NINE MONTH OLD OLIVE

3.04.2014








i'm still in shock that little olive bug is 9 months old. she's been on this earth as long as it took her to cook inside my little belly.  we love her so much, and she sure keeps us busy.  it was really difficult to get her nine month pictures [as you can see] i could barely get a decent picture of her looking at the camera.

olive is getting to be such a big girl, she weighs 16 pounds 10 ounces. before her doctors appointment, dave and i both took guesses on how much she weighs. we were both off and our little pumpkin is skinnier than we thought. she is 29 inches long!!!!!

she has been pulling herself up onto furniture for quite some time. she loves it, and thinks she's so big. just this week she has been walking along furniture and STANDING with no help all by herself. for a really long time. she also took 2 steps on sunday! i think we'll have a walker by the end of the month.

she has 2 bottom teeth, and workin' on the tops.

she is getting more and more interested in our food and wants her baby food less and less. she loves cookies and peanut butter sandwiches.

she hates getting in her car seat, but once's she's in she's totally fine.  she loves looking out the window and watching everything go by.

she is the BIGGEST daddy's girl.  if dad is around she wants nothing to do with mommy, or anyone else for that matter.  she even hates it when he puts her down.

she is still the worst sleeper i've ever met. for quite a while she had been waking up 5+ times a night. AND waking up for the day at 6:00 in the morning!!! the last few days, she has only been waking up once and is ready for the day by 7:30-8:00. i hope this continues!!

she loves being outside. loves playing with kids. and loves animals! she is constantly on the go!! keeping me very busy every day.

her new thing is to hold her toys in her mouth while she crawls or plays with other toys. it's seriously hilarious.  she loves books. when music comes on she loves to dance, especially when the strawberry shortcake theme song comes on.  she's getting more and more obsessed. ask anyone who has seen it, her eyes light up with excitement!

she's super cuddly and LOVES giving kisses. or i should say ATTACKING you with kisses.  she loves jewelry and knows the people who usually have it on everyday- she goes straight for their ears or necklaces.

she is in size 3 diapers now.  which are so huge on her.  2's were still big but just weren't fitting right and we kept having leaking diapers. :/

we love olive so much, and can't believe how much she is growing up.  her personality is really starting to shine through. and we can't get enough of her. i told dave last night that i didn't want her to grow up- i just want her to be my little baby forever!
