Here I Am!

Wow - the past 6 weeks have completely flown by. We've made a trip to Ohio, made a trip to Boston, had family visit for 7 days, made a trip to Ohio via Indiana...and now we're finally back home settling into a routine again. We've been blessed to have safe travels, although we had two canceled flights, an unscheduled layover and a delay...we still made it to and from all of our destinations safely.

Olivia even spent the weekend away from Mom and Dad for the first time...and we all did great! :) The worst part (and this had nothing to do with being away from us) was that she got sick when we saw her again and spent several days unable to keep any food or milk down. It was sad to see her to lethargic and sick, but it only lasted a few days and now she has all of her energy back.

She'll be 8 months old on Sunday - my how time flies! In fact, just yesterday, I noticed her first tooth start to pop through the gums. It's on the bottom, and so cute...I keep looking at it! :)

She sits up by herself and is trying real hard to lean over and crawl, but just can't quite get a handle on it and always falls over. She eats lots of fruits and vegetables now, along with cereal and has started to hold both her sippy cup and her bottle by herself. She loves waving at people and makes mouth noises while Chris and I are eating. It's such a blessing to have her in our lives! I'll post some pictures so you can see her throughout the past six weeks.
