Olivia- 4 months

Olivia Grace is 4 months old! The past 4 months have been amazing. Our sweet little Olivia is growing fast. She goes to the peditrician tomorrow for her checkup but I would guess she's between 14 and 15 pounds... she has lots of cute, little rolls and a pudgy tummy. She doesn't miss a meal! She has be exclusively breastfeeding for 4 months now.

She loves to be tickled and talked to- she has the best laugh! She can roll over but she rarely does it. She prefers to just play with her toes or squeal really loudly! Olivia is sleeping better at night now. Usually only waking up once before 6am and sleeping mostly in her crib.

We love our Olivia so much! She has been such an amazing addition to our family! It's hard to remember what life was like before she joined us.

Olivia- 8 weeks old

Olivia Grace is 8 weeks old today. She is getting so big, so fast. She's already in size 2 diapers and some of her 0-3 month clothing is getting snug. I would guess that she's about 12 pounds now but we'll know for sure when we go for her checkup next week. Her nighttime sleeping is getting better. She still starts out the night in her swing but moves to the bassinet when she wakes up between 2am and 3am. She'll sleep there until about 8am. I'm surprised When she is awake, she's such an alert and happy baby. She smiles when you talk to her and coos in response.

Olivia- 7 weeks old

Olivia Grace is 7 weeks old. I cannot believe she's almost 2 months old but it's also hard to remember what life was like without our Livi. Olivia is still eating good and her sleeping has gotten better. She's actually sleep in her bassinet now! She's still taking naps in the swing and starts out the night in the swing but sleeps the rest of the night in her room, sleeping in her bassinet. She's also sleeping for longer streches: 4-8 hours for her first stretch and then 2-3 hours the rest of the day. She also loves to fall asleep on her belly, laying on my legs.

My favorite thing this week has been the amount of smiling that she's been doing. Her smiles are just so super sweet!

Olivia- 6 weeks old

Miss Olivia is now 6 weeks old. Where has the time gone?! My sweet little girl is giving us lots of beautiful smiles now and many more coos. Here's her pretty smile today:

She's got a great appetite and enjoys feeding time. Momma is also quite proud- we have made it 6 weeks of just exclusively breastfeeding. This is a big accomplishment for me. To be honest, I wanted to give up the first few days. It was so hard and so painful but it was well worth it. She's a great little nurser and is growing beautifully. I am hoping to nurse her for at least 1 year. We can do it!
