Olivia Turns 6 Months

Olivia has had another busy couple of weeks.  She is (of course) in high demand as she just keeps getting cuter and more active.  Grandma Lisa (aka the Nana formerly known as Grandma) conducted another baby photo shoot while Bob was out of town for a few days.

We used to enforce a 'no licking policy' in our dog/baby household until we realized that Olivia kept inviting the dogs over for the specific purpose of receiving a lick.  The new rule is now no uninvited licks, especially the walk by licking - which has seen a recent uptick in popularity.

She has also been especially excited for bath time now that she can sit up on her own in the tub and splash.  She likes to grab one of the washcloths and suck the water out whenever she gets a chance.

Getting ready for bathtime

Done already?  Could you put me back in the bath?

Olivia was glad that Adam (i.e. tummy daddy) braved the blizzard to come and see her.  It was so good to see Adam - and these pictures will give Olivia proof of where her hairline came from!

We also got to see Shelli (i.e. Tummy Mommy).  Olivia wasted no time rooting through her purse and finding the most interesting (and potentially messy) toys to latch on to.  We love that Olivia will always have these pictures and will know that she is loved by so many.

Wait - there's someone here to see me?  I just thought we were here to eat.

Olivia has decided to sleep on her tummy now.  Well, she has decided to roll over, yell at us, and then eventually fall asleep - then we sneak upstairs and roll her back over.

Olivia - preparing for her debut on X Factor

Olivia has caught a fairly nasty little cold this week, and it was difficult to get a good picture with the dog. We tried a new method of sitting the dog up in front of her.  She just keeps bigger and bigger.  We have an appointment with the pediatrician tomorrow and will find out just how much she's grown.
