7 Months

My sweet little Olivia-

This month has been so fun! You are learning new things everyday and sometimes it's hard to keep up with all of the things you can do! You had your first sleep-over at Grandma Lees' and had such a good time. Somehow she even taught you to roll over which was something we had been trying to master for some time. Ever since then you have been rolling from one end of the house to the other. You love this new freedom of being able to move around and get into things. You're also trying to figure out how to crawl. You get up on your knees and rock back and forth and I know one day soon you are going to take off.

Bathtime has become a favorite again. As soon as we walk in the bathroom and turn the water one you start squeeling and flailing your arms and would jump straight into the water if you could! I usually let you play with the water as it fills the tub and you find such joy in this!

You've also started to babble more than just coo. You can really only say, "da, da, da" right now but I can tell other sounds will be coming soon. Your dad thinks it's great that you're saying his name, although we know you don't really know what you're saying.

Food is still so fun for you and you love trying new things, most of the time. We've started to introduce baby meats and you are less than thrilled about them. You're a good sport though and I only make you take a few bites each time because it really does smell pretty gross. You are so sweet during bottle time. You like to have me hold the bottle and you grab both of my hands with your hands. Even though you can hold the bottle yourself, you prefer this method. Sometimes it's hard when I have a million other things to do but it's so sweet I can't help but give in.

You are so fun and get bigger by the day. I love being your mommy and am so blessed to have you in my life. Oh the fun we will have!

Love you lots!
Mommy
