It's been another big week for Olivia - she likes to keep us busy.  It feels like it can't be too much longer before she decides to get mobile.  She is constantly moving and talking to herself now.  We weighed her this morning at 14.8 pounds!

The dog just keeps getting smaller

Olivia likes to sleep for 10 - 12 hours a night and has been doing that for over a month, so you can imagine our surprise when she decided that she no longer enjoyed sleeping through the night this week.  On Friday, Olivia woke up at 11 and stayed up until 4; not grumpy, she just needed someone to play with.  We couldn't ferberize her because of some house guests who would not appreciate her shrieks of boredom so Bob and her drove much of the valley (with an armful of Diet Pepsi grabbed on the way out the door) while Olivia regaled him with stories.  It turned out to be a fun night in the end.

Why are you guys tired?  I'm ready to play!

After a long night of playing, Olivia finally settles down for a peaceful two hours of sleep...

Olivia was also able to see 'tummy mommy' and 'tummy daddy' this week (sorry Adam, you don't get a very manly moniker...).  Olivia marveled at the lights on Temple Square while we all talked about her.  Following the lights, we had dinner together.  Olivia snuggled with Shelli and Adam and we all had a really nice evening.

Cassandra also had a Christmas photo shoot with Olivia this week.  She has decided that the camera is really interesting and refuses to smile when she sees it, instead preferring a very puzzled look.  Bob is a sucker for showering Olivia with gifts and is very proud of the Christmas dress he found.

I think I'm done

We hope you have a wonderful week getting ready for Christmas.
