Our Little Mover is Ten Months Old!!

  I can not believe how fast time flies... I'm sure if  I reread some of the past blogs this exact statement would be in all of them though. Just a few more days until Christmas and we are ready! However, I'm sure Olivia will care more about the wrapping paper than anything else. She is such a busy body... ALWAYS on the go! She is constantly trying to get into the fireplace (which is gas and is never on), tries at least once a day to pull the Christmas tree down, and anything else that she should not have... she attempts to get:)

New this month:

•  4... yes 4 top teeth coming in!! and she's still in a pretty good mood!
•  feeding herself at every meal... she eats anything and everything...pretty much whatever we eat
• walking with her walking toy
• dancing! anytime she hears some music she starts moving around... has taking a strong liking to grandpa's ipad
• constant babbling and singing
• climbing the stairs (we stand right behind her and steady her when she decides to stop and turn around)
• starting to become afraid of strangers now
• has stood on her own for several seconds at a time

 I love watching her expressions and wonder what she is thinking.... you can see the wheels turning!!

Here are several pics from this  month.

Someone got an early Christmas present

Hilarious!! She got stuck in her toy box:)

Happy Girl

It's just not as easy to take her picture with a paper sign anymore:)



Tis the Season

  It's Merry Christmas time!! We took Olivia to meet Santa today... she really was not too sure about him but after he gave her a candy cane to play with she figured out he's not a bad guy after all. Although we never got an "official" smile out of her while she was on his lap.

  Meeting Santa must have worn her out because she fell asleep in the car and almost slept through lunch in her car seat at Osaka, our favorite sushi place.

  After some yummy sushi and some chicken fried rice for Livvi (healthy right... but hey there were veggies in it too) we went to the Collierville square to take some holiday pictures. We took a MILLION pics of the sweet girl and a few of us too. I was sooo excited because I got a picture of the three of us for our Christmas card by using the self timer on the camera, and Olivia thought it was hilarious that I was running to get in the pic.... so she has the biggest smile on her face:)

Look... I'm standing!

Santa's chair

Looking at the pretty flowers right before she tried to eat it

I absolutely love this pic of them

(she really is a daddy's girl)

Daddy was supposed to be taking pics of mommy and baby.... but we see who the star is

Shoulder Ride!!





  Now we just have to get the Christmas tree up and we can really enjoy the Christmas Season... Happy Holidays!!
