Can you believe that we are only 3 month's away from your 1 year birthday? Your Daddy and I can't, each day we look at each other and say how fast time has flown by.

We headed to the doctor for your 9 month visit and I was so excited to see how much you have grown and releaved that you did not have to get any shots! You were excited because you are finally able to play while we are in the waiting room.

Waiting Room Fun

Playing on the table while we waited for the Doctor.

Dr. Peltason remeasured you on the
table.

On your the day you turned 8 month's old, you started to crawl. Not just the 2 or 3 steps but across the floor like your on a mission. You are in to everything now and we can't turn our backs on you for a second. You go after your toys, anything on the low shelves, and Oakley's bones. He doesn't really care for that.

This is how I crawl.

This is how I stand.

This is why I now get many pictures of the back of your head, you are always on the move and generally in the other direction.

You are finally eating 8 ounces at each feeding which is between 5-6 times a day. You get your fruit and veggies twice a day and you love it, especially at Great Mommom's when you can look out the window while you eat. You are becoming so independent, grabbing the spoon to try to feed yourself. You finally are holding your own bottle while you eat, until you get tired and then its back to us.

Olivia you have always been a talker and have vocalized since the day you arrived, but recently this has more then doubled. I think your favorite is the loud squealing. You have begun saying 'O' like you did when you were only a few weeks old. This time you have added this cute face with it. You say 'Da Da Da Da...' and it melts your Daddy's heart.
