This week, Olivia: Woke up with a stuffy nose on Tuesday. And started drooling a bit for the first time since she was 3 or 4 months old! Sure enough, on Wednesday, we felt her top left first molar coming… Continue Reading
This week, Olivia: Has a molar coming in on the bottom left! The average first molar is meant to come in between 14-18 months, according to this teething chart. O was a late teether – her first tooth sprouted at… Continue Reading
This week, Olivia: Had her 12 month doctor’s appointment. O weighs 20 pounds and is 32 inches tall! She had two shots this time, and although she seemed to cry harder, or with more awareness, she was back to her… Continue Reading
Olivia’s birthday was this week, and even though we celebrated with a party last weekend, we had to do something special on her actual day! So, we went to the zoo with grandma and grandpa, who visited us for the… Continue Reading
The fussy period preceding Wonder Week 55 is upon us, and we’ve definitely noticed some changes in Olivia’s behavior. Now, if you haven’t been following along (or maybe you have, but need a refresher) I have a post dedicated to outlining the Wonder Weeks… Continue Reading
Here it is – our daily routine with a 10 month old baby! The last time I did this, Olivia was 12 weeks old and my, how things have changed! I read back to the post when she was 3… Continue Reading
I took Olivia to a new pediatrician this week to check her swollen lymph node because I was paranoid that she was catching hubby’s cold. He told me that the node behind her right ear is outside the bone so… Continue Reading
Phew, it feels like so much happened this week! First off, I’m pretty sure we’re in Wonder Week 37 territory. I should probably bite my tongue, but this one hasn’t had too much of a stormy period for us. Wonder… Continue Reading

Olivia had her 4 month check-up and shots this week and handled them really well – no fever, just a stuffy nose for a few days. Her stats were as follows: 13lb 7oz, 26 3/4in, 17cm. It’s just crazy how quickly she’s growing… Continue Reading
Why do I feel like our updates have been the same for weeks? Maybe because this Wonder Week 19 / 4 month sleep regression / wakeful period feels like it has lasted forever. Well, this week Olivia’s sleep was decent (as in, waking twice… Continue Reading

Olivia started majorly scooting this week. I lay her down on her back on the play mat, and within minutes, she’s on her tummy and off the mat. I think that part of her frustration was due to the fact… Continue Reading
We reached a pretty big milestone this week – rolling over! Olivia gave us a glimpse of it 2 weeks ago when she rolled once but completely forgot about it. Well, she can now officially roll over from her back… Continue Reading
