This time exactly 4 weeks ago Olive was beginning to make it known that she was ready to bravely enter into this big new world. In a few fast and insane hours she was here and it has been an amazing month since. Getting to know her and watching her personality come out has been a joy and we are loving, loving her. By her two week check up she had gained a pound and half and grown a half an inch, making her 8.5 lbs and 20.5 inch long. She is getting chubby and we all seem to think that she has flashed us a "real" smile. Not gas, not stretching but a real one. (The smiles that morph into crying are questionable.)
Olive pretty much sticks to the basics...eat, sleep, poop. However this is just fine with us. The eating is obviously a necessity, the sleeping means that we can sleep too, the pooping we could do without but it is a sign that she is healthy so we find ourselves talking about its frequency color and consistency. We enjoy the time she is awake and Chas is always wanting her utilize our baby gadgets and sit in the rain forest swing or her vibrating chair. The sleeping part has not always been ideal, mostly at night. She sleeps so great in the day but wants to party at night. I don't know if she gets that from the Clawson side or the Nobmann side. She is learning though and we have to say that she is the sweetest and easiest baby we have ever had.
Baby feet are cute!

I love her!!! She is a beautiful little girl. I can't believe it's already been a month! I am so sad I haven't met her yet ... and won't for awhile. So please keep posting pictures of her and telling us what she's like.
Sometimes I get a kick out of the word verifications: this time it's "whiny" which I'm sure Olive is not!
