Bright spot in the day!

In the chaos of laundry, cleaning, packing, tracking down a dogsitter, and just trying to maintain a level of sanity I have found I really get a kick out of watching Olivia lately. I say bright spot in the day, because the nights are not so great! She starts fussing within a half hour of us getting the boys down for the night and continues to yell, scream, hold her breath, and be miserable until around 10:30-11:00 PM. she will then fall alseep for a few hours just to wake up again around 2 or so and stay awake until 5ish (the time out alarm goes off for the day). Anyone looking for something to do around 8:30PM may come give our ears and arms a break and hold her!

With the size of the house, if something doesn't have a purpose I am more than willing to give it away/throw it away. Thankfully we have found a purpose for the bear th boys made for her the week before she was born! It makes a pefect pacifier-keeper-in-the-mouth! It also keeps her lying on her side so she doesn't face plant into her mattress.




Olivia has been getting really good at just hanging out in her crib. It's a safe place for her. Maddox can't get in there (yet). That means she has time to herself. Time that is free of smothering hugs, and wet, sticky, slobbery kisses. Don't get me wrong, we are thrilled that Maddox loves her, we just wish he wouldn't love her so hard.
