9 months old

Well you crawl (this started at Christmas but you have mastered it now), pull self to stand, and climb stairs. This all started about the week you turned 9 months old. You are hitting all your milestones. 

Personality: In the morning you wake up and you just sit in your bed talking, cooing, or giggling. You usually wake up about 8 or 8:30. You babble all day. The only words I have heard you say are Dada and (kinda) say hi. You are just starting to wave!! You love to eat. You make a laugh/cry sound when you are hungry. Or with solid food you bounce your arm up and down. 

You laugh all the time and smile. You laugh the most at your sisters when they are being silly. These pictures are of you looking at your sisters. You rarely cry except when I walk away. So I mostly hold you or you hang out by my feet and play. 

Likes/dislikes:

You love your lamb binkie

You love to sleep on your stomach

You don't like being on your back

You seem to like the cold... It's about 20-30 degrees most of the winter and you always giggle when you are all bundled up outside.

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. 

6 months old Sitting all by yourself

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.

You roll every once in a while but for he most part you rock back and forth on your back. 

You can push your self up like downward dog yoga pose 

You coo more

You are reaching for objects. You love to sit at dinner and grab everything around your bumbo.
