Olivia - 4 Months Already?!

So, yesterday, my little Livvy Bug turned 4 months old!  She is growing so fast and is getting to be more and more fun.  She babbles and talks non-stop, it's the cutest thing in the world!  In the mornings, instead of crying when she wakes up, she just starts talking.  She gets louder and louder until we come and pick her up.  She still hates tummy time, but we're working on it.  I know she needs to do it but it's so sad to watch her struggle!  She's getting super close to rolling over, she gets about half way and then gets stuck, but I bet we'll see her conquer that step very soon.  She hasn't been sleeping through the night as much as she used to, so I think the doctor might have me start cereal soon.  We shall see!  Olivia is such a good baby, but she occasionally will have little freak out moments if she's just not comfortable enough, or if something is just a little off.  I'm afraid I have a drama queen on my hands ;)

I don't want to tell this story, but I probably should for the memory...  When she was close to 3 months old, I did an awful thing.  Dave and I had been talking for a minute in the car, and I had pulled her out of the car seat to hold her.  When we got ready to go upstairs, I just set her back in her seat without buckling her and grabbed some other things.  I pulled her seat out of the car and her blanket fell on the ground.  Well, I put the car seat on my hip and bent over to get the blanket (not remembering that I hadn't strapped her in...)  and then I heard a loud thump.  I turned around and Olivia was face down on the asphalt.  I picked her up and I think I was crying louder and longer than she was.  It was the saddest event in her life so far.  She didn't have any marks on her head and she ended up being okay, but she did get a pretty fat lip.  It was HORRIBLE!  Here is the evidence...

I about died.  But I have learned to be way more careful with her and I will not be abusing her in the future.  I'm sorry cutest baby in the world :)

On a better note! ... She has her four month appointment on Thursday.  I am excited to see how big she's gotten now, but I am NOT excited for the stupid shots.  Oh well, I guess I'd rather her be protected from disease.
