Olivia--One Month Old

Our little Olivia is growing up so fast! She is trying to hold her head up more and more, and she gives us big smiles! She also gives big smiles to the ceiling fan and the fish in her swing. :) She is eating well, and her cheeks are getting so chubby! She is also sleeping well--she goes right back down to sleep after eating, not even using the paci. She takes her paci great, though, and puts herself to sleep for naps. She's been doing well with the general routine of eat-wake-sleep, but mostly we just go with the flow.

She likes her sister, which is fun. She likes to look at her, but mostly she just tolerates Elena getting in her face all the time. She likes being in the SnugglyWrap, which we use every few days at home, and often when we go out.

We love our tiny kid! She is such a blessing to our family. It's been a hard month, adjusting to the changes in all of our lives. Keeping two kids fed and entertained and happy takes a lot of flexibility, a lot of creativity and a lot of prayer! Getting out the door takes way longer, haha. It's been an adjustment for Elena, for sure, having to wait for what she wants, not being able to do as much as we could before. But God has been faithful to give us all the rest we need, peace and joy even with all the changes and challenges!
