Way too fast...

Well... 2 things have happened. The mobile had to come out of the crib. Grrr.... there is a white knob on it that faces into the crib. Well little Miss Olivia thinks that is the coolest thing ever and has bumped her head on it more than we would like. So and 1:45 a.m. last night it went bye-bye. She is such a wild woman in her sleep. She ends up all over the place. Every time I check on her she is somewhere different. On her back, on her side, 1/2 way turned in the crib, on her tummy on the opposite side of the crib... kinda funny but not. The whole bumper/no bumper issue is freaking me out. I know that everyone says no bumpers but how do you keep them from bumping their heads on the crib rails?? If you have a solution, please let me know. We put one bumper up along the side and it still worries me every night.

Next Olivia today learned that she can sit up in her bouncy seat. I am assuming soon the bouncy seat will disappear. But I love the bouncy seat. It is the best invention so I can eat dinner and she can digest after eating. What will we do with out it??

See what I can do mom?? Not only can I lean over to find my feet I can sit up like a big girl in my bouncy seat!

Still working on that oatmeal and the head being Not tilted. She hates her exercises but we need to keep doing them!!

Someone found something

Today Olivia and I went to Gymboree again. Olivia did better- still a little crying but better then the last time. While we were there she was sitting in my lap and I noticed her looking at her feet and touching them. I just kind of blew it off....well when we got home, someone found something new....her feet. She still is at the beginning stage of it but I am sure soon they will make it to her mouth.

Back to School

Finally this week we started our part time routine. I am working until about 11:30 each day and it is weird to leave work while everyone is still working. I am trying to get used to being home and finding a routine for myself. Hopefully in the next few weeks that will all come together.

Today our FABULOUS neighbors did us a HUGE favor and watched Olivia while I had to go back to school for a meeting. All three of them endured a crying spell which I feel awful about. But they got her down for a nap and she woke up just as I got home! We are so thankful for Karyn, Kristy, and Shawn for coming over and watching her!!!!!! Thank you soooo much.... maybe some cream puffs will be in the works this weekend for you too!

Caught Olivia by surprise! I wish she just didn't have the face boo boos! She keeps scratching herself in her wild sleep. She is ALL over that crib during the night! If you can't tell her neck is starting to get better- we hope. We have been doing her exercises which she does NOT like at all!!

P.S. As I write this we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Olivia's friend Peyton! Dawn and Steve we are praying for a happy and healthy delivery! We can't wait to meet Peyton!

Sunday Fun

Today was a nice relaxing day since I go back to work tomorrow. I am ready for a new school year to begin. Clothes, snacks, and pencils are sharpened and ready.

Here are some funny pictures from today...

Reading a book in the Bumbo seat

For some odd reason she kept trying to eat the tree today.

Eating oatmeal with daddy.

Relaxing Saturday

Mommy was so happy that I slept until 8:00 a.m.! I slept almost 12 hours!! Mommy was so tired from working this week. I can't wait until next week when she comes home in the afternoon. I sleep through the night when I feel like it. I like to surprise mommy and daddy when I do it.

I woke up today with mommy. I was on my tummy in the crib in a completely different spot from where mommy put me to sleep at. I was good at eating my cereal today. I really like oatmeal- I ate 1 Tablespoon tonight. That rice cereal is for the birds. Mommy and me had lots of fun today. I have missed her all week. We played lots. The only thing I don't like are my stretches! We have to do them 3 times a day and they are no fun!!

XOXO

Reading the newspaper.

I like to look at the pictures.

Playing in my bouncy seat. I like to smile. Smiling is my favorite.
