we have a FOUR month old.

(she wanted nothing to do with me in these photos... all she cared about were her pants!)

time seriously is flying by, and i just need it to stop. my little baby who is not so little anymore is growing so big! olive turned 4 months old yesterday and i can't believe it.  i just want to squeeze her all day and never let her grow up.

although she is at such a fun stage right now, i am completely amazed every single day at how much she is learning! at four months old, olive.....

// weighs 11 pounds 11 ounces & is 24.1 inches long.  we have a tall and skinny babes!! she is in the 10th percentile for weight, 50th for length & 45th for head.

// she is a tough baby! today at her check up she had to get FOUR shots! :( olive didn't cry until the very last one and then we cuddled!! we still hate shot days though..

// olive is getting so much better at sleeping during the night... she still hasn't ever slept entirely through the night, but she can go 5-6 hours which is soo much nicer than what it was before.
   / we finally got her crib bumpers in the mail, which i feel like have really helped her sleeping. we also      went and got a little space heater for her room as well, and that has helped a ton. (her room was              freezing before!)

// boy, do we have a wiggle worm!! seriously though.  she can hardly stay still. and feedings are a struggle. she is thee most hyper baby while she drinks her bottle. it's like she feels like she's going to miss out on something if she stops to eat for 10 minutes. haha :)

// olive is super strong! she is super good at tummy time, loves loves loves to stand up/jump on your lap, she can now roll from her tummy to her back & can roll from her back to her tummy but still struggles getting her little arm out from underneath her belly.

// she is a huge story teller!! she talks SO much!!! i love her little voice!

// and every now and then she will laugh! ahh. it's to die for.  so far dave & dogs are the only ones that can get her to actually laugh.

// she loves her fingers. her long fingers. she is constantly putting them in her mouth and will sometimes gag herself! today we will be trying rice cereal for the first time when daddy gets home!

// she is really learning alot.  it's fun to watch her grab things and figure out how in the world she did that and how she's going to let go.

// she loves strawberry shortcake.  bright lights and music are her favorite.

// olive has reeeally fluffy, fuzzy, crazy long hair that is starting to get lighter and lighter. i wonder if she is going to be super blonde like mom or dark like dad?!

// and olive is finally into 3 month clothes!!!  i packed up all of her newborn clothes and put them away in storage over the weekend. :(

we seriously are in love with this little baby girl!! i am beyond grateful that she is in our lives!!
