First Thanksgiving

Last week we made the journey down to Pennsylvania to spend Thanksgiving with my family. I was worried about the long car ride, but Olivia did great. She slept most of the trip:) Once we were in Yardley, Olivia got to meet her great grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and lots of friends.

I can't believe Olivia will be 8 weeks old tomorrow. She is growing and changing everyday. Last night, she slept for 6 hours straight! It was a great night for all of us! She makes many new sounds (lots of coos) and smiles. Olivia recently discovered she has legs and loves to lay on her activity mat and kick them around.

Tutu's in Town

This was one of the best and worst weeks we've had with Olivia. I started off the week with a cold which turned into a stomach virus. I won't get into too many details, but it wasn't fun trying to feed Olivia while hanging over the toilet! I managed to talk Erik into staying home for part of the day when I was sick, so that helped us get through it. I was much better by the middle of the week just in time for the arrival of Tutu (Grandma Tanya). It was so much fun to have her here and have Olivia spend time with her. While Tutu was here, we managed to get out of the house and venture into Harvard Square, walk around Boston, and even go out to lunch and dinner. It was all much easier for Olivia then it was for me, but we did it!!! Hopefully, this week is better!

1 Month

We have been giving Olivia sponge baths for the past few weeks, but this week she went in her new tub! She loves the water and having her hair shampooed. She enjoyed the bath so much that she cried when we took her out!

On Monday we started going to a class called Great Beginnings. It is for moms and babies who are between 2 and 10 weeks old. There are 10 moms and babies in the class. This week we learned some infant massage and talked about new mom stuff. After class we went out to lunch with the other moms and babies. Olivia and I were out and about most of the day! I'll try to take pictures next Monday of all the babies together!

Here are some of our favorite pictures this week:

Look at those lips!!!
