Ah, how nice. My baby can finally sit herself up, and do an army crawl. She's mobile! Sorta. She hasn't learned to bring her tummy off the floor but we'll get there. I'm in no rush at all. At 8 months, Olivia loves water in a sippy cup, cereal snacks, cookie snacks, yogurt snacks, sweet potato gerber, all fruit gerber, chicken and gnocchi soup from Olive Garden and beans! Its been amazing watching this kid grow. Every day my heart grows more and more with the love I have for her. Unfortunately she has learned of the iPhone. And she's not easily fooled! She knows a fake phone from a real one. Another reason I need to lay off the phone, Olivia grabs it every chance she gets. I think its time to break out the books and start reading to her. She has an appointment in the middle of October so we'll find out how much she weighs. She's turned into a lil chunk, that's for sure. I forgot to mention that she also loves babies! She's so playful and giggles so much any time a baby is around. It is so precious.

This is one of my absolute favorite pictures of my little queen. She's so silly like her daddy. Ah, I miss her so much I may just wake her up from her nap! ;)

Olivia is 4 months.

Olivia is now 4 months. After 6 weeks I never kept up with how many weeks she was. And after a year, I won't be keeping up with months, it's just unnecessary. She loves fruit in her little mesh bag, she loves oatmeal in her bottle, she loves baby food-vegetables only. She tries to laugh but can only open her mouth to make a little grunt. She gets shy and likes to pull the blanket over her face. Tonight is the first night that she'll be sleeping in her room all by herself. And I know its much harder for me than her. I won't be able to look over at her and say "Goodmorning, eyeballs." Or wake up in the middle of the night and look over and see her sound asleep, or wake up to her kicking her little legs in the morning waiting for me to wake up and pull her into bed with us. But it'll be nice not having baby things all over my room.

I can't wait for her to learn how to roll over and sit up on her own. What I'm NOT ready for is standing and crawling. She can take as long as she wants doing that.
