Olivia had her 4 month check-up and shots this week and handled them really well – no fever, just a stuffy nose for a few days. Her stats were as follows: 13lb 7oz, 26 3/4in, 17cm. It’s just crazy how quickly she’s growing… Continue Reading
Why do I feel like our updates have been the same for weeks? Maybe because this Wonder Week 19 / 4 month sleep regression / wakeful period feels like it has lasted forever. Well, this week Olivia’s sleep was decent (as in, waking twice… Continue Reading
Do I jinx us if I say that Olivia’s sleep issues peaked this week? Call it 4 month wakeful, 4 month sleep regression – whatever it is/was kept us on our toes with 1h 30 min wake-up intervals at night and naps… Continue Reading
Olivia started majorly scooting this week. I lay her down on her back on the play mat, and within minutes, she’s on her tummy and off the mat. I think that part of her frustration was due to the fact… Continue Reading
We reached a pretty big milestone this week – rolling over! Olivia gave us a glimpse of it 2 weeks ago when she rolled once but completely forgot about it. Well, she can now officially roll over from her back… Continue Reading
This week, we continued the “hands” theme from Week 12. Last week, Olivia was starting to grab toys, her bottle, and anything she could get her hands on. In Week 13, it seems like she spent every waking moment working… Continue Reading
This week was intense, but hopefully Wonder Week 12 and the 12 week growth spurt will soon be behind us. On Monday, Olivia started waking to eat every three hours during the night, and she officially made the transition from eating… Continue Reading
Just as we were sleeping through the night, O decided to change things up on us during the first part of the week. I’ve been anticipating Wonder Week 12, so I’m not sure if I’m reading into her behavior, but… Continue Reading
Week 10 was a busy week! Olivia had her two month checkup and vaccinations on Monday. I was terrified; when we had our Hep B #2 shot, Olivia’s reaction was excruciating to watch, and now there were four shots to… Continue Reading
Has it been two months already?! Instead of hours and days, we’ve measured this time in sweet looks, dirty diapers, chubby toes, night-time cries, pump part cleanings, books read, ABCs sung, smiles and coos. And as long as those late… Continue Reading
This week, Olivia was extra fussy and very clingy at night. One late night in particular, she fell asleep on my chest after eating. When hubby tried to gently pick her up – she was in a deep sleep, mind… Continue Reading
This week we sort of started getting the hang of a routine. Head up to bed around 8:30/9PM, put Olivia’s PJs on, talk quietly or read a book, feed, swaddle and go to bed. While her sleep was quite restless… Continue Reading
Olivia’s personality is definitely starting to shine through as she starts to develop preferences. She absolutely loves being washed, changed (especially by daddy), bird sounds, and looking out the window (especially while sitting in her Snugabunny swing). She has smiled the… Continue Reading
There must be some word to describe the phenomenon that takes place when you’ve finally quieted down the baby and slowly climbed into bed, holding your breath, waiting for the crying to start up again and hoping it doesn’t. A… Continue Reading
