Olivia at 4 Months....

Our little one is officially 4 months old and I can't believe how quickly the time has flown by! She's 14 lbs 13 ounces (down from last month's weight check) and 25 inches. For some reason, we've come up with the nickname "Boo Bear" for Olivia and it's pretty much all I address her by. Olivia adores her big sister and loves to sit in her Bumbo seat and watch Sofia play with her trains and make up stories. She literally lights up every time she catches Sofia's eye and Sofia is very good to her too. Olivia has really started talking a lot and is a happy little girl, especially if she's being held and carried around the house or wherever else we might be. Not that she doesn't like to sit in her Bumbo seat or in her reclining chair, but she definitely prefers to be carried around a part of whatever is going on. She's pretty easy to smile, even at people she doesn't know and I wonder if she'll be as outgoing as her big sister.

Olivia does have an unusual schedule that seems to be sticking around. First, she's still a fabulous sleeper who goes down like clockwork at 6:30pm or 7pm at the latest and wakes up at either 7:30am or 8am the next morning without a peep in the night usually! Once she's up for the day, she's happy and smily for about an hour after she eats, then she gets fussy and is clearly tired. She'll sleep for 20 to 45 minutes and then is up until she goes through the whole thing again after eating. So, I don't get the long breaks that I enjoyed with Sofia, but frankly we'd rather have the great nights if we had to choose.

We took her to her 4 month pediatrician appointment where she got three shots and handled it well. Dr. Hopkins kept telling us that she looks great and is obviously healthy and thriving.
