Back to the Doctor We Go

Just as a warning, the next several weeks/months of blogging may be more venting as the doctor thinks she is just starting to teethe. It is not out of frustration with Olivia but out of frustration with Mike in his response to Olivia. Mike does not have a lot of patience these days, at least when it is just us at home. He does not sleep well either. So when he is the first to wake up and goes to get her, he is already irritated and it tends to take longer to get her back to sleep. Last night he ended up leaving our room and sleeping in the couch. I have to try and cut him some slack since he has never spent time around babies. I get tired too and frustrated but I just remind myself that this is just a phase that all babies go through. This picture was just before we headed out to the doctor's office.

Her first attempt at running away

The puffs ALWAYS bring her back!

Workin on her modeling poses!

The doctor gave us some Orajel Naturals to try and the rest is up to us! Wish us luck and we embark on this crazy adventure that I am calling "growing pains".

I ended up not working today except for a phone conference this morning. As Mike took off for work Olivia and I laid down for a nap. When she woke up she was not quite rested so I decided to take her outside to enjoy the beautiful weather we are having!

Last weekend we went out and bought a Kinect to go with our XBOX ONE. It has been great! We downloaded the free version of this dance studio "game" so that we can do a little exercise at home. It is a lot like Zumba. I am taking it slow and it is easy for me to do it at my own pace and in the privacy of my home (when I have the time). Olivia loves the music and hopefully as she starts to stand and walk, she will dace with me. Otherwise she can just sit on the floor and laugh at me while being embarrassed because I am her mom. HAHA! :)

 Alright, long day tomorrow and I have to finish getting things ready because uncle Jon and uncle Ben are coming to babysit!!
