Olivia - 4 months old

Olivia had her 4 month check up today and after checking her over, the doctor again confirmed she is perfect (he really does say that!) She weighs 15 lbs. 2 oz. and is 25 1/2 inches long. She is perfectly proportionate....about the 85th percentile for weight, height and head circumference.

She has rolled over 3 times...the first two times she was on the bed so I think it helped having a soft surface and another body (me the first time and Brynlee second time) that she rolled toward. Yesterday, I put her down on her back in the living room and went into the kitchen. A few minutes later Rob asked me if I had put her down on her tummy. Little sneaky girl!

She is a very happy baby and still smiles and squeals when you talk to her. She loves all the attention she gets...even from strangers in the store that tell her how cute she is.

I didn't get it on camera the first time it happened during this little photo shoot but unfortunately she's been doing it often...

Little stinker kept putting her hands in her mouth...

Ah, I'll just hang out here for a moment...

Yep, too cool.

She still does this quite often....

But also does this...
She even does a pinky/ring finger combo. Luckily, when the binky gets put in, she'll take that as well.

(p.s. she even sleeps through the night...yep, like 10-12 hours every night.  i. am. spoiled.)

She is so cute! That picture of her sucking the two fingers reminds me of my Finley. He did that right from the beginning and only stopped when his cast prevented it. I am so jealous that she sleeps so well. Enjoy.

Can you do a blog post on your night routine? I am seriously sleep deprived over here!

I wish it had something to do with our routine. She has always eaten every 3-4 hours since she was born. At about 2 months old she started skipping one night feeding and since then the length of time between night feedings has just gotten longer. She still only eats every 3-4 hours during the day but usually sleeps from about 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. I know part of it has to do with the fact that she sucks her thumb/fingers so she can soothe herself. I use to wake up when I could hear her sucking and I would put the binkie back in but now I just sleep through it so I don't know how often she stirs and then puts herself back to sleep.
