One Month

 



Our baby Olive is one month old today. I can't believe how time flies! Although it does feel like she has been in our lives forever. She is such a good, sweet baby. Just yesterday she started opening her mouth really wide and trying to smile when I talk to her. She is sleeping from about 9:30-1:30 each night (in her own bed might I add) and it is amazing what four hours of straight sleep without a newborn in the bed can do for a woman's mood! We have all adjusted really well to the newest addition! Logan continues to give her kisses every chance he gets. He has also tried to give her a bottle (pretend baby bottle), put her binki back in her mouth, brush her teeth, and give her drinks of milk from the pretend milk bottle that came with "Elmo's restaurant." Another thing that Olive does it put herself to sleep. When she is sleepy during the day she will just drift off, no matter where she is. She doesn't scream bloody murder in the car seat and doesn't have to be held all day. I am amazed at how two kids from the same parents can be so different! I gave her bath on Thursday morning and when I rinsed her head, all of the hair on top of her head went out with the bath water. I wonder what color it will be when it grows back!

We had a wonderful Christmas at the Stevens' household. I was a little worried that Santa wouldn't find us because we did not have any out door lights, but he did find us and Logan got a ton of presents. Our house no longer looks like adults live here. We had someone come over to measure for a custom gate for the stairs when no one was home. When she talked to Scott later, she asked him "just how many kids do you have?" She thought we had at least four due to all of the toys. Two of his favorite gifts are a tent and tunnel set and an "Elmo's Restaurant."
