Cereal, Sweet Potatoes, and Peas....Oh my!

Olivia has been doing great with her rice cereal so we have moved on to sweet potatoes!  She is such a fan!  In a few days.... sweet peas!

Momma's weakness....

So...I admit it. I just can't handle it when Olivia sucks her thumb.  It absolutely breaks my heart.

How is it POSSIBLE that 6 months have passed?

Olivia is SIX months old.  It takes my breath away to utter that sentence.  She is the sweetest thing that God has ever made.  Her nickname of "The Bean" has really stuck with Daddy and now Momma is calling her that too.  Some new developments in our house: Olivia turns her head when you say her name, she squeals and squeals when she's playing, she sits up really well on her own for about 5 seconds BEFORE she falls over (ha ha), she has really figured out how to manipulate things with her hands, she reaches for things up high on her jumparoo and Mammaroo, she has warmed up a bit to tummy time and pushes up while she flails her legs like crazy, and she's staring turning her mobile on in her bed.  Olivia was also in her first "modeling" shoot for a friend redoing her advertising for her business.  (We will post those pics when we see them!)  It's been a busy month!

Like Momma....Like Daughter

Is she old enough for cereal already?

Well, today was the BIG day.  Olivia got to try some cereal! She did SO well.  She would wiggle each bite for the first few bites because apparently it wasn't to her liking as far as temperature goes.  After I warmed it up a bit she was all into trying the cereal.

Getting ready!

O's newest talents!

Here are some pictures and videos of Olivia's newest talents!

5 Months?!?!?!

Olivia is growing right before our very eyes! It's like she has a new trick every day.  She loves to play on her side...but she will NOT roll over.  She actually stops herself when she starts going over. HA She is still not a fan of tummy time!  She plays in her exersaucer a good deal and has started to love sitting up and playing.  She spits like crazy! (I'm not talking about blowing raspberries....I'm talking SPITTING!)  She also has started to turn when you say her name...even though Daddy calls her Bean.  She is the sweetest thing God could possibly give us and we are truly blessed!
