Bottom Teeth!

Olivia's #1 front bottom teeth! popped up today. Yay

9 Months of pure JOY!!!

My BABY is 9 months old! How did this happen? It's crazy to think she's been outside of me as long as she was in me:)Olivia is nothing short of amazing and brings sooooo much joy to our lives! New things happen everyday!

What's new with Olivia?WALKING!! Pulling up with help and walking holding our hands. I think it will be awhile before she's on her own, still wobbly:)

Olivia weights 17.5 pounds and 69 inch tall.
wearing 12 months clothes due to her height!
We thought she is having her teeths but No.. she is having a stomach flue too bad.

Hair is growing in more every week, so pretty :)

She's consistently sleeping 7:30-7:30. Pretty sure the 5:30 feeding is gonzo! For naps, we recently got on the 10 & 2 schedule. It's going good with each nap lasting 1.5-2 hours. But from last two days she is not sleeping at all.. poor baby is sick :(

I continue to make her baby food, but for dinner Olivia will eat what we eat. It's great! She gums up all her bites until it can be safely swallowed. She's also eating good. Still loves nursing every 3.5-4 hours with 3 meals in between. She love yogurt.

She can wave hi and bye! Adorable!!! She used to just stick her arm straight into the air and not move it, but a couple days ago, she figured out how to move her fingers in a waving motion:)

She claps as well... she says aaaja aaaja (come come) all the time

Little girl knows how to raise her arms over her head when we say "how big is Olivia?"..."so big!" She caught onto that in just a couple days!

This girl has personality:) Some might call it attitude, but we'll just stick with "personality." She definitely could never be called boring! Olivia has determination, and I love that about her. When she wants something, she does everything to get it.

Olivia gets called a "busy body" at least 23 times per day. Some days it seems as though she never stops moving! Always looking for the next thing. Wants to get into everything and know everyone.

"Daada" gets said a million times a day, so cute. We don't think she knows quite what she's saying, but it makes Raj proud anyways.

Mama gets said a little times a day only when she cries.. hihi

We continue to be thankful and amazed God gave us such a wonderful blessing! In all my dreams, I couldn't have planned out a happier and sweeter baby girl:)

Love you baby so much!

Dear Olivia...

Dear Olivia,

Your beautiful smile and loving eyes brighten my day.

Your life- your beautiful life- has lifted me from a dark place. It has reminded me that life is worth living. It has reminded me that God, in fact, is good.

For you I have so many dreams.
Dreams for a long, simple, happy life.
Dreams for a future filled with hope and love
Dreams for you that surpass the dreams I have for myself.

You are only 8 months old.
Yet- I can see you at 1,2,3,5,16,22
I see you as a beautiful girl
I see you as a beautiful, lovely teen
I see you as a beautiful, lovely and compassionate woman
Oh, the dreams I have for you.

Looking into your eyes I can see, I can sense that you've been sent here to rescue me
You've been given to me for nothing but good
You're a blessing
It's an honour to call you my daughter.

You are loved Olivia
So very loved.
Never forget that

Love you forever,
Mummy

8 Months Old!!!

Olivia you are EIGHT months old today!!!

What are you up to right now?

• You wear 12 months clothes.
• You are a little thing but a GREAT eater. You eat three meals a day - normally Yo Baby Yogurt for breakfast, cereal and apple sauce in night. You also snack at least once a day on water or juice. And you nurse every 3 hours still.
• You have started taking great consistent naps and your night sleeping has been GREAT for the last week - I'm hoping we are turning a corner!
• You are a wonderful traveller! You have been on several car trips. You have been to Niagara Falls, beaches and Montreal in your first 8 months!
• You like to blow rasberries and smile after every bite you eat. It would drive me crazy but you are just so cute. You like to stare peoples hahaha thats so funny...you want them to notice you..and give you a big smile.
• You sit so good now and you like to walk.. you want me to hold you and you can walk all day hihi, you dont crawl at all.
• You still love the exersauser and you just jump up and down in it.
• You still mostly say "dad-da" but you love to babble and make noise and you are SO loud. You talk all the time - I figure you will be that kid who gets sent home with notes for "excessive talking" like your Dad da
• I love that you are a social butterfly...
• I think you spend 75% of the day smiling. You have the cutest personality. I literally can't get enough of you - I will never kiss you or hug you enough.
• Your hair has really started to come in this month and it's light brown! You also have light brown eyes. They are so big, round and beautiful..
• You are the most precious thing in the world to me - I think I would like to have 10 more just like you!!!
• The first year of your life is just flying by! I can't believe you are only 4 months from being one year old!!! You are the best thing that ever happened to your momma and daddy! We love you SO much!!!!

Love you forever,

Mommy
