4 Months

Olivia had her four (and a half) month check-up today. Time sure does fly. Here are her stats:

13.6 pounds (35%)

26 inches (92%)

Head circumference 39%

I love this picture Kayla took with her phone:

She is a fun, easy-going, smiley baby. We love her.

Marshmallow Fun

Oh, how we love summer. Especially the sticky, gooey, messiness of it all.

Trip to Washington

My sister and I packed up our kids, crammed as much as we could in my car, and drove up to Washington for two weeks. We had an awesome time, and I am missing it already. We stayed busy but also got to relax a lot. Addie had so much fun, she would be exhausted by the end of the day. She got to play in the mud, sand, and dirt as much as she wanted.

She also got to ride horses, finger paint, and play in the water. Seriously, how much more fun could you have?

We took an interesting hike up to the old Franklin Cemetery. Franklin used to be a mining city. All that is left now is the cemetery, a covered mining shaft (going 1500 ft straight down), and some old rail tracks. It was hard to read the engravings on the headstones, but it appeared that those buried there died young. The area is seriously overgrown and eroded. I was afraid that we might see a casket, or worse, a body. Luckily we didn't but it was a beautiful hike.

Summer Fun

It is getting hot around here, so today we spent a good portion of the day outside. We had a good time coloring, riding bikes, playing with bubbles, water, and taking turns playing under the baby toys. Before we know it the weather will be too hot to play outside, so we had to take advantage while it lasted.

Memorial Day

For memorial day we visited the cemetery where a lot of Scott's ancestors were buried. It was really special to visit the grave of Grandma and Grandpa Moss. I never got to know Grandpa Moss, but Grandma Moss will always hold a special place in my heart. It was fun to hear stories from Scott's extended family about their ancestors. They made some big sacrifices so we could live in America and be part of the LDS church. We are forever grateful.

Funny Sleeping Habits

Addie usually doesn't take a nap, making her extremely tired and cranky at the end of the day. Lately she has been falling asleep in weird places or positions. It has been making me laugh.

The other day she feel asleep eating dinner, and when I woke her up, she stumbled over to the carpet and put her head on it. She feel fast asleep with her body still on the tile. At night we will often find her head between the bars, or other weird positions. Needless to say, she has fallen off her bed a couple of times.

She has been tired, but it is not worth giving her a nap. If Addie takes a nap (even a 10 minute one) she will stay up until 11pm. If I keep her awake the whole day, she will go to bed by 7 or 8pm. Nighttime hours are my only sanity.

Olivia's check up

Olivia had her two month check-up today. Here are her stats:

Weight: 12 pounds (63%)
Height: 23.5 inches (74%)
Head circumference: 15.2 inches (26%)

Overall she is healthy and happy. She is on Zantac for her reflux and it seems to be working well. The other night she slept 10 hours straight! She usually sleeps between 6 and 10 hours a night and takes pretty good naps during the day. Her eyes are still blue and lightening a bit. The doctor thinks that they will probably turn hazel. I love this baby.
