Well, we can't believe it but our precious little girl turned 7 months old on Sunday! She is such a sweet child, and seems to love everyone she meets. It is rare for her to get upset. Jesse and I are really enjoying watching her grow... though it seems to be happening way too fast.
Olivia Kate has lots of new tricks these days. She sits very well, but not for long periods of time because she has recently learned to go from the sitting position to the crawling position. When we put her down, she quickly moves to her belly so she can get going! She is trying hard to crawl. She can move a few limbs at a time, but can't quite figure out how to coordinate them all to actually crawl. If she can't get where she wants to go by way of belly, she usually just rolls there. It is super cute to watch her flip across the room, but we have to stay close because she can get to the TV or fireplace before we know it! We feel sure we will be chasing her all over the place soon!
After many months of drooling and fussing, she finally got her first tooth last week. I went to put orajel on her gums and there was a little prickly tooth. Though we are thrilled she finally got some relief with this tooth, we know there are many more to come!
Life is good these days. Jesse's job has picked up and he is working a lot. So, Livie Kate and I find lots of fun things to do. We visit Ma (my grandmother) one day a week. We also usually get to visit with my mom and sister on Monday mornings. We shop a lot.... which seems to be getting us into some trouble! And of course we try to find time to visit with Livie's baby friends every chance we get! We are looking forward to warm weather so we can get outside and enjoy the sun as much as possible!
In other new, Jesse's parents are buying a new house in Lebanon. It has a large yard and a wrap around porch... and hopefully a pool very soon! Jesse and I can't wait to get out and about this summer with Olivia Kate. We know she will love going up to Nana and Pop's new house to play!
We also can't wait for summer to come so we can take her camping with Mimmie and Gottie (my parents). The triplets have nicknamed my their new RV 'Gottie's bus' and we all really enjoy spending time on the lake with our family. We know Livie will have a get time at Gottie's bus this summer!
Here are some pictures we took of Olivia Kate on Sunday... her 7 month birthday!
