p.m.-3:30p.m. Then she will eat, play, take a short 30 min. nap around 5:30p.m., play, and then eat her final feeding around 8:00p.m. I am very thankful that she likes to take long naps during the day!:)
-Daddy always feeds her at 8:00p.m. He likes spending this time with her.
-Olivia has acid reflux. She takes medicine every night before bedtime. When she was very little she woke up every 20-30 min. screaming in pain. We felt so bad for our tiny baby girl. After they put her on medicine (around 6 weeks) she started sleeping better! Thank goodness she feels better most of the time. Sometimes we can tell she is bothered by the acid. She tends to gulp, gag, choke, spit up a ton, and cry in pain. But..we are lucky that most of the time the medicine takes away the pain.
-Ceiling fans have become her new best friends. She can stare at them for hours!
-Livi weighed 10 pounds 10 ounces at her 2 month check up.
-Olivia gets very excited when I make the fish face.
-She now notices her hands and feet.
-Loves to suck on her fingers-most of the time she would rather suck on her fingers then take a pacifier.
-She can't sleep without being swaddled. The miracle blanket has helped her sleep better. She can't break out of it!:)
-Livi hates taking a bath and screams for a while after getting one!
-Olivia likes to watch me work out.
*There are so many more wonderful things about our Livi girl. These have hands down been the best 3 months of my life. It's hard to describe the happiness I feel when I am around my girlie.:) Hopefully I will be better about updating this blog in the future or at least before she is 6 months old!:)
