Happy 1 Month Birthday Miss O!!!

This past Monday (January 18) was Oliva's 1 month birthday!!!! I can't believe a month has already gone by. She's so alert, LOVES playing with her activity mat (THANK YOU LEAH, JOHN & ADREY!!!) although she's very frustrated at this point that she can't figure out how to open her hands to grab onto the panda or bird...she hits them VERY well, but after 20 minutes of not being able to grab on she "yells" at them! ;)Olivia is holding her head up very well, able to turn it from side to side with great control while laying on her tummy or on your shoulder. She's LOVES her food...4 oz every 2-4 hours and we're trying to see if we can start cereal. Yes, you read that correctly, cereal...she's not able to fill herself up so as soon as we get her formula situation under control the doctor's going to possibly put her on a little cereal.

Today we had her 1 month checkup and all went well! She's 21 inches long, 10.2 pounds. We're going to start her on Soy based formula today...the milk based is not going too well and causing problems..hoping this works well. She was fussing at the office because she was hungry and the doctor asked me if I had a pacifier...she latched on to the pacifier and he said..."oh my...she's a very aggressive eater...I can tell by the was she's taking the pacifier...that could have caused you some pain had you been breast feeding"...YIKES is all I have to say about that!!!! Chad and I saw nipples for bottles that were for "aggressive" eaters, but we had no idea what that meant...well, now I know.

Below are several pictures as of late...hoping to get the posting thing down so I can keep better track of what's been going on. Have a great weekend!!

Playing with Dad on my activity mat

Bath time with Daddy...I'm starting to like them a little better but not 100% sure I like it

Chillin' in my swing from Diane and Scott!!

Uncle Kyle gave me his dinosaur...I LOVE IT! (Kyle had this when he was younger and my mother kept it...he went into the basement and got it out to give Olivia at one of my showers...she loves it and we actually travel with it now)
