4 months and Olive's first big trip



This morning I brought Olive for her 4 month check up. She is still in the 90th percentile (or above) for everything:

height - 25 1/2 " and weight - 16 lbs 12 oz

She is getting SO big so quickly! She's rolling over from back to stomach and stomach to back. She's sleeping through the night. Eating 6-8 oz at a time. She's so curious about noises, she looks around to see where they are coming from. She holds her arms out to be picked up. She never wants to be put down for that matter. It's crazy!

We went to Florida this passed weekend. We were so nervous to fly with Olive but she was awesome! She was asleep for both take offs and landings and we managed to keep her entertained for the 3 hour flight both ways. 
Our long weekend wasn't long enough. It was SO nice being in the warm sun! Having Olive out, in just a little dress or diaper was great too! I think she loved it just as much as we did. She was such a great little traveller.
Olive met her Great Grandma Harding, a.k.a. Gigi, and got to spend some quality time with her Grandpa Harding and Uncle Mike. Brian and I even got to sneak away for sushi and a bottle of wine on the beach the night before we left! 

There were several firsts for Olive on this trip:

First plane ride
First trip to the beach
First dip in the ocean
First bath in a big bathtub
First (NASA) rocket launch :-)


Here are a few pictures from our trip...

We spent two days at the beach, which was AMAZING! My Grandma bought Olive the sweetest bathing suit and we ran out to The Gap to grab a sun hat.
