Olivia is 6 Months Old!

Happy half birthday Olivia Diane! 

It is hard to believe that we are already halfway through our baby's first year and yet so amazed by the little person that has been emerging all this time.  She weighed 12 lbs, 13 oz (5th percentile) at her check-up this month and 25.5 inches long (50th percentile). 

At 6 months old, Livy is a bubbly, smiley little chatterbox.  She loves to blow raspberries and play with her feet and being read to, sung to or just talked to make her a happy, happy girl.  How lucky are we that she is so easy to please?!  

 

 

Olivia has been figuring out how her hands work and she is pretty good grabbing onto everything that comes into reach, along with pulling hair and pinching faces.  She is a total chewer, happy to suck on fingers, toes and blankets or clothes...really anything that can reach her mouth. Books are a new obsession, for both the pictures and of course the chewing potential. 

She doesn't have any teeth just yet, but we are starting to introduce her to some food now. Bananas and oatmeal are her faves!

 

   Her sisters are her best buddies and their silliness is something she can't get enough of. Her entire body quivers with excitement when they play with her.

 

 

 

She loves to stand and bounce and is so happy to have grown into her jumper. She can jump and play to her hearts content all while watching her sisters run circles around the house. 

Big sissy Piper hugs on our baby just about any chance she gets!



 I absolutely adore the way that this baby has always clasped her little toes together when she lays on her back and I love that she hasn't outgrown that yet!

 

The first half of this year has gone by entirely too quickly for me, but we have loved watching her grow and change and can't wait to see what the next 6 months will bring for Livy!  We are thankful everyday for the blessing of a 3rd baby girl who fills all of our hearts with love!
