Olive's cord fell off on the 8th day of life. Baba gave her her first real bath, because I was nervous. There were parts Olive enjoyed and parts she hated. Tren and I gave her another bath a few days later and she was in heaven. It was spa day for her. A nice soak and soap, and then a rub down with lotion and lastly snuggles.
This picture was taken when Olive was 11 days old. She was enjoying watching Baby Mozart and left her legs up off the ground like this a majority of the time. This picture is a killer, I know.
Olive loves watching the Baby Einstein movies. She really watches the tv and you can tell when she is bored (when there is no music and just the puppets or something) because she looks away. But as soon as the music kicks back up and there is action on the screen, she is watching intently. I wish I could be in her little brain and see exactly what is going on in there. Lots, I'm sure. Too much for my brain to handle, I'm sure.
On Wed the 7th of September, Olive had her first "doctor" appointment. We went to Dr Mumford in Emmett. Olive had not been weighed since she was 2 days old at the Baby Place. At that time, she was down to 5lbs and 15oz. Miss Piggy herself, now 1 day away from being 1 month old, was 8lbs 11oz. And she had grown 1/2 an inch. Oh, my sweet!!
She is getting so big and she looks at me and sometimes gets a WTH? look on her face, and usually it is when that sort of look is approriate. I love her to pieces.
I cant wait for footed pajamas to be necessary.
