Month 8

Hello, friends!

We are in Olivia's 8th month of life and there is no way I could have every imagined our lives in this very moment.
Olivia is walking with her toys, scales the coffee table, can crawl to anything in 5 seconds flat, claps, raises her arms and babbles "so big" (I just know it), laughs on purpose and because her parents are funny, taps everything together, feeds herself, holds her own bottle, stands up using anything she can get her little hands on, and much much more. She's so grown up. It's crazy to think she went from this:


To this:


In 8 short months!

She has two teeth now. Her two front bottom teeth. Super cute! She knows to chew with them too. I gave her cheese for the 1st time tonight. She was like a little mouse chewing the pieces with her front teeth haha.
I'm just so proud of my little girl. I never knew it would be this amazing :).

I believe when I wrote last we were just about to take off for the beach. Here are a few shots from Olivia's first vacation and first trip to the beach. Yes, I know I know. I live exactly 7 minutes from the beach and my daughters first experience with the sand between her toes was in Litchfield, South Carolina!! I'm awful, lol.
"Mom, what were you waiting for?! I love it!"
 
 
 








Livy loved the water! Both the ocean and the pool. She liked jumping the waves with me and splashing the water with her hands.
 
 
Feeding Update:
 
Olivia continues to enjoy feeding herself. She was really good at trying all of my recipes and liked everything at 1st. She has become a little picky in the last two weeks. Foods she gobbled up the week before she barely touches. We work around it. She is loving feeding herself with finger foods now too! Watermelon is her favorite right now. Although based on tonight, cheese is not far behind.
 
That's all I have for now. I know I was overdue for an update.
