Well I am a bad blogger:( I have been really bad about keeping on top of our blogs and posting pictures so I am going to attempt to do 3 or 4 blogs over the next couple days and then blog once a week with updates and pictures!! I am not promising anything but I will attempt to be better!
So for this first blog I need to back it up a bit to the beginning of May, Olivia was 3 1/2 months old and doing really well. Here are the highlights form the beginning of May
-She holds her head up amazingly well and is always looking around at everything she can see!
-Olivia is rolling over really well from her front to her back but still gets frustrated and needs help getting back on her back from her tummy, silly girl:)
- We tried her out in her Jumperoo toy and she loves it!!
- We got her a bumbo seat which she loves and likes that she can sit up and look at places she has never seen before
- Mommy had a birthday on the 4Th and got to celebrate her first Mother's Day on the 10Th. We just spent the day with Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Jeff for lunch then took Olivia shopping for some new spring summer things!! Angel took me out for dinner and made the day special!
-Olivia has lots of pretty new outfits that she has finally grown into or that we bought for summer and I have to take a picture everytime we put an outfit on her so we have lots of pretty outfit pictures!!
We have been swaddling Olivia since birth as she really seemed to love being swaddled and she slept so well so we just kept swaddling her. Once she grew out of her old swaddle we bought her a new velcro one so she couldn't break loose in the night and wake herself up. Well over the past week or so she seemed to cry and fight more and more when we would swaddle her, but I was so scared that if we stopped swaddling her she wouldn't sleep as well so we kept swaddling her, well on May 13Th we went in to check on her and she was on her tummy all swaddled up!! Not so good so I panicked a bit wondering what would we do??, she's never gonna sleep, I even called the nurse at our doctor's office for some advice (crazy I know). Well we decided not to swaddle her we just did her regular bedtime routine and put her in a sleep sack where her arms were free and laid her down for her night prepared to be up most of the night as I was sure she would keep waking herself up and not sleep. Nothing.....Nothing....she slept the entire night without waking up once, in fact she went to sleep better than any other night, she used to still cry and fuss a bit once we laid her down and left the room but she settled down to sleep without a beep!! Awesome girl we were so proud and excited and I was so relieved, I had built it up like it was going to be horrible but she proved me wrong and taught me to "chill out Mom, you will be amazed at what I can do"!!
We also had Olivia's 4 month check up on May 15Th! She did great the doctor said she is doing awesome, right where she should be. He thinks she is pretty strong and said developmentally she seems to be right on track!! Here stats were:
Weight: 13lbs 6oz 55Th percentile
Length: 24 1/4 IN 55Th percentile
Head: 16 1/4 IN
So she did great, she got her immunizations and ended up with a bit of a fever and feeling a little rough the rest of Friday and into Saturday but all in all she did great!!
We are so proud of our little sweetheart! I fall in Love with her more and more everyday. Angel and I still can't believe we actually have her and she is 4 months old! We are so blessed and God is so amazingly good!
So I have posted some pictures below and will update a gain in a day or so with the next couple weeks we are behind on. Enjoy!!

That's so funny, we have so many of the exact same toys as you! I love the colored blocks, and we have that same ring with all the different colored beads. They are getting so fun, every day it seems like they can do something new doesn't it? :)
She is so very precious! Love the rolling over pictures and the jumperoo. You are both so very blessed!
