Olivia is 5 months old!

Olivia is 5 months old today. I can't believe our little princess is growing up! She is more fun and flirty every day.

22 March 2011

 To celebrate her birthday, I'd like to share a few of her favorite things, skills, and accomplishments...

Favorite Toys: her little Eeyore blanket (it has Eeyore's head with crazy mohawk hair to match Livi's), her bedtime monkey stuffed animal (he's always in her crib for her to snuggle with at night), Things I Love crinkly pages book, football oball (she loves to put her fingers through all the holes), plastic water bottles (the disposable kind)

17 March 2011 - Happy St. Patty's Day (laughing at her Daddy)

Favorite Playtime Activities: Anything involving her daddy (he's a big goof!), "falling" onto the bed or couch from daddy's arms, scooting across the kitchen floor in her walker, talking up a storm on her changing pad, playing peek-a-boo, rolling over on her changing pad while I'm trying to change her diaper (YES, it's a game), tickle time, making fun noises (motorboat, grunts, hissing cat noises, and LOUD "talking"), getting her picture taken (videos too) - she's quite the ham.

Favorite Foods: ANYTHING! She is so interested in anything and everything we eat! She loves "real" food...all except for peas. They were her first food, but after trying everything else, she grimaces through her peas dinners. Livi eats one veggie for lunch, and fruit and rice cereal at night. (She loves squash, green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, and bananas).

Skills/Accomplishments: Rolling over from her back to tummy on her left side (we're working on her right side), scooting across her playtime quilt (if you put your hand against her feet, she pushes off!), sits independently for about a minute or two (much longer with her boppy pillow), can find AND put in her own binky (and even the right way!!!), will put herself to sleep most naptimes and bedtimes, gives big wet kisses (sometimes resulting in hickies!), SNUGGLES (Livi has never been a snuggler), if you stand her on your knees she bounces!, eats in her highchair, moves around the floor in her walker, has EVERYONE wrapped around her little finger.

We can't imagine life without our little Bug.

There's that little finger she has us wrapped around!
