Olivia loves her bottle!!!

It is such a wonderful feeling to be able to feed Olivia by bottle. Every other day we have been able to give her a bottle around 6 o'clock PM and has been going great. Seeing Olivia suck on that nipple and really coordinate her breathing it's really God's miracle. She is now taking about 2oz with no problem and be content at the end by keeping her oxygen levels in higher 90's.

At the doctor's appointment today Livi's weight was 11 lb 15 oz and 24 inch long. God is really watching over her and us everyday, thanks to all the prayers said for us from all our family and friends. Dr. Steinke didn't do any changes this week with her feeding beside increasing the formula-volume since Olivia is continuing to grow :-) .

I know I have mention it before how much Olivia loves bath time... it gets better... she can now sit up when I give her baths (with my help) and loves it even more because she gets to play with her legs and feet, splashing them like she is running... LOVE IT...
Her hair still sticks-up even though I got a big part of it combed down.
Also no matter how much lotion I put over her after bath-time it doesn't last long. Livi is continually putting both of her hands in her mouth (maybe teething soon) which has given her a new nick-name from Dada: "Daddy's Sour-dough bread"... got to love it...

We are so thankful with Livi's progress and can't wait for the years to come...
