Crazy Olivia sounds

I finally did it, I uploaded a video! This video is hilarious. I was at home on lunch today and Olivia was in her playpen making the funniest faces and noises and I just had to record it. She makes these weird inhale laughs that sound so funny. I love it, and as you can tell in the video, I can't stop laughing!!

7 months and 2 teeth


Well, Olivia has just turned 7 months this past Sunday and she couldn't be more excited. She's doing such grown up things now. The picture is of her on the swings at our park. She loves going on the swings. She sits up in highchairs and on her own on the floor. She isn't crawling yet, but she's trying very hard. She rolls all over the place, but going forward hasn't happened yet.
I can't believe it's already November. Time is flying by and we can't wait for Olivia's first Thanksgiving and then her first Christmas! We'll have to uphold the tradition of the new baby with the turkey leg. Yum! Unfortunately she won't be able to eat it, but she'll look cute with it. She's just finishing up vegetables right now with sweet potatoes and then she'll start fruit. I'm sure she'll love that!! She hasn't seemed to dislike any foods yet besides green beans, but it was her first taste so you can't blame her for being a little shocked.
Olivia had a blast on her first Halloween and she was totally adorable in her lamb costume! Of course we scored with tons of candy. Baby can't have any, but yay for mommy and daddy!!
This past month has been huge for baby babble. It sounds like she says mama all the time. I LOVE IT! Of course I'm going to count that as her first word, but it may just be babble. She always seems to cry mamamamamamaaa!! It's so sweet and completely melts my heart! I love that little doll face.
These next couple of months she'll have learned a lot of new things and will probably get even more teeth. It's crazy, but she's growing up!!

Christening

This is Olivia's Christening picture. Doesn't she look perfect?

First Foods



Saturday I gave Olivia her first taste of baby food. She had green beans. As you can tell from the pictures, she did not like it. Her face was totally priceless! She hated it. She looked at me like: how could you do this to me mama? I feed her the green beans for lunch and dinner and by Sunday she liked it a lot more. At first she would only accept about half, and now she's eating the whole thing. She's such a big girl! Her tooth is coming in nicely and she's sleeping a lot better now. Whew! Thursday we will be starting peas. Sorry baby, but you've got to make your way through the veggies and this is one of them. She'll be happy when she gets to the fruits. Olivia also had her 6 month photos done and of course they are adorable!!
This is her fall picture in leaves. She had a blast. Of course she was incredibly smiley and so excited to take pictures. She's a born model of course, look out Gap casting call!! She's going to be a lamb for her first Halloween and of course we had to take that picture as well. Here she is being the most adorable lamb ever! She posed her hands like that too, I didn't. Totally top model!

*Tooth Fairy*

OLIVIA BROKE HER FIRST TOOTH TODAY!! It's happening, teeth are on their way. Our little girl is becoming a big girl. I can't believe it. It seems so soon, but she's right on track. Of course it's incredibly tiny, just a bud for now, but when it gets bigger I will definitely take pictures. My mom found her little tooth bud this morning while she was chewing away on my mom's finger. She's been more fussy than normal and not sleeping well at all and now we know why. I'm glad it's the tooth and not her generally angelic behavior is changing! Yay!! Saturday she will be starting her first foods and green beans are on the menu. There are sure to be pictures from that as well!

Apple Hill Baby!

Saturday we went up to Apple Hill to eat yummy apples and pick out a pumkin from Cardanini's Pumkin Patch! This is Olivia's first year at Apple Hill. Last year she was in mommy's tummy. It's crazy how time flies. She's already 6 months and in another 6 she'll be ONE!! I can't believe it. We had so much fun. We went with Grandpa, Sara, Cory, Ava, Brian, Jen and James!! This is James' first time at Apple Hill also, he is 4 days younger than Olivia. They love each other and have an arranged marriage! Just look at that picture, that's love!! The kids looked absolutely adorable in the pumpkins!! Of course we had to prop them up against the pumpkins, but they're just learning to sit up, so what are ya gonna do?

Making friends!



Cristina and I went to lunch with Jenna on Friday and we went to the club after to visit Kelly. We put the kids in the double stroller and just had to take pictures of them! Olivia and Spencer had so much fun together. He also tried holding her hand, it was so cute. Hopefully her boyfriend James doesn't get jealous. She has boyfriends everywhere. Spencer is just about a month older than Olivia.

Also, Olivia is starting to sit up. In the picture above she's sitting up in her cousin Ava's chair. She can only sit up a lone for about 30 seconds, but she's doing really good. She rolls over all the time now and soon she'll be scooting around and army man crawling!! She tried crawling the other day and she just scooted backwards! Tomorrow Olivia will be 6 months! It's crazy how big she's getting and how time is flying by. This month is going to be full of events, it will be her first time to Apple Hill to pick out a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch and then on to her first Halloween. She's going to be a lamb! There will definitely be pictures!! Keep watching because Marine World pictures will be up soon and in the next week she'll have her Christening.
