Olivia's 9 months old!!!

Olivia at 9 months:
  • She weighs 16 lbs, 10 ounces (20th percentile)
  • She is 27 1/2 inches long (50th percentile)
  • Her head...is in the 90th percentile. We always knew she had a big, smart brain!
  • She is getting wherever she wants. She isn't crawling yet, but she can roll over, scoot, and creep to get to her destination.
  • She can stand for long periods of time...not on her own, but with one hand on something!
  • She is really good at playing by herself! She loves playing with her kitchen and play table!
  • She is eating so much now! She still nurses 4 times a day; but she eats baby fruits, veggies, and meats. She also LOVES to snack! When she sees the container of puffs, she starts whining to have some!
  • She loves drinking out of my Arkansas hog cup
  • She has her two bottom teeth, and is cutting her two top teeth.
  • Olivia has started saying "uh-oh" when something is dropped, "mama", "dada", and "mmmm" when she takes a bite of food!
  • The sweetest thing is when BJ or I put our head in her lap, she grabs our head and kisses our cheek and says "awwww" and even pats our back! Melts our heart!
  • Last thing is the bad news- Olivia has been waking up crying in the middle of the night. Last night, she woke up with her first temperature since she was born. Of course BJ and I were freaking out. Today, we went to the dr for her 9 month check up and found out that she has her first ear infection, also a cold and cutting 2 teeth...poor girl.Olivia loves going to restaurants with us and sitting in the HIGH CHAIR!!

    Bath time is so much fun when you can bathe in a rubber ducky!

    Playing around before bedtime!


Peek-a-boo!

Wow! It's hard to believe she is 9 months old! She is SO precious and it's fun to hear what she is doing. Also very hard to believe that Miss E was only 2 ounces lighter than her at 4 months...WHAT?! Now I really feel like I have a chunker. :) Hope she gets to feeling better soon, and I totally agree with you that Olivia and Elliott need to meet...SOON!
