3 months

So it's been a bit over 3 months, but I haven't been on time with the other updates, so why be on time with this one? Olivia is starting to turn into more of a baby, and less of a blob these days. She is smiling, and even starting to laugh. She chuckles a bit when you tickle her. She LOVES pat a cake, with her hands and feet. Her favorite part is "throw it in the air" and in general all I have to do is say it and she smiles. She is working out the nap situation, and has been taking a few longer naps during the day. The unfortunate thing is that she decided that sleeping through the night was over rated, so she has stopped doing that. So she and I have a little snack at night, but in general it's only once, and just for a short while. Oh well, I never really expected the sleeping through the night thing to last anyway. She loves to be outside, and that often will calm her down. She is starting to grow out of her fussiness a little bit. But evenings are still difficult, and in general we avoid going anywhere in the evening with her. She likes to be in bed by about 7, which makes it so that if I need to go somewhere without her, I generally can. She loves her bath, it's just about her favorite part of the day. One of her only tricks, aside from sitting well in the bumbo, is that she can roll onto her side really well. Oh, and this past weekend she also figured out that if she stuck her thumb out while sucking her fist, that it was more effective sucking-wise. So this morning when I went into her room to wake her up (at 8:45!) She was curled onto her side, bent at the waist and knees, with her thumb in her mouth. I almost died from the cuteness. I should have gotten a picture, but I didn't. So that's basically Olivia. She's also getting better at riding in the car, and no longer feels the need to scream on the top of her lungs the whole time in the car, which was a super fun phase for me. But I still like her most of the time, and I'm more in love with her every single day, which doesn't seem possible, but it's true!
