6 Months

Our Olivia has had her first half birthday! If you know me then you know that I LOVE birthdays and half birthdays.  I can’t believe how fast the last six months has gone.  I remember just after having Olivia I was talking to a mom of a six month old.  I remember looking at her daughter thinking that it will be forever before Olivia is that old. Well, here we are!  She is a little ball of joy that loves to babble and smile. 

Weight and Length: She is a full 21 pounds of healthy baby. We will find out her exact length at our appointment this week. We haven’t started solids yet but will soon.  Grandpa Dwight briefly introduced her to coffee but that’s another story =)

Diapers and Clothes: She is in size three diapers still and is in some 6-9 month things and 9-12 month things.  

Sleep: She is still doing pretty well at night. This week has been a little off because we have had company but before that she is usually asleep by 8:30 and sleeps till 8:30. 

Firsts: She has really started rolling just in the last week and now she rolls all over.  It is fun to hear her little grunts as she tries to get to different items that are scattered about. We have had to baby proof a little more now that she is more mobile.  She is also sitting up on her own very well now.  

Teething: We noticed her first tooth on April 5^th and the second tooth about a week later.  I bought Olivia her first toothbrush “sniff sniff” She is growing so fast.  

You can see her teeth!

Olivia’s likes: Olivia likes to drink water out of our glasses with our help. She grabs most anything she can get her hands on and likes to put things in her mouth.  She loves riding in the back pack carrier and seems to enjoy morning snuggles. Olivia really likes Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn is with us from 7:30 to 5:30 during the week. Olivia enjoys her friend. 

Mom and Dad Love:  I still really enjoy reading to Olivia and looking through photo albums with her.  I love that I am able to spend as much time with her as I am. We both love making her laugh and babble. Andy loves to show Olivia off and often will be the one holding her when we go places.  He also likes to watch walker Texas ranger with her =)
