I’m convinced this was an unofficial Wonder Week! Olivia woke up multiple times a night (asking us to fix her blanket, get some water, wash her paci, etc.) and regressed on her potty training (it took extra coaxing to get her… Continue Reading
Could there be such thing as a Wonder Week 82? Olivia has been really clingy and snuggly with me this week, and loves to take my hand and lead me places. She won’t even go into the next room without… Continue Reading
I thought we had escaped Wonder Week 75 (which begins around Week 71), but Olivia had a few particularly fussy days this week. She wasn’t as easygoing as she normally is, and was pretty clingy. In fact, for the past… Continue Reading
I can’t believe we’re in our second-to-last Wonder Week phase! And what a little person Olivia has become! Wonder Week 64 has been pretty tame so far, and I notice that the older O gets, the less pronounced the phases… Continue Reading
This week, Olivia: Had her 12 month doctor’s appointment. O weighs 20 pounds and is 32 inches tall! She had two shots this time, and although she seemed to cry harder, or with more awareness, she was back to her… Continue Reading
Olivia’s birthday was this week, and even though we celebrated with a party last weekend, we had to do something special on her actual day! So, we went to the zoo with grandma and grandpa, who visited us for the… Continue Reading
You guys didn’t think I’d miss posting highlights from Week 52, did you?! Between O’s party and family visiting, I’ve just been a tad behind. It was difficult to tell whether the Wonder Week 55 stormy period passed, because O… Continue Reading
The fussy period preceding Wonder Week 55 is upon us, and we’ve definitely noticed some changes in Olivia’s behavior. Now, if you haven’t been following along (or maybe you have, but need a refresher) I have a post dedicated to outlining the Wonder Weeks… Continue Reading
Well, I have to tell you – aside from a few blips on the radar, our Wonder Week 46 stormy phase was almost nonexistent. At the same time, Olivia has made some pretty cool developmental leaps during this time period… Continue Reading
This week, Olivia: Is incorporating more walking/steps into her usual mode of transportation. She cruises from one piece of furniture or toy to another, sort of like a little monkey jumping from branch to branch. When she really wants something,… Continue Reading
I’m on alert, anticipating the stormy period that precedes Wonder Week 46. I think this may be the beginning of it. Either that, or true separation anxiety, or a combo of both! Our week got off to quite a start, with… Continue Reading
Phew, a bit late but for a good reason. We are still recovering from our first cross-country trip with Olivia, which included a red-eye flight each way. Some thought we were crazy for setting it up that way, but Olivia… Continue Reading
Phew, it feels like so much happened this week! First off, I’m pretty sure we’re in Wonder Week 37 territory. I should probably bite my tongue, but this one hasn’t had too much of a stormy period for us. Wonder… Continue Reading
This was the “non-Wonder Week” Wonder Week! While Olivia made such great strides in terms of development (see below), she was super fussy and refused naps to the point where she was averaging a little over an hour each day!… Continue Reading
This week, Oliva: Officially started crawling on January 9, a few days shy of her 6 month birthday! Ate avocado and didn’t really like it. We’ll try again soon! Loves watching me do stuff around the kitchen – putting dishes… Continue Reading
It seems as though Wonder Week 19 has passed!! This week, there was a significant improvement in Olivia’s mood, sleep and eating. She’s way less fussy – it’s like she’s back to being her fun, silly, smiley self – and… 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
