Olivia turns 7 months

Olivia turned 7 months old this week!  She is getting more and more adorable every day, we can't believe it!

She is incredibly precocious.  She loves hearing herself speak and is constantly holding conversations with whomever is nearby whether it be one of us, one of her doting relatives, or even one of the dogs.

She loves her new baby brother, and is constantly trying to grab at his face and hands.  We think they're going to get along quite well.

A family friend recently did a photoshoot for our family + Nana and Papa.  We were quite pleased with the results.

Last weekend, we took Olivia to the temple to have her sealed to us for time and all eternity.  It was such a special moment to have our whole family dressed in white and sealed together.  We will always remember that beautiful day surrounded by our friends and family and holding our two wonderful babies.

Olivia liked the temple, everyone paid lots of attention to her -- her favorite!

We've been enjoying the transition to springtime.  Olivia loves going outside for walks, rides in her bike trailer, and animal watching.

She's gotten superb at scooting backwards and twirling herself around.  When she's on the ground, she goes through ridiculous shenanigans to try and get at an interesting toy or electronic item that's just out of reach.  We still think she'll be crawling soon, but she hasn't done it yet!

Olivia loves her Papa -- he lets her play with his awesome glasses case!  They are tv watching buddies.

Olivia had to get a new carseat, she had grown too long for her old one!  So we gave the old one to baby brother Henry, and got this new orange one for her.  Here she is asleep after a long car ride.  You can see she got sweaty during her nap.

Nana and Papa decided to start raising chickens.  So we gave Olivia this toy chick to play with and told her all about chickens.  A few days later, we made it up to see the baby chicks; Olivia loved them! She sat and stared at them through their plastic cage and banged on the side until they pecked at the plastic back at her.  We're ready for Easter!
