Olivia 11 Months

I really seriously can't believe Olivia is almost 1.  This year has gone so very fast.  It took me forever to get this post up because it took me forever to get her pictures taken.  I can't get the girl to sit still for the life of me, and when the camera is out, all she wants to do is come get it.  She thinks it's a really fun game to crawl towards me as soon as I set her down...over and over and over again:) So, I had to wait until Matt was home at a time with decent natural light coming in to take them.

Like I said, Miss Olivia is a busy body; unless she's out of her element, she rarely sits still or plays with the same toy for more than 30 seconds.  But, once she finally got over all of her ear infections, viruses, and colds this month, she has been a much happier girl.  Right now, she loves touch and feel books and books with flaps.  She loves music and dances any time she can hear it.  Her favorite toy is either the cookie jar shape sorter or her stand up play table.  She also likes to chase balls and laugh and scream.  She's starting to pull herself up, which means walking is probably just around the corner.  She's pretty ticklish, and her little giggle is probably the cutest thing ever.

Favorite foods:

• avocado
• tortillas/bread (pretty much all carbs)
• Cheerios
• yogurt
• popcorn
• strawberries
• corn
• black/white/red beans
• Puffs
• Rice Krispies
• apples/applesauce
• chicken
• ravioli
• bananas
• blueberries
• yogurt melts

She's really funny about food; one day she loves it and the next day she won't touch it.  But, I think that's pretty normal.

She's wearing 9-12 month clothes.  As far as sleep goes, she's usually up for the day between 6:45-7:30; takes a nap around 9:30 (a VERY short one) and another one around 1:30 (sometimes a longer one), then goes upstairs for bed around 7:00.  She's finally sleeping through the night.  Thank you, Jesus, for sleep:)
