“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” Elizabeth Stone

Well it has been a pretty long time since I posted last. To be quite honest I haven't had a whole heck of a lot of time between taking care of Olivia and trying to catch up with the household from when I was sick. Tons has happened since I last posted so I figured that it may be nice to bring this up to date.
Olivia is 4.5 months now. She is quickly growing and developing. She has learned to really giggle which melts my heart every time she does it and makes me laugh. She finds the littlest things so funny like shaking a paper in her face or blowing raspberries. Why is it that as we grow older do we become more complex and need more to satisfy our hunger? Why can we not just find amusement in simple things like bubbles and side walk chalk anymore? Having a little one has really brought me back. I love playing with her or singing to her (God help her!!!) and I really don't care who is around to watch me act like a fool. I could be in the middle of a store singing to her and it feels like it's just her and I.
Yesterday she started to growl. She was grumbling before and so Jake decided to start growling at her. She thinks it's funny and yesterday when the nurse was taking her weight she growled at her and has been doing it ever since. It's hilarious!
She has also rolled over and she has tried solid foods. Her first food was pears. She has discovered her feet and it's almost like everyday she's doing something new for the first time.
We went swimming for the first time yesterday. She had so much fun. I am really looking forward to the summer so I can take her to do things outside like go to the park and to the zoo.
She has had her first cold too which was so sad but she only had it for 2 days. I know this sounds crazy but it kind of made me feel like a great mommy. I took total care of her and then looked up if there was anything else that I could do for her so that she would feel better. I had already done everything I could have done. Way to go me!!! :)
Anyways I will be writing more later until then I'm signing off!!!
