Over the last month she has started laughing and is much more interactive now... she loves to be outside (just like me) and she loves to be sitting upright. If you lay her flat she does crunches... she just doesn't understand that she cant sit all the way up yet... and it frustrates her! I'm pretty sure she is going to have a six pack of abs soon...nosey little girl wants to see the world... not the ceiling or her play gym! She is meeting lots of new friends between the gym, church and the babysitter... always in a good mood and happy to see other people.
Getting some exercise and working those abs!
She loves bath time too! Love those prayer hands:)
Maybe she's praying for a good night sleep?
Speaking of the babysitter... I love the sweet couple who watch her. They love on her all the time and it makes me feel better to know that while I'm working she is getting all the love she would at home. Work has been good... it is very hard to be away from her though. Since I work 12 hour shifts I really don't get to see her on the days I work... I usually get home in time to feed her a bedtime bottle and I love on her then. On the days Ben has her I make him send me pictures of her by text message... it gets me through the day.
Ben is doing well too. His sling is off... but he still has limited use of his arm... he cant lift anything heavier than a pen!! He goes to physical therapy 3 times a week and his range of motion is improving every day. Sooo... that means he really cant keep Olivia all day by himself.... but thankfully we have wonderful family who help out. Ben's mom and my sister are lifesavers!! He goes back to the doctor on June 9th and hopefully he will be able to lift more than a pen.... at least I'm praying he can. It has been hard on him to have such limitations and he is very frustrated! He has mastered using one arm though! He does his best to help as much as he can with Olivia... he's a great daddy!!!
Next month my goal is to get more pictures of all of us!!
