Ok, I'm a really bad blogger...I can barely turn on my computer without help anymore though...so sorry! But here's an update :)
This Friday marks 8 weeks since our Forever Family Day! What a wild 8 weeks it has been. Olivia has changed so much in these weeks it is unbelievable - I'll try to post pictures soon. Since we got home, we have had chicken pox, rhotavirus, scarletina, and a sinus infection - but we have a great pediatrician...
Olivia has grown about 1 inch and now has 45 English words - among her favorites: Jess (the dog), good girl, hi, hey, and light. She does say mama and daddy and nana and pa - which makes us happy.
We still have some flopping, but not as much. When she gets tired or hungry (or doesn't get mama when she wants), there is some flopping to the floor that often results in head banging. So straight to the "pen" (pack n play) she goes, until she is ready to be a big girl again.
Our biggest problem is still the sleeping though. I was sleeping with her in her room on a mattress and getting up a couple times a night until 2 weeks ago, when I got the virus. So Dave took care of her all night and magically she slept - in her pack n play - all night long - without getting up. I couldn't believe it! So we moved her to the pack n play in her room and she sleeps all night some nights, but not others. Sometimes there's more crying and she comes to our bed half way through - but mostly she's in her own room, by herself - except for 1 diaper change a night - working on that still...
Life with Olivia is great! She is the most amazing little person ever and we are just so blessed to have her home and to be her family. I can't imagine life without her now (even though I miss a great night's sleep). She is a joy and her little smiles are worth everything!
