One month old!

Olivia showing her self off.

Now a little camera shy.

On Wednesday Olivia turned one month old. Audrey wanted to throw her a birthday party with balloons, cupcakes, and music. I told her that Olivia was too young to enjoy a cupcake, and as you can guess Audrey offered to eat one for her. Our party plans were ruined by a massive temper tantrum (Audrey), gas (Olivia), and extreme exhaustion (Mommy). We will try for next month.

Since Olivia's arrival life has been slightly hectic, but we wouldn't trade it for anything (not even a full nights sleep). Olivia is such a great baby. She loves to cuddle, in fact she hates to be put down. Jeremy and I are such suckers that we indulge her and one of us always has Olivia in our lap. Her first two weeks were slow with weight gain due to feeding issues, but she has made up for it. At her two week visit her weight was 7 pounds, 10 ounces (her birth weight was 7 pounds, 13 ounces and she dropped to 7 pounds, 3 ounces)but at her one month visit her weight was 9 pounds, 5 ounces. She is back on track and eating up a storm. I am sure that she will be off the charts just like Audrey in no time. Unlike her big sister, Olivia is no fashionista. She hates getting dressed, and the more fuss an outfit requires the more she fusses. She loves getting dressed at night though because that means comfy jammies. (Just like her Mommy) Olivia does love having her hair brushed. After her bath last night I was brushing her hair and she started smiling and cooing. It was the cutest thing ever! I tried to put a bow in her hair but it is still too short - it will happen soon enough. (You knew this was coming as Audrey had a bow in her hair every day for the first two years.) I think that Olivia has adjusted to life in our crazy house just fine. She sleeps right through Audrey's singing, yelling, screaming (happily), and being covered in dolls and My Little Ponies. Thank goodness she is so mellow - I hope it will last!
