4 months

Olivia is four months old today! She is a true joy and I'm so thankful that God picked me to be her mommy. I know I wrote about it my last post, but she is happier these days. Every day I wake up looking forward to taking care of her. I love seeing her smile when I go to get her from her nap, watching her blow bubbles, listening to her talk, seeing her smile when we walk into the room, and even feeding her in the middle of the night. Obviously, I would love to sleep through the night but I am growing to treasure this nightly feeding. I know it won't be long before she sleeps through the night (hopefully!) and I think I may miss these times with her.
I know people say that babies at this age can't have separation anxiety issues, but I think she has a small case already. The three times I've left her with people (this doesn't include Jeremiah..she's totally fine with him) in the past 2 weeks, she has cried. Luckily, I've been in the next room or only been gone for a short period. All three times she has done the exact same cry. It's like she's afraid. I haven't heard this cry any other time. It breaks my heart but also makes me feel kind of good that she wants her mommy.:) She stops pretty soon after I pick her up. I just hope it doesn't happen when I go back to work. That will make going back even more difficult for me.
Below are some random pictures from the past month. We love our darling girl so much and fall more and more in love with her every day!

4th of July..well actually the 5th of July because it rained.
We went to Chicago on the 2nd of July and came back on the 3rd. It was a fun trip. This picture isn't great of Olivia. She was smiling. But..the guy who took our picture seriously took 3 minutes to take it. We thought he had taken it and he said he was just trying to get it positioned correctly. So by the time he took it, this is what she was doing. Our blue eyed girl

*We took Olivia to her 4 month doctor's appointment. She weighs 12 pounds 15 ounces and is over 23 inches long. Olivia is in the 37 percentile for height and weight.
