3 months already!!!

Olivia getting her tummy time on her gym. (This gym is the same as her friend Clara)
These are our three babies, Olivia, Lexie and Bentley.
This is Olivia laying on her travel gym at Mommy's school.
Olivia getting her diaper changed at home. The pig onsie and sweater are her cousin Ryanna's hand me downs.
Look how good I am getting at tummy time.

I just can't get to my hands quick enough and what ever position I am in I have to be able to get to my hands.

Uncle Josh and I talking at Grammy's house.
Look at my crazy hair. I had just woke up from a nap and my hair did this which looks so silly mommy and daddy said.
I am sitting on the couch helping my daddy.
Do you think they know that I am tired?
This is at Mommy's school and we are going to go shopping with Mommy's friend Sarah and her daughter Lilly.


My uncle Ben loves me so and he can always stop me from crying.
Uncle Josh do you see that?
When I am out I am out and I love my crib it is sooo comfy.
Daddy is changing my diaper at Grammy and Papaws.
I think he likes me. :)



Uncle Josh do you really have to hold me when you are so sweaty?
Jackson wanted to know why I was getting upset after being on the blanket.
Hey Grammy why are you eating my fingers.
Daddy I just want you to hold me pleeaassse!!!
She figured out how to hold onto this ring and bring it to my mouth and chew on it.




Look at my hair! I fell asleep in the car on the way over to meet Uncle Josh.
This is our first picture together. Uncle Josh bought me this dress and it is the first time I had worn it.
I like to sleep on my uncle's lap and hold his finger.
Daddy got a new haircut and he wanted to get a picture with me in my pretty blue dress.
Olivia had a long day!

Olivia Christine Hedges is now officially 3 months old. It has gone so fast and watching her grow up gets better and better. She is constantly making Todd and I laugh because she is constantly talking. We think she likes the sound of her own voice. She wakes up in the morning and starts talking to us and if you imitate the same sounds that she is saying she gets louder and louder. We are just waiting for her to start laughing. She sounded like she laughed two days ago when I was making dinner and Todd was holding her in the kitchen while we talked. Todd kissed me and she made a sound that sounded just like a laugh. Of course we kept trying to recreate the experience so she would do it again, but she just looked at us like "enough already". The other big milestone that we are looking for is her rolling over. We are making sure that she has lots of practice so that she will be successful with this.

The other big news is that I finally got brave enough to make sure that Olivia sleeps in her crib each night. She was sleeping in the Moses basket in our room, but now she is sleeping in her crib each night. She is such a good sleeper and is letting Todd and I get some great sleep. Olivia is such a joy and Todd and I really get a kick out of our beautiful baby girl. She got to meet her uncle Josh for the first time two weeks ago. It was so much fun to watch Josh gush over her and even more fun to watch Olivia light up and talk to her uncle. He was here for a weekend and I don't think he put his camera down the whole time he was here.

I did really enjoy being home with Olivia for 2 weeks and we finally got to the point where she will stay on her tummy for more than 7 minutes without getting upset. She loves her hands too as you will see in some of the pictures. I just finished my first week back after spring break and Olivia went back to Grandma Mary's (her babysitter). She had a great week back and was of course very interested in the kids at the babysitter. It is so cute because the little boys that are there always greet her first thing in the morning when I drop her off and Todd says that they are always telling her bye when he picks her up. Hopefully our next post we will have more milestones to report and many more cute pictures.
Our next post you will see my fun day with Grandma Hedges and much more!
