Baby Babbles

Here's a video of Olivia cooing that Russ captured on his phone this weekend.  It's definitely kind of long but that's because she just kept talking. :)

Labor Day weekend

We went to OKC this past weekend and had a great time with our families!

Here are some of our pictures - real camera and cell phone.

Olivia about to get baptized.

With Grammie.

With godmom, Amy.

Hanging with the guys.

Just Chillin'

Olivia received a gift in the mail yesterday from her Great Aunt Marty and she chose to rock the shades right away.

And then she took a nap with Roxy. :)

Two Month Stats

Olivia had her two month doctor's appointment this last Friday.  The check-up went really well and then we got to the vaccinations, which made her really mad. Poor kid. :(

She's 11 lbs 9 oz (53th percentile) and 24 1/2 inches long (97th percentile). She's still really long but on the slender side. She actually still fits in her newborn clothes with no problem; they're at that moment when they fit just right. I've started to put her in 3 month outfits and they're definitely roomy but they don't swallow her. We have so many cute, summery 3 month outfits that I want her to wear before fall really gets here.

The biggest side effect of the vaccinations that we noticed was that they made Olivia pretty sleepy but I still got some happy swing time out of her afterward.  

*Smiles with her fingers in her mouth prove that life wasn't so bad.*

Our Cousin Coco!

Olivia and I met our cousin Coco for the first time this past weekend.

She's beautiful! I mean, seriously, look at those eyes, that hair, that smile!

Coco is, I think, my third cousin and Olivia's fourth cousin, which is why she's so tall and I'm so short. 

While we were hanging out, some more of our family arrived and it was so much fun because none of them had met Olivia yet. (This is a terrible picture but it's the only one I got.)

Coco was curious about the other baby. :)

Too bad Olivia slept through this entire experience. She definitely missed out on some awesome cousin-time.

Yay, Friday!

Here are some phone pics - sorry for the poor quality, at least the subject is cute. :)

Just sittin' in her Bumbo like a big girl.

It is imperative that you don't let that sneaky pacifier escape.

Me and my girl.

Would you believe that she had her two month vaccinations only a few hours before this?

Olivia - Two Months!

It's been two months since she was born - wow!

At two months:

Olivia is still a great eater! She eats every 3-4 hours during the day and has one stretch of 4-5 hours every night (more often then not, it's the five hour stretch. Mommy likes.)

She has really learned to love her swing. She has some great happy time in it most days. She likes to take naps in it and she has even hung out in the bathroom while I get ready some days.

She takes a bath two or three times a week and really loves it.  Russ and I like to give them to her together so that we can both talk to her as she smiles and coos at us.

Olivia has been in the Moby wrap and the Baby Bjorn - she took naps in both of them. :)

"Mom, I'm tired of you taking my picture. This has been going on for five whole minutes."

Olivia can be entertained for almost thirty minutes just staring at the ceiling fan in our bedroom.  She actually starts to fuss and get mad if it stops moving.

We did have our first experience of leaving a restaurant because of an crying kiddo this month.  She just didn't want us to get dessert - I'm certain she had our health in mind.

Olivia's personality has really begun to show. She can babble up a storm and tell us all types of stories! Some of these noises really intrigue the dogs, too!

* This outfit is one of my favorites - We first received it in a 3 month size and I was kinda bummed that I would have to wait so long for her to wear it, but then we received it in a newborn size, too. Yay!
