Olivia's first word

Olivia says "Dada" all day. 

Big week

This week you tried food for the first time. We gave you oatmeal and you downed it like you knew exactly what you were doing. You are an eating pro! You also have tasted some bananas and you act like you can't get enough.

 

Also you started rolling everywhere. I ran to put the laundry in and came back to you half way across the room. You have rolled a handful of time but you usually act like it's an accident and you can't every get back. It's like you woke up today and decided I am going to roll everywhere, and you did. You rolled yourself all over and into corners.

LYou are sitting so strong all by yourself. You can sit for a few mins... Sometimes less sometimes more then you just fall over. It feels like you are more apart of things and I feel like you are more happy sitting up and playing with the big kids. You are honestly as sweet as can be. You are sleeping through the night and take 3 naps day.

Ohio fall

Ohio has the greatest falls. We went apple picking this week and while I was not paying attention I put an apple in my hand and then started picking more, when I looked down you were gumming the apple. 

5 months old

I You are one fun little 5 month old. You love attention and you love eye contact. If whoever is holding you is not looking at you, you start getting fussy and then when we look at you, you have a great big smile. You also love facing away from us and looking at all that is going on around you. You are just soaking it all in. 

Likes:

Love dancing and singing. You love when we shake your arms to music or when we sing to you. You have your mouth wide open like you are trying to singing too. 

Love making noises. You sound like you are saying hi, and you say it over and over and over. (It's just longer Hiiiiiii, iiiiii,)

You love your bath

You love sitting up with assistance. You keep pulling your head up if you are laying down, and when we sit you up you are as happy as can be. 

You love walks in the stroller

Dislikes 

You do not enjoy tummy time for more than a few minutes. You are happy for a little while and then afterwards you just start screaming. 

You do not enjoy being put down where you can't see me or dad or your sisters. 

You are starting to get attached and if I  in the room and you are hungry or tired you start looking for me.

California

We had a great time in Utah and California with Grandma and Grandpa.  When we were in California we spent so much time swimming all day and going to Disney in the evenings.  Your favorite ride at Disneyland was Its a Small World. You kept turning your head every direction to see it all.  When we were in Utah Dad surprised us and we got to spent about 8 days with him.  Dad and I spent our 10 year anniversary and Grandma took the two oldest girls while we spent a few days in Utah hanging out in Salt Lake and going to Moab camping.  You were an amazing camper.  You are only 4 months old and we have already taken you camping twice.  Basically you are a pro.  The California sun at the beach turned most of your hair to a dark blonde.  You still have a dark section in the back but mostly it is blonde now.
