Happy Halloween!

It was Olivia's first Halloween! She got a cute little Halloween sweater and onesie from her Grandma Rose. She wore it for three days in a row, I had to wash it every night!

Olivia was a penguin for Halloween. I had way too much fun parading her around everywhere.

How she fell asleep at our very noisy, loud, bright ward Halloween party, I don't know.

Her daddy can always make her smile.

Going for a walk outside with Daddy, after Mommy almost burned the house down (long story).

She's so grown-up, look at how well she holds her head up! I've been reminded that I haven't posted an update on Olivia's reflux in a while. I'm going to just pretend that the last couple of nights never happened. Her reflux is getting MUCH better. She is actually happy most of the time that she is awake now, and she is sleeping for longer periods through the night. She doesn't make her horrible choking noise as much, and she is eating a lot more, as well.

I am having to pump, and then mix the milk with rice cereal to thicken it up. We also have to add apple and/or prune juice, because the rice cereal gets her a bit constipated. We've been able to take her off most of her medicines, as well, which makes me much more comfortable. I really hated all the medicines she was on. She is sleeping better at night. Every now and then she even sleeps the whole night! She has recently learned to poop on her own (I suppose I always took the art for granted), so Jeremy and I haven't had any unfortunate projectile poop moments for a while (although often we get a blow out of some magnitude).

She is learning and growing and developing so quickly. It's amazing to watch her. Every single day, literally, she is doing something new. We really do love her!
