At 9 Months

Olivia weighs 18 lbs

and is

28 inches tall

She loves to....

say dadadadada

(her new favorite word. she rarely says mama now :( )

walk! She took her first steps at the end of Jan

(she is still a little weary of it)

open up cabinets and drawers

use her two new bottom teeth to chew

eat mango baby food

(she loves it)
wave and clap

be around mom and dad 24/7

(we are going through a little bit of separation anxiety) 

dance, bounce and wiggle

(this girl has some moves)

lay and cuddle on pillows

jump on the bed and couch

bang pots and pans

and

cross her ankles when laying down

Its amazing to think that I have

been your mom for 9 months.

Time really does 

fly by. It is always so much

fun to be around you.

I just can't help but smile when I am with you.

You have such a sweet, special spirit.

I am so grateful you came into

our lives. We wouldn't

be the same without you.

We love you.
