Living and Loving Life

We're gearing up for our 2nd doctor's appointment in a month and it has been spectacular starting to get back into a routine.  Post Glenn, our routine was shot.  Brian spent most of the first week at home sleep deprived as I went off to the work.  Naps were a thing of the past and Miss Olivia seemed to revert back to the lack of habits like a newborn. 

Now as Brian is getting back to work we are so thankful Livvy is getting back on track.  She is definitely not a morning person (something she inherited from Daddy) and her bottles in the morning are typically small 3-4 oz, but as the day progresses she wants demands 5oz+ bottles.  As you can see in the new picture above, she is putting those ounces to good use.  Digestive issues have seemed to improve (knock on wood).  We do not know if it's because of the revised circulation, increased mobility or now using Gripe Water periodically throughout the day.  Whatever the reason, we can definitely tell that Olivia is much more comfy during and after feedings thus we are happier. 

We've been slowly taking her around adult family members in hopes of trying to get her re-adjusted socially.  So far there has been some success and hopefully we'll have a six week slot of time where we'll be able to let her be around little kids before flu season.  Other than that, not a whole lot to report.  Now that the weather is cooling off a little bit we're looking forward to more family walks after work and cooking dinner together.  Olivia likes to be our little salt and pepper shaker on the island while we work.  On the Disney front she has now seen The Little Mermaid and Dumbo.  Brian wants to try and squeeze in Finding Nemo and The Lion King before he heads back to work.  While I'm thrilled to see Olivia learn to enjoy those movies as much as we did when we were little, I'm not sure I can stand Brian bopping around the house singing Hakuna Matata!
