Olivia update:
She's still cute, still owns my heart. We can add smiling (two weeks ago) and laughing (last week, although she giggled in her sleep before that) to her list o' skillz!! She is also working hard on trying to coordinate her spastic and robust leg and arm movements. She's over ten pounds now and going strong! Yay, bahbeh!
Here are some recent pictures of my darling grandbaby:
This is Olivia on April first, not a joke. She's already kicking off the covers!
And here she is, going solo on the bottle. Still in Daddy's arms, of course, but holding her own.
Now don't get all worried and post warning messages about leaving an infant alone with a propped bottle, because Jack and Grace are VERY aware and careful and would not let Olivia alone with her bottle. They just love how she grips it in her little hands and took a picture for gramms (me). This child is in danger of never being neglected a moment in her life. :)
The girl is UNSTOPPABLE! She's holding her own bottle! Twelve days old! What's next? Rollerblading? This image was sent to me last night via cell phone, obviously, so I'm not the only insanely proud fambly member this child has. :) And here's the new little family all together:
Trying to get a bubble up:
Got a huge bubble up, gramms laughing too hard to hold camera still:
(And in case you're wondering, he's 24, and so is his wife, Grace. Well, almost. She'll be 24 in June.)
I doubt it, but she keeps getting prettier and she keeps learning more skills. Let's list them, shall we?
- Breathing. She picked that one up all on her own, right away.
- Crying. She's very good at it and practices frequently.
- Burping. Not to be confused with ....
- Belching. Like a stevedore, my friends. Her Great Aunt Emily would be proud.
- Drinking. Probably should have listed this before the above.
- Cooing. Good lord, it slays me.
- Peeing. Wow! She is so talented.
- Pooing. Prolific child!
- Nursing. Yay! With gusto, I might add. Mom is also to be credited for this skill.
- Sleeping. Another skill she practices often. She is very, very good at this one.
- Grasping loved ones' fingers. *weep* Really, it's just too much.
I'm all prepared with the candy cigars. Keep mommy and daddy and baby in your prayers!
