10 Weeks of our Olivia



Ten weeks




Our little Olivia is ten weeks old and isn’t exactly little anymore! It is amazing how she has grown and changed! 

Sleep: Olivia has been a wonderful blessing in the sleep department! She often sleeps 8-10 hours a night which is great! This started a few weeks ago. This momma is so thankful!   

Eating: Olivia is still nursing very well!  She is our 13 pound little turkey!  Nursing has been a beautiful, funny, awkward and interesting experience. I am slowly but surely becoming more comfortable with nursing around others.  I wear a cover but they certainly don’t block out all of the funny little noises she makes while nursing.  Like when she decides that she has to hum between every breath or when she kind of pants when she’s not being fed fast enough. Other mom’s might know what I mean by that =) When we were with my family for Christmas she was the source of some laughter for all. Honestly, I cherish the time with her and I Love all the noise. When we were with ALL of the family I did tuck myself away to get some alone time but also because it is a little embarrassing =)  My family isn’t supposed to know that I have boobs!

Diapers: Size 1. We Love pampers. They withstand the force at which her poop shoots out of her cute little butt!  Huggies don’t stand a chance against this little one. 

Clothes: She has been in 3 month clothing for a couple of weeks now. Some of her 0-3mo outfits are too small already. She is in the 45% range for her weight and 95% for her length.  The Dr. said she is long and lean.    

Firsts: Some firsts since my last update include her smiling and laughing at people especially when they are smiling and laughing at her.  She isn’t rolling over yet but she might soon.  She has been turning in her crib a lot and she scoots herself so that she is touching the top of the crib.  It’s fun to watch her lift her legs up and flop them down to move. She has also been to South Dakota twice and has traveled like a champ!         



Olivia’s likes and dislikes: Olivia really likes to be facing outward. She likes to see what is going on and has had fun watching the lights on our Christmas tree.  She doesn’t like to be held in the cradle position for very long.

Mom and Dad Love:  We are really enjoying all of her smiles and laughs.  It’s fun to listen to her coo and laugh and I Love seeing her big smile when I wake her up.  She is so adorable when she is stretching, smiling, and tooting!
