Crawling!!

Olivia is now crawling! 

If we thought Olivia was a busy girl before October 30th then we were not prepared for this big milestone! She is about to get even more busy! 

She isn't very fast yet but she is moving forward and not backward anymore!

And she is the cutest zebra EVER!!!

 Miss Olivia is all girl! She only crawls for jewelry and nail polish! She is my kind of girl!

6 months update

Being a mother gets better every second! I often forget Olivia is 6 months old and not older than that. We have deep conversations and she is just so mature. I have to remind myself that she is my baby.

We have so much fun every day. I love watching her play with her toys. She is a talker! We have long conversations about The Daddy at work and what we will do when he gets home. (Side note: Michael is referred to as The Daddy and I am The Mommy)

Olivia laughs at a lot more things lately. She thinks I am really funny and that makes me feel good about myself.

We are still struggling with sleep. Some nights are easier than others... those other nights are super hard but it is so worth it. In the middle of the night when she snuggles up to me and falls asleep in my arms I can't help but to stay in her room holding her a little extra longer. Even on our hardest night I enjoy comforting her and giving her all my love.

Olivia LOVES this jumper but on occasion she falls asleep in it and when she does it melts my heart. She is just so dang cute!

We got a new flower and it looks so cute on her! Look how cute that little tongue is!

 She is starting to pull herself us on anything that is around her... she usually uses me but in this case she used her crib.

 A quick sneak peek of her Halloween costume!!!

 My little helper has the cutest and most perfect cheeks!!

 Dad made the bed with Olivia in it the other day and it just made me realize how tiny she is still!

 I love that Olivia sleeps just like me! She is my child!!

 Happy 6 month Birthday sweet girl! We have enjoyed every second of having you in our family!

 Olivia is now 27 inches long which means she went from the 44th percentile to the 90th percentile! She is also about 17 pounds. She is our healthy growing girl!

 A typical picture of Olivia and The Daddy

 I love these two with all my heart! I am so grateful to have them in my life! They bring so much joy and happiness in my life. I am one very blessed wife and mother!

 Also, we got Olivia a new bracelet and it is the cutest thing I have ever seen! Her chubby little wrists are so CUTE!!

 I love having a girl!! She is so much fun to dress up!

 Olivia LOVES walks in her stroller. She sits in the big girl seat and looks so cute!

 She is always making faces and this is her latest one

 I sure do love my little family!

Family Pictures

We had our family pictures taken by my really good friend Amanda a month ago. 

I was so excited to get them back and when we got them back Olivia had made a silly face in  almost EVERY picture!!! 

I have not stopped laughing at her funny faces!

This is my favorite face she made... HAHAHA It would have been a great picture... But it is still pretty cute.

 Usually she is always smiling but maybe that is because I am always taking the pictures. She wasn't sure what to think about having me in the picture with her.

 There is that smile that I love so much!

 If she wasn't making a face then she had her hands in her mouth.

 Love this picture!

 She definitely has Woolley eyes

 She wasn't sure what to think about the grass....

 then she decided she hated it and screamed and buried her face in my face haha. I love that feeling! Mommy will always make things better!!

We tried to give the grass one more chance...

 No luck

 She wasn't sure if she should laugh or cry

Here are some of my favorites

 Our little tree hugger! 

My baby

I know I keep asking where has the time gone but seriously!! When did she get so big? My little girl is growing up so fast!

Olivia has so much personality and I love it!

She makes the funniest sounds and talks ALL the time. 

She is working so hard on crawling.

She rolls across the room without stopping and it makes me laugh.

She crawls all over me.

She loves me!!! 

When she is tired she buries her face in my shoulder.

Olivia reaches for me a lot now and cries when she is away from me.

We borrowed a bouncer from our friends and all she wants to do is bounce.

She laughs a lot more now and it is the sweetest sound I have ever heard.

I really could go on and on but again... its late and I need more sleep than blogging...

 Tonight Olivia was having a moment so I just held her. After a while I gave her a pacifier and the next thing I knew she was asleep on my shoulder. Moments like this are what makes being a mommy the best!!! I love it!

I still don't understand how she will be 6 months in a week and a half!!!
