9 months

Olivia is already 9 months old! Crazy how fast time flies.  She is army crawling all over the place now and can pretty much get anywhere.  And she's into EVERYTHING.  I always thought my house was relatively clean, but she finds any and every little thing on the floor and it goes straight into her mouth.  Gross.  She has gotten very good at going from sitting to crawling and back to sitting up on her own.  She really likes to play with door stoppers.  And anything Kate has.

She said her first word this month! Daddy.  Not da-da, but a true Daddy.  It was so sweet.

Liv is sort of settling into a 2-nap-a-day routine.  She goes to bed around 7:00 and has been getting up between 6:30-7:30 am.  She started sleeping through the night again on her own, and that has been really nice.

She still has a bit of a feisty personality, and seems to know just what she wants.  She's very observant, and she's funny.  Her giggles and laughs bring so much joy.  She loves peek-a-boo and keep away; she initiates both of them now.  She's pretty much over pureed baby food and just wants to pick up her own food and feed herself.  But, she still doesn't have any teeth, so her options are sort of limited.

Livvy is getting more and more fun every day.  We are really loving watching her grow.
