Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Olivia has mastered this rolling over thing! At least from her belly to her back. I mean what's the point in rolling from her back to her belly - she'd rather be on her back!

She can roll left:

She can roll right:

Isn't she getting so big??

Olivia has also had a rough couple of days. I told you all that she had a little virus last week. Well apparently, as babies will do, she put her hand in her mouth then rubbed her eye and gave herself a case of Pink Eye! Yuck! Her eye was all gooky on Sunday so I brought her to the doctor's yesterday morning and they gave her a prescription for some eye drops. So I stayed home with her. It is already looking a LOT better. Fortunately she hasn't been feeling bad, just had a yucky looking, goopy eye.

Other than that, we have been doing well. She is getting cuter by the minute and LOVES to hear herself talk and squeal these days. She is always so smiley now and it has been a long time since she has been really fussy for us. She used to get pretty fussy in the evenings, but now she just plays and is generally a happy baby. We are having so much fun with her these days. Here are a couple of cute pictures I took the other day:

Cute little girl!

Look at those cute little chubby hands!

What a little angel!

4 Months Old . . . already!

Hello everyone! Well, baby Olivia is now 4 months old and she is learning something new every day! We are working on learning how to sit up, still have a long way to go, but she can prop herself up with her hands a little bit now. Here's a video of us *attempting* sitting up for the first time:

Olivia has also started squealing and screaming (sometimes at the top of her little baby lungs!) for absolutely no other reason than to hear herself. Here's a snippit of her getting all excited screaming and kicking:

We still cannot get her to giggle again - I am sooo glad we caught it on video since she won't do it again. Tonight I got her pretty close, but she was mostly just excited and screaming at her reflection - not really laughing! Oh-well, maybe next time.

Here are a few pictures for you all to see how big she is getting:

She's pretty smiley these days - what a sweetie!

Sleepy little girl!

Here she is on her 4-Month Birthday!

Well, little Olivia got sick this past week. We had my friends over to scrapbook Sunday and Randy and Gracie came over with Sara to hang out with Grant and Olivia. Olivia was pretty fussy that whole day and wouldn't eat much. Sara noticed her pulling on her ear and we started to worry that she was getting an ear infection since Grant had a ton of them when he was little. Well, I called the doctor on Monday and they wanted me to bring her in to check it out. Turns out it wasn't an ear infection (thank goodness!), but she did have a little virus. Apparently she had some sores on her throat that made it hurt to swallow and that's why she wouldn't eat. Fortunatley we just had to give her some tylenol for a few days to get rid of it. Once we started doing that, she was back to her little piggy self! Yeah! (by the way, she weighed 14 lbs 12 oz with her clothes on at the doctor's office. The little piggy had gained more than 3 lbs since her last appt!)

Here's a video we took of her when she was passing out after her last bottle of the night. She is always pretty pitiful when it gets close to bedtime - but isn't she just the cutest?!?!

Here's another video of her first thing in the morning. Whenever we get her in the morning, she always gets this big smile on her face when she sees us and holds out her arms for us to come and get her. We always love seeing her first thing in the morning!

Ok, well hopefully all the pics and videos will make up for me not blogging in a while. My project at work is running me ragged and I've been home doing work every night for the last 2-3 weeks so, I don't have very much free time anymore. This project should be over in the middle of december, hopefully I'll make it that long without going crazy! Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well.

Finger Painting!

Guess what Olivia did at daycare today???? She made her first finger painting (with help, I'm sure!). How Fun! Anyway, when Grant went next door to get her this afternoon, Angela shoo'd him away and told him to come back in little while. Turns out, Olivia was making us a picture as a surprise! She even used Halloween colors, too! Of course, it is hanging proudly on our refrigerator, but I made a scan of it to show you all how talented she is! :)

Growing . . Growing . . Growing . .

Olivia is growing like a weed and learning something new almost every day! She has become a pro at rolling onto both of her sides and grabbing her toys and playing with them. She loves her toys and getting her musical ones to play. She has actually figured out how to hit the button on her toys to get them to play the music! She has also discovered her feet this week. Now, whenever she gets her diaper changed or is just rolling around playing, she grabs her feet and can even pull her socks off. In fact tonight when we gave her a bath, she almost got one of them in her mouth! I'll try to get a picture of her hanging on to them for you all to see.

She is still having a great time next door at daycare. She absolutely loves Miss. Angela and Miss. Muriel and they just adore her, too! I'm sooo greatful to have them right next door and to have it work out so well. It helps so that I can also focus more on work because I don't have to worry about her! They even play dress-up with her everyday! She never comes home in the same outfit that I put her in in the morning. ha ha. They take her for walks, read to her, excercise her and work on her kicking and pulling on things. She is always really worn out by the time I pick her up.

Well, my parents were here last weekend to see the little one and Grant's parents came up this afternoon. Little Livi is quite popular! Here are some pictures from this past week through today for you all to see how big she is getting!
