Olivia gets put DOWN! wow.

The BIG news for the day is Olivia's weight (hang on, she's actually so heavy sleeping in my arm, that I'm going to try to put her down while I write! --- whew! That's better!).
Olivia weighed in at 13 lbs 10 oz today, basically maintaining the half pound per week gain. They suggested today that as she gets more and more active and so starts using up more of her energy, she'll be likely to begin to fluctuate between the 75th and 91st percentiles, instead of hanging out at the 91st like she is now.

These pictures were actually taken a couple of weeks ago when Suzanne's mom was still visiting.

Taken February 5, this was just a fun photo - one of our first, trying to catch Olivia's smile on camera.







Here is Grandma Steffens bouncing Olivia on an exercise/birth ball. Sitting on the ball to get a nice bouncing motion that soothes baby without totally tiring yourself out was a great tip that we got from our friend Jeremy.
