Pictures are Ready.... 6 Months

Here are just a few of Olivia Love's 6 month pictures from Ashley Warren. They turned out soo cute and I was so excited to get to see them yesterday. :) Olivia was great during the whole thing and just loved laughing at her daddy. I tried to get to smile a few times but all she wanted was her daddy to make some funny noises. :) She loves to hear him bark like a dog... haha. That is how we got most of these smiles out of O. We are going to have a hard tim which pictures to choose :) If you want to see all of the pictures go to www.ashleywarrenstudios.com. Click on clients on the right.

Teeth...not tooth

We finally have 2 teeth!! Most everyone has said that the first two bottom teeth come in around the same time but that has not been the case for us. Olivia's first tooth came in about a month and a half ago and now we finally have our second long awaited tooth :) This is probably going to be somewhat of a boring post but I wanted to write some updates so that I could remember years from now what all was going on with her :) We went last week for O's 6 month check up (she is really almost 7 months so we are a little behind) She is 18.6 pounds which only puts her in the 80th percentile. I know that sounds big but she is usually in the 90th or higher percentile so I think that she is finally starting to stretch out and is loosing some of those baby rolls. It makes me sad to realize how fast she is growing up. She is in the 92nd percentile for height. Not much going on in the rolling over department. She still will not roll over from her back to her stomach. I just think that she really doesn't care to. haha. She just likes to roll to her side and play. Who knows if we will ever learn to roll over. :) She is sitting up perfectly now and loves to sit on the floor and play with her toys. We had our 6 month pictures taken this past weekend so I can't wait to post those pictures when they are ready. Be looking for an update soon :) I posted a picture of Olivia and her Daddy when she just a newborn. It just makes me smile to see my sweet family asleep and snuggly.

Finger Painting ...YAY!!!

After being inspired by a girl that I met this weekend, I decided to let Olivia try a little finger painting. I was thinking that it wouldn't be too hard since this girl did finger painting with a 3 1/2 yera old, 1 year old, and an 8 month old. Haha. After experiementing with finger painting today, I have NO CLUE how she does it. I decided to make O Love some vanilla pudding to paint with (nontoxic :) and edible for me). I put a blanket on the floor and some paper and let her go to town. She was not really at all interested in the pudding as I thought and all she wanted to do was eat the paper that she was painting on!! :) So I the put her in the her highchair and put a big glob of pudding on it. She played with this for a little while but was soon bored and ready to be picked up :) Needless to say, after our wonderful artistic paintings were through Olivia got a much needed bath!! All in all, I had a lot of fun but we may wait a few more months before we try that one again...haha. Spending fun time with this little one really makes staying at home with her worth it!!

Our beautiful painting!

Eating Paper :)

YUMMY

Fun fun fun!!

Last night we were so excited to have the Peacocks and the Freeman's over for dinner. Times have definitely changed over the past few months and life has gotten a little more crazy with 3 little ones!! The days of just hanging out, going out to eat, maybe watching a movie together are long GONE. haha. :) However, we wouldn't have it any other way! It is amazing how quickly Olivia, Ryland, and Charlie are growing up! The last time they were all together they were all so little so I am so glad that we were able to have another play date. With Charlie and Ryland both mobile it felt like we had babies everywhere. :) Olivia was very unsure of both of these active boys and just starred them down. They were sooo cute all playing together even though there were some tears from each of them throughout the night. One of the funniest things to me (I bet not to Olivia) was when Ryland was playing with Olivia's hair and he just grabbed a handful of it and pulled! They all just wanted to grab at each other and all night Ryland just wanted to follow Charlie around. It was soo cute! They have each developed their own little personalities and it has just been so neat to watch them all grow up. I hope that they will be as close as their parents still are!!!

This is the 3 of them in July. They were all so little (and asleep!!!)

And here they are now!! :) Not much sleeping going on!

Olivia kissing Ryland's head and he is kissing her hand... soooo cute!!

They were so interested in each other

Sweet Ryland seeing if Charlie is ok :)

Charlie did not want to be sitting on the couch with the little ones... he wanted to be on the move!!

I love Ryland's face in this picture! They are looking at each like what is going on?

Two 6 month olds and a 10 month old

So Sweet

Here is a video of our night. :)

Making Lots of Noise and Having Fun in the Tub

I am just loving posting my new videos because JR and I just got a new camcorder that uploads sooo easily! We also just bought a new mac book that makes uploading videos very easy and fun to do. There are so many different things to do on imovie and I can't wait to figure it all out. I put two videos of Olivia below. One is of her new talent of banging on everything in sight. She loves to make lots and lots of noise!! The other is of her playing in the tub and discovering bubbles for the first time. She was not real sure what to think of it but really had fun. She now loves just watching the water and playing with all her toys.

Cracking Up

Here lately, Olivia has just thought her daddy is hilarious!!!! Everyday when he comes home from work she just starts smiling and laughing so hard at him. She could have been with me all day and been soooo fussy but the minute he walks in the door he could just look at her and she would start cracking up. We got a little bit on film today of her and her daddy having a good old time! I only got the end of her laughing but hopefully it is enough to get the idea.

6 Months Old Already!!

My sweet baby girl is officially 6 months old. It is hard to believe that she is half way to her first birthday!! When we first brought her home I told J.R. that I would cry when she turned one week old because that was just too old. My how time flies. :) Here are a few things that little Mrs. O is doing right now...she is starting to sit up on her own. She will topple right over though is she looks up at something or gets distracted. Each day I feel like she sits up longer and longer. She is eating squash, green beans, sweet potatoes, and applesauce. We started giving her some water but she doesn't seem to like that very much. She loves playing with her feet on her changing pad and loves bath time. She goes to bed around 7:30 and sleeps between 10 - 11 1/2 hours. It is GREAT!! On a really great night she will go almost 12 hours!!! I thought this time would never come :) . She is still eating about 5 bottles a day but we are trying to work our way down to 4 bottles. Olivia loves to give BIG kisses on your face with her mouth wide open. This is one of my favorite things that she is doing right now! Here are a few pics that I took of her on her 6 month bday but I will have more pictures when we go and get her 6 month pictures taken. Cant wait!!! We LOVE Ashley Warren! :)
