4 months old - Hand motor skills

At 4 months plus, Olivia now can grab hold of her toys and pacifier. Now she enjoys sucking on her fist and finger. She even prefer her hand rather than the pacifier :d.

Felt like I'm still behind time and couldn't catch up with how fast she's growing. Time flies and just another month to go she will be starting on feeding solids.

I find that I have this special strong connection with Olivia which I don't remember feeling the same with Isabelle. Not that I didn't have strong and special connection with Isabelle, but somehow with Olivia, it felt very different. Whenever I have the chance, I'll always want to hold and carry her. I enjoyed so much in carrying and rocking Olivia to sleep and seeing her falling asleep soundly in my arms, I wish I could just carry until she wakes.

Two sick babies

At 4 months old, this is the first time Olivia is sick. She caught the flu and cough virus from Isabelle. Even we have tried so hard to separate the both of them, they still pass the virus to each other. Belle is more cranky compare to Olivia. Both of them has a mild fever too. Is really hectic trying to take care of two sick child. :( Really hope both of them will recover very soon
