Almost Walking.

Miss Olivia is taking 5-8 steps at a time now! Won't be long before this baby is walking all over the place. A few short months and she will be 1! Party planning has begun. I am sad my baby is getting so big!!

p.s. had I not left the disc at the photo lab, our new family pictures would be up.

Merry Christmas!

Gonna get these in the mail today.... I hope....

A tooth!

Olivia got her first tooth this week. I found it on Sunday while at church. I cannot believe at nearly 10 months old this girl FINALLY got a tooth. I was beginning to think she might not ever get teeth. She will not open her mouth enough for me to get a picture. She insists on sticking her tongue out every time I try... Oh well.

Sweat Pants

As I was putting Ansley's sweats on her this morning (and yes I am now finding it odd that I was actually dressing my 5 year old, guess I need to work on that!?) she asked me if we were going on anywhere today. I told her that we were, her response:
"Then why am I wearing stay at home pants?"
Haha! My little fashionista....

Happy Halloween!!

For Halloween this year Ansley was a black cat, and Olivia was Olivia the pig from the Olivia books. I am very proud to say that I made both of their costumes. For Ansley it was just a tail and ears, but for Livvy I made her ears, and dress. They looked so cute! I had a terrible time trying to get pictures of them. This is the best I got...

The glow sticks they got trick-or-treating. Neither one would hold still!?

This is the only one with Ansley and Olivia that was even close to okay... It is so hard to get them to look at the camera. And for those that have not seen me with dark hair, here it is.

Livvy's nose was painted pink, and I put two little black dots on it. She looked SO cute! And her bows on her ears like Olivia the pig :) LOVED it!

Mommy and Livvy!

Olivia at 9 months:

Baby Livvy is almost a year old- just a few short months!? She is one busy baby! At nine months she is:

• Pulling up and crusing the furniture.
• Crawling everywhere!
• Saying Mama, Dada, and what sounds like 'baby"
• Eating finger foods like: puffs, cut up pear, frozen peas, cantalope...
• Loves her big sister Ansley, and gets big smiles when she first sees her in the morning.
• Sleeping 8 hours at night, waking up, and going back to sleep for a few more. This is a huge improvement, and I cannot complain.
• Climbs the entire flight of stairs.
• Still has no teeth!?
• Napping once a day, at 12:30 for about 2 hours. You are not a good napper Miss Olivia... Mommy is really working on it!
• Standing alone for a few seconds occasionally.
• Wearing 6-12 month clothes. Finally.
• Says "mmmm..." when ever you eat anything. So cute.

Olivia weighs 17 pounds 14 ounces (25th percentile) and is 27.5 inches (25th percentile). Her head circumference is still in the 3rd or so percentile, at 17 cm. She is the sweetest thing! And we love her so!!

My cute little ladies:

It is nearly impossible to get them to look anywhere near the camera at the same time. This wasn't too bad! I love my little ladies!
