There has been alot going on since my last post. Olivia is of course getting bigger every day and developing a funny little personality. She went for her 4 month checkup and she weighed 14lbs 4.6oz and was 24 inches long. She was in the 75th percentile for weight and 50th for height. She is still a chunky monkey but at least she is trying to catch up in length. The pediatrician told me she had eczema. She had a rash that we had been fighting for a while. We thought it was her slobbering so much or heat but turns out it was eczema. He told me ways to treat it and her rash is gone, she just has a few dry spots. She had her first cough about a month ago. She had a low grade temp for about a day and that was the only day that she acted like she didn't feel good, the rest of the time it didn't seem to bother her. We started feeding her rice cereal a couple of weeks ago (i posted pictures) and at first she was not a fan. She was didn't know what to do with it and just wanted her bottle. She is starting to get the hang of now but she still sometimes makes a funny face when you put it in her mouth. The biggest change of all is she is sleeping in her bed in her room. At first i felt like she was so far away (for those of you who have been to our house i know you are laughing, for those who haven't, her room is literally like 5 steps away from ours) but now i am glad that transition is over. I was at work the first night she slept in there so Eric toughed it out all alone. The girl is a little sleeper though. She like to eat, play for a little while and then sleep. And you better not interfere with her nap or she will throw a fit! It's pretty funny. Other than getting mad when she is hungry or sleepy she is a pretty good baby. She smiles and laughs alot and she is definitely a cuddle bug. we have definitely been enjoying her. Everything else around here has been going pretty good. Oh yeah, I had my first and hopefully last KIDNEY STONE. If any of you have had one you know what i mean when i say it is TERRIBLE!!! I felt like i was having back labor again. I had to go see a urologist and just laughed as i looked around the waiting room that was filled with 80 year old men. I had to have stuck out like a sore thumb. I was prescribed pain medicine and prostate medicine (yes, that's right, PROSTATE medicine) he said it would help the stone pass easier. I didn't care what he gave me, just something to make it go away. But all is better now and hopefully that will never happen again. Hope everyone is doing well, thanks for checking on us!
