Olivia...and Dad

Olivia is growing. We recently had her 4 month check. Wt: 12 lb 1 oz, Ht: 23 1/2 in, head circumference: 44(?) cm. It's been a bit of a tough stretch for us. Olivia has just not been especially happy, which is very unusual for her. We were rather convinced that she might be teething, which I realize sounds nuts, but it turns out she's not.

Although teething may not be occurring, we have had round 2 of the family cold. Poor Livi has had a tough time with it. Nevertheless she continues to be quite the little trooper. Despite her general not feeling well, she continues to be so much fun. I love seeing her personality continue to come through and we have a blast playing with her. How could you resist this?Dave returned to work last week. He was sore at the end of the day, but did remarkably well. He did 35 hours last week and has just made tremendous strides in his recovery. Thankfully (for everyone involved) Daddy has been able to be more involved with Olivia again.

We have really enjoyed our weekend together. All of the family got a lot of much needed rest. Tomorrow we're back at it. Here's to hoping we have a good week and keep moving forward. :0)
