Olivia is doing great and keeping us both very busy. We find it pretty hilarious that an essentially immobile, nine-pound thing can create enough work to amount to about three full-time jobs for both of us. Not that we're complaining, though. It's been thoroughly fulfilling. She's thankfully a pretty calm baby, usually crying only when she's hungry or when her hat falls over her eyes. We don't have to deal with too much mystery screaming, and when it does happen, we've learned some great techniques* to calm her down. Our biggest challenge lately is just trying to get her to fall into a sleep routine that lets us parents get some REM ourselves. Glenda has been heroically getting up every couple of hours to feed Olivia, letting me sleep so I can function at work. Then when I come home from work, Glenda can take a nap and go for a walk and get a break for a while. Developmentally, there hasn't been much to report other than her umbillical cord falling off. She's very active, especially after nursing, and we like to lay her on the floor and watch her flail and fidget. She makes some pretty bizarre hand gestures that closely resemble gang signs, although we're hoping this doesn't presage a possible career path for little Olivia. *We highly recommend "The Happiest Baby on the Block" by Dr. Harvey Karp to all new parents. He has some excellent techniques for getting babies to calm down. Check it out at your local library.
