Olivia- 3 Months Old!

Chatting with her new bug friends. 

Happy 3 months, Olivia!

3 whole months and only 3 months. I know I'm not the only one who feels that way about babies.

A few Olivia fun facts:

Olivia is good at helping
daddy nap on Sunday
 afternoons.

• As of Saturday night, she can roll from her back to her tummy. She doesn't know what to do once she gets there, but it's still fun rolling, nonetheless. 
• She is VERY active! I need to get a video of it, but she is pretty entertaining to watch as she kicks/runs like mad when she's on her back. 
• She has recently started batting at her mobile
• Her favorite places to sleep are snuggled up in our bed and on daddy's tummy. She's napping next to me on the bed right now. 
• She is quite the social little lady. Cooing, talking, the occasional giggle, big smiles, looking for Craig or I when she hears our voices...
• She enjoys sitting up in her boppy and watching her big sister run around the family room. She tries to bring herself to a full sitting position but her muscles aren't quite there yet. 
• She is quite the spitter. Her uncle Andrew could have won a gold medal in spitting up and I think Olivia is going to break his record. While the height and distance  she can get with  her projectile spitting is pretty impressive, it is frustrating for me. Nursing has

  been easier with her than with Sophie but keeping up has been just as hard. Olivia will eat, burp and then return around half of what she has eaten. And then scream until we give her something else (aka formula) to eat. Pumping and bottle feeding seems to help a bit but let's just say I'm not going to be sad to switch to formula only in a few months (if we make it that long.) 
• She is so little still that even though she is 3 months, she has just barely outgrown her newborn clothes. A few outfits still fit but we're happily using her 0-3s now. If she keeps this up, she'll be able to fit into Sophie's winter clothes perfectly this Fall despite having a 6 month/season swap with birth dates. As silly as it may sound, I am thrilled! 
• Last night we're pretty sure she slept for about 7 hours. That or we were both too tired and didn't hear her cry. Which I guess is possible but her pack & play is right next to our bed. 

Other things Olivia has been up to: 

Resting in the shade with
Uncle Bryan

• Went to 7 Peaks a few times. Sitting on a floating tube, snuggled up with mommy in the wave pool is pretty comfy. 
• Met Uncle Bryan. He's pretty cool to snuggle on, too! 
• Went to her very first wedding reception- congrats Collin & Charity! 
• Went on her first camping trip
• Went to her first ever band camp (she pretty much slept right through it!)

Band camp. "Go Guard!"

At her 2 month appointment, Olivia was behind on most of her milestones. We were told not to worry, she was very likely to be caught up before she was 2 and that she would be on a premie growth chart for some time, as well. In the last month, she has caught up and is actually now doing things from the "some may be able to:" chart. I'm not concerned with her being an 'advanced' child or any silliness like that but I am very happy that despite being early, she is at the very least, right where she should be and then some. 

Happy girl getting ready to go see
daddy for a lunch date.
