Back to work

Back to work for me...part time. Thursday was my first day back and it was rough! Rough in the sense that it was exhausting. The whole day was a production from getting out of the house at 7:30 am, dropping Olivia off and Grandma and Grandpa's, going to work, coming back for lunch, and then back to get Olivia home. We weren't home until 6:30 pm and all I could do was lay on the couch. It will be 2 days per week for now.

Well, remember what I said about Olivia sleeping through the night!?! That went out the window a few weeks ago. She now only sleeps maybe 5 hrs at night and she is hungry each time she wakes up. She takes about 3 naps per day which still vary with time and length.

My little princess is very social. She does not want to be left alone or put down very much. She will stay in her swing for a short period of time only if I am there close by watching her and singing to her. She seems to like the "Elmo Song" when I sing it to her. I remember Erica liked that one too.

Olivia will be 4 months in another week! More to come...

Our little princess

Olivia is now 13 weeks old. She can now officially suck her thumb! She still loves her binky though...She has a habit of getting up in the middle of the night but will go back to sleep with her binky and music. She is asleep around 9 or 10 and is awake at 3:30 or 4 when she is hungry. She will go back to sleep for a few hours after that first feeding.

A few nights ago (Jan 16th), we were in a car accident. It was a very scary experience. We were rear-ended at a stop light by a Tahoe that was going about 45 mph. The idiot driver never hit the brakes. Baby Olivia was in her car-seat and we thank heaven that she and everyone involved were ok. The entire front of the Tahoe was in our trunk and the glass of the back window shattered. Olivia, Erica and I were all in the backseat and Eric was driving. We were extremely lucky that we all suffered just a little soreness and nothing more severe.

3 months!

Olivia is officially 3 months old in the new year! She began sleeping on her side and sucking on her fingers. She still loves her binky though~ When daddy laughs really hard, Olivia imitates and giggles along! It practically has me in tears because it is so darn cute! Olivia is enjoying her Baby Einstein play center from Grandma and Grandpa Laine. When she has a lot of energy, we like to put her in there and play with all of the colorful toys and listen to all the animal sounds. Olivia also enjoys her Baby Einstein play gym at Grandma and Grandpa Revitz's house. She can lay there for an hour listening to the music and looking at all the colorful toys. Her nickname for now has been "yummies" because she is still so delicious!

Almost 3 months old!

Olivia will be 3 months old on the 4th! She discovered her toes! She looks at them and stares in amazement! She is also more focused on her toys. She'll reach for toys and sometimes grabs onto them. She gets more antsy in her car seat. She wants constant attention and would rather be held than in the car seat...can you blame her!?!
She does like to sleep...she will sleep 8 hrs some nights! She is just delicious! Here is a picture of our little princess in her white shoes and headband ~yummy~
