Super Saturday

Today I spent the morning with daddy because mommy went and ran a 5K. She was a little disappointed with her time in the race but the course was 1/4 mile longer then it should have been but she still had fun. I tried my cereal again and I am doing better. For some odd reason I like to smile a lot when I eat it and then it just falls out of my mouth. I played my usual stuff today and no roll overs today.

XOXO

Super smiley when mom got home!

Caught her chewing on the bird thing on her exersaucer.... I guess it tastes good!

Friday I'm in Love

I couldn't think of anything catchy but a song title will do. Olivia is finally getting into a wake up routine. She wakes up anywhere from 6:45- 7:30 a.m. Which is not too bad. We are crossing out fingers but she is mostly sleeping through the night. Even though last night she got up at 4:30 a.m. but took a bottle and went back to sleep. We are still trying to figure out solids- when, before or after a bottle, it is just all confusing! We did not have any roll overs today but we tried and tried!

Hanging on to my monkey toy!

Hi mommy!!

Roll over Thursday

Today Olivia had lots of fun playing and talking. We even had one roll over from tummy to back! I was so surprised that I did not have the camera with me to catch it. I hoped that she would do it again but that just didn't happen. She had lots of almost roll overs from back to tummy today too! Hopefully soon she will be a rolling fool!!

Grabbing the mirror

Almost....

Maybe I will just grab the Boppy Pillow tag and pull myself...

Really mom??

My one misplaced sticking up hair today!

Gymboree

Today mommy and I ventured out to Gymboree! I had no idea where we were going since I fell asleep in the car. I woke up when we got to the mall and mommy loaded me in the stroller. We went to a place called Gymboree. Mommy got a free class for us to try out. She thinks I am getting big enough to go out and meet other babies! I cried a little when we got there because I had no idea what was going on. Then I got out of the stroller and mommy laid me down on the parachute but I was on my blankey. They started singing songs and all sorts of fun stuff. I cried off and on during the class. I think because I was out of my comfort zone. The best part of the whole class was the bubbles. They blew bubbles just for me to welcome me and then everyone got bubbles! I really liked that part. Mommy says we are going to go back again. Hopefully this time I won't cry. But I was able to calm down and enjoy some of the class! Mommy also liked the teacher Ms. Liz. She found out that Ms. Liz is a parent at her school. What a small world! We can't wait to go back to see Ms. Liz and sing songs again!

XOXO

Welcome sign in front of Gymboree! Had to get a picture of that!

After the class...still a little teary eyed but ok!

In the stroller loaded up to go home!

Solids Day 2

Today didn't go as well as yesterday. I am guess I am trying to find that time that will work and that she is happy and eager. But all in all it has been fun and a learning experience. I know to keep trying and not get frustrated. I think I am going to try a smaller amount tomorrow. I can't tell how much she is actually eating. So we will see!

4 Month update

Today we took Olivia for her 4 month appointment here are her stats:

Weight: 13 pounds 7 ounces
Height: 24 inches
Head Circumference: 40.75cm or just a little over 16 inches

She has grown so much and the doctor was very happy with her growth. We even got the go ahead to start solids. So after the doctor we headed to Wal-mart for some cereal.

After Olivia napped we were ready to take on the adventure of her first solids. For the first few minutes she did really good and then she got a little impatient. She is so used to the bottle and the immediate flow of food the pace of food was a little slow for her. So we stopped the solids and I gave her the bottle and then continued with the solids. For the first time it wasn't too bad so hopefully it will get better in the next few days!!

Sunday Funday

Today I woke up nice and early. Daddy was great and woke up with me and let mommy sleep in a little bit. Then I took a nap, woke up, ate and then we went to church. We had to do the 2nd part of the baptism class today. Mommy and daddy thought I would sleep through the class since it was my nap time...NOT! I took about a 30 minute nap there and the other time I stayed awake. I think I am one of those babies that is going to move around a lot because I don't like to stay still in a room. I like to be up and walking around and looking at everything. I was in such a good mood today even though I didn't poop. I am sure I will get revenge on them tomorrow with poopy pants.



P.S. Mommy and daddy said I have to go to the doctor tomorrow for my 4 month checkup! They can't wait to see how big I am!
