Olivia Rolls

Today while we were waiting at the doctor's office for Olivia's 2 month check up she was practicing her tummy time. I turned my head for one second to look at Avery and when I turned back she was on her back. I couldn't believe I missed the very first roll, but I put her back on her belly and tried to get her to do it again. She did it two more times before I could get the camera to record. I finally got it on camera on the last attempt because after 3 tries she was not exactly happy to be doing tricks for me.

Father's Day 2012: Pictures

This Father's Day was Justin's first Father's Day with two daughters. Aside from Avery not feeling 100% we made the best of it. It was such a fun day.

Father's Day 2012

Last year I took some pictures with Avery holding the letters to spell D-A-D. Since Olivia is a little young to hold any letters I wanted to find something to do craft with the girls. I saw something like this on the internet and I thought it was so cute.

I love the way it turned out.

Catch up: Olivia

 

Olivia has been showing interest in reaching out for things. She actually grabbed this toy on her playmat all by herself!

Big girl!

Olivia: 8 weeks!

MONTH: 2
WEEK: 8
WEIGHT: 8+ lbs
LENGTH: 20+ in
HEAD: 13+ in
MILESTONES: Nothing exciting this week. We are just working on tummy time and that head control.
OBLIGATORY ADORABLE PICTURE: It's hard to get them taken on the same say of the week every week, so this one was taken this morning at 8 weeks 2 days.
EATING: Still exclusively breastfed and loving at.
VISITS/OUTINGS: We now have a a little boy, Jax, every day for a few hours. He is 16 months old so he mostly plays with Avery, but he seems to be noticing Olivia more and more lately.
FAVORITE ACTIVITIES:Olivia loves to face outward when you are holding her in your lap or face the big picture window in the living room when she is laying on her play mat. She is just so interested in everything going on around her.
MOMMY FEELS: Tired. With the addition of Jax every day it's exhausting. There is no sitting with 3 kids under the age of 2.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO: I would like to say a vacation, but there isn't one in the near future.

8 weeks!

Today Avery is 8 weeks old today, but she isn't technically 2 months old until next Monday.

Avery this week:
- has started noticing her hands. She will sometimes spit out her paci to suck on her hands instead. She hasn't really gotten the concepts of the fingers yet though because she makes a fist and sucks on her thumb while her fist is closed.

- has started a weird every other day habit of pooping, which at first made me nervous, but apparently is perfectly normal -- and I don't mind the fewer poopy diapers to change!

- has grown very fond of bath time. If she is particularly fussy, I can just put her in the bath and she is happy as a clam.

- best of all she has started sleeping through the night! I don't want to jinx us, but the last 4 nights in a row she has gone to sleep at 9:30 and woken up between 6:00 and 7:00!
