Happy 3 Months!

I decided to start this blog because I wanted Olivia to be able to read about her childhood once she is older. Since she won't remember most of the adventures we take her on and all the memories we have of her, she will be able to read about it and see for herself.

Our sweet little one has definitely stolen the hearts of many. I feel like so much has happened this past month, but it's really just because she grows more and more each day. I honestly try not to flood my Facebook and Instagram feed with photos of her, but it's hard not to when she's so cute.

At her two & a half month check-up, she received three vaccinations and one orally. To our surprise she handled them pretty well. I thought I would actually cry, but I held it together pretty good. You seemed to have a small fever the day after, but we gave you some Tylenol and that took care of it. You had some grumpy days after, but we weren't sure if that was from your vaccines or normal grumpiness.

You weighed 13.15 lb. at your appointment on April 11th. You're currently drinking 4-5 oz. in a bottle and nursing every few feedings. Those beautiful blue eyes are still with you although we know they are going to change to brown. You have your daddies long eyelashes and you're mama's temper. You have been sleeping through the night since around the end of March. You're the happiest baby in the morning and pretty grumpy in the evenings from 6-10. You started out with a head full of hair, but it's slowly turned into a mohawk like your daddy used to have. You're full of smiles and a constant chatterbox.

You enjoy: being swaddled & sleeping in your swing, bath time, when Mama makes silly faces and sounds, spending time outside, evening strolls in your stroller, when your daddy pats your bottom; it puts you to sleep, Olivia The Pig, your rattle and squeaky elephant (Kiki), Granny & G-papa, and visits from Abuela.

You dislike: tummy time, being dressed, having to wait while we warm a bottle, and a quiet house (you constantly need to have music playing or TV on).

We are still working on tummy time and sleeping in your crib.

Having a pep talk with dad before vaccine time.

Those baby blues all swaddled up.

Naps with dad.

Today (3 month's) was spent with Granny. We took your 3 month photo, she watched you while I ran to the store, and you napped on her for 45 minutes. When your daddy got home, we fed you and then took a walk around the neighborhood. I tried reading "The Three Little Pigs" to you, but I got half way through the book and you lost interest. We're ending the night with you passed out on your daddy.
