four months!

Olivia has grown quite a bit in the last month. She's 15 lbs 7 oz and 25 inches. When she's not sucking her fingers, she loves to "talk", giggle and coo and constantly engages friends and strangers alike with her winning smile. The brace has made it difficult for tummy time and her regular aerobic routine on the Gymini, but she has started to grasp objects and take the pacifier out of her mouth (can't put it back in yet). After about 7 different doctor visits (dermatologist, allergist, pediatric dermatologist, pediatric allergist, naturopath, and pediatrician), we think we've got the eczema under control allowing Olivia to sleep much more comfortably (and us to sleep a litle bit more!). It's been a great summer with our little angel baby.

A Visit from Mimi and Zayde

Olivia was snuggled, held, rocked, entertained and loved by her grandparents. Joey and I even got to go on a date one night while Mimi held a very itchy Olivia in the glider for hours. As you can see the brace hasn't slowed this little one down, or stopped her from being a very sweet and happy girl.

3 months...and 2 days

She's a beauty...though a hairless and toothless wonder. O remains a happy baby while fighting eczema (really bad eczema). She faces all the ointments and creams like a champ. Our little Buddha baby has found her fingers, loves sitting up to see the world, and is developing some strong neck muscles.
