2 Weeks Old

It is hard to believe that Olivia is going to be 2 weeks old tomorrow, and that we have been home from the hospital for over a week. We have learned a lot from Olivia, including that she is a NIGHT OWL!!! She eats, plays and sleeps like a good little girl during the day and while visitors are here; but she likes to party at night!! The first two nights we took two hour shifts trying to relax Olivia and get her back to sleep! Olivia would fall asleep while being rocked and held, but anytime we laid her down, she woke back up and we were right back to where we started. By Saturday, we were completely exhausted and Zach went to Babies 'R' Us to buy a swing, which we have used to sooth Olivia and keep her asleep. It has been a lifesaver for us, and even though we have still have some restless nights, we are starting to at least get a few hours of sleep between feedings. Thank you Fisher Price!!

Olivia is enjoying meeting lots of new people - both family and friends. Tomorrow she meets her cousins, Jack, Parker and Charlie, which she is very excited about. She has also gotten lots of great gifts, including lots of cute/girlie clothes, some great toys and books, which we have enjoyed reading and playing with, and even her first hair bow. Luckily Olivia has a LOT of hair, and so far she has not lost any of it.

Tonight we gave Olivia her first official bath, as her umbilical cord finally came off a few days ago. She seemed to enjoy her bath, minus one or two screams. The bath did end with Olivia peeing on Zach, which both Olivia and Emily thought was pretty funny!

Olivia has already had a couple of photo shoots - both in the hospital and at home with Grandma Lin and Emily. She seems to know that she needs to be good for her picture, and that she better get used to it because she has lots of pictures and photo shoots in her future! We hope you enjoy the pictures.
