Olivia: 14 weeks!

MONTH: 4
WEEK: 14
WEIGHT: 11+ lbs
LENGTH: 21+ in
HEAD:  14+ in
MILESTONES: nothing significant this week. She is just practicing all her smiles getting ready to laugh any day now!
OBLIGATORY ADORABLE PICTURE: Another evening photo, so the chair looks a slightly different color because the lighting is different, but Olivia just looks as cute as ever!
EATING: In case you can't see them she has these lovely baby thigh rolls that are courtesy of her excellent breastfeeding abilities.
VISITS/OUTINGS: We had so much fun while cousin Kayla was visiting and were so sad to see her go.
FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Olivia is still so in love with her playmat we even bought another one for Grandma and Grandpa Nunley's house.
MOMMY FEELS: Happy that my little baby is growing and becoming so much more interactive, but sad also that she is growing so fast. She is already getting too small for some of her 0-3 month size clothing. Avery was always a size behind until about 9-12 months so this is new territory for us! It also means most of the clothes we kept from Avery in the size Olivia is in now are the wrong season.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO: Mommy and Daddy's anniversary night out while the girls stay with Aunt Stacy, Avery's birthday, and visiting Auntie Mandy, Uncle Mike and cousin Penny in San Diego when we go to watch Uncle Thomas at his graduation from USMC bootcamp in September.

Avery, meet Capri. Capri, meet Avery.

For months and months I have been chatting with a girl, Aly, I went to middle school with. We hadn't seen each other in years, but we found each other on Facebook (of course!) and reconnected since she was also pregnant at the time! It turns out she was only 4 weeks behind me.

Her daughter, Capri, was born 9 days after Avery (3 weeks early!) and we have been trying to get together for a while since our girls were born. Yesterday we were finally able to schedule a time that worked for both of us. While the girls are still too young to really know any different, I think that had fun "playing".

First meeting!

Instant friends.

She was exhausted.
(And Lola was only a little jealous -- NOT.)

14 weeks!

MONTH: 4

WEEK: 14

WEIGHT: 12lbs is my best guess.

LENGTH: I would say close to 24 inches. 

HEAD: Round like her mama!

MILESTONES: She is thisclose to rolling over! I really hope I get to see it and she doesn't do it for the first time at daycare. I would just kick myself if I miss it! She is also sitting assisted in her Bumbo seat! (See next post.)

OBLIGATORY ADORABLE PICTURE: Week 14 photo in daddy's chair. She is really starting to fill it up compared to the first one we did at two weeks!

EATING: Still eating 6-7 times per day and 4 oz at a time; however the first one we have upped to 5oz. Since she sleeps through the night she wakes up very hungry!

SLEEPING: Avery has slept through the night since about 6 weeks. And we are very appreciative. She also takes 2 long naps and usually one short one during the day. 

VISITS/OUTINGS: Avery will finally be able to meet her friend Capri on Saturday!

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Sleeping. (Still!) She's also discovered she has hands recently so she likes to see what they can do. So far she has mastered putting them in her mouth as far as they will go until she chokes herself, and staring at them for several minutes without losing focus.

MOMMY FEELS: Sad. I hate being at work because I feel like I miss almost the whole day. I drop her off at 7:30am and pick her up at 5:15. By the time we get home, cook and eat dinner, take a bath, and get her jammies on it's time for bed! 

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO: Hopefully I will be moving to part time very soon!
