Happy 4 month birthday Olivia!

I can't believe my baby girl is 4 months old now! She now weighs 12 lbs and is 22.75 inches long; she's a petite one! We've had lots of firsts these past few weeks! Olivia went on two trips - one to Albany, GA to see Wesley's family and one LONG trip to Columbus, Ohio to see my extended family! She did pretty well in the car considering she hates her car seat :) We used the paci more than usual - I only use it when we're out and about and she gets fussy, and she needed constant interaction while awake - mommy was pretty exhausted by the end of the trip. At Wesley's parents' house she enjoyed rocking in the rocking chair and playing with her new bug that plays music! In Columbus she got passed around a lot and did really well with that. She also had fun shopping on black Friday - in the sling with mommy! She got to see her first snow and experience cold weather for the first time. Here's some pictures from the two trips:

All ready for the cold weather!

With Aunt Courtney who hadn't seen her since she was 2 weeks old!
My cousin, Kari, did a little photo shoot with her - she did a GREAT job!

While on the trip Olivia got sick with her first cold/cough. She also got a little infection or cold in her eye that we ended up getting drops for. It was so sad to see her sick and not be able to do much for her!

Once she was feeling better she went with Mommy, Grandma, and Grandpa to see "The Blind Side". She slept through her first movie experience except for the last 15 minutes - she didn't make a peep!

She can now grasp on to toys and bring them to her mouth. Her favorite toy right now is her links! She still LOVES music and now "sings" herself to sleep - it's quite possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen! She likes reading more now than she used to and especially likes the lift the flap book "Where is Baby's Belly Button". She is still a talker - she should have no problem communicating later in life :) Here is a picture of her in the exersaucer toy that we tried for the first time this week and she really seems to like it even though just her tippy toes touch the bottom :)
