An Olivia update!

I can't believe our baby girl is 3 weeks old! I have absolutely loved taking care of this precious girl. It has been so fun to get to know her personality and learn what she likes and dislikes. Anyway here is a little list of some things we have learned about her so far.
-She is a stubborn little girl and knows exactly what she wants and exactly how to get it:)
-She HATES being undressed. Unless she is in the bath tub.
- She loves to be held. In fact so much so that I can' t even set her down to go to the bathroom. Even when you think that she is fast asleep she will peep open one of her eyes to make sure she is being held. If she peeps her eye open and no one is holding her she immediately starts crying.I find this really cute and I of course LOVE holding her, but I do need to do a few things so we bought a front pack this week. Hopefully that helps!
- She can hold her head up! In fact she has been able to do this since she was 2 days old. If I have her on my shoulder she will lift it up and look around very gracefully. She hardly ever bobs. Also, if she is lying on her stomach she will turn her head the other way all by herself.
- She loves music, mostly Westlife! But if we are in the car and she starts fussing we just turn on the music and she stops! Oh ya, and she loves her carseat. Yay!
- She is a very good baby and hardly ever fusses she just doesn't liked to be messed with:)
-She loves her little hands and always sleeps with them on her face.
- She loves her neck rubbed and will bend it backwards so I can rub it.
-She is getting quite chubby. Especially in her cheeks and stomach. She also has a little double chin!
- She is a very loud eater and does not like to eat in front of other people.
- Sometimes she just randomly screams to let you know she is there!
- When she cries she sounds like a little kitty which is why her aunt Sophia nicknamed her kitty.
-Her most recent cute little habit is her sighing and little noises she makes when she is asleep.


I am sure I am forgetting a lot of cute little things, but we sure love our little doll and are excited to continue to watch her grow and learn!


She isn't a huge fan of her binky, but will take one every once in a while. I am hoping she decides to like it a little more!

I thought her hands were so cute in this picture!

I usually keep her more bundled up but I just love her tiny little body.

I was burping her when all the sudden she turned her head and latched on to my cheek and started sucking. I let her do it for a minute and then she let go and put her head back down. Later that night when I was brushing my teeth I noticed a little red mark which I thought was a scratch, but as I looked closer I realized that it was a hicky haha.

This is one of my favorite ways to hold her.

She is extremely alert during the few hours she is awake every day. She loves looking around at everything.

Since it is necessary that our laundry gets done, I tried propping her up on some pillows so that she could watch me put away the laundry. She was so good and I actually was able to fold all the laundry!

You can see her chunky little tummy in this picture. It's so cute!
