Olivia is 10 months old!!!

How can it be that my sweet baby girl is already 10 months old!! It seems like this year has flown by and I feel like she is getting bigger by the minute!

Here is my sweet gal at 10 months old!!





*This month she finally had her well visit check.  For some reason we are almost a month behind schedule.  So for her 9 month well check she was actually 10 months old.  At 10 months and 1 week she weighs 19 pounds 3.5 ounces and is 29 inches long! The doctor said she is perfect and right on track with her development. 





 
*She is in 9 month clothing and still some 6 month sleepers if they are long enough.  
 
* This month Olivia also enjoyed her first 4th of July! She really enjoyed the fireworks and they didn't seem to bother her one bit!
 
 
 
*We also moved to Kentucky this past month!  Back to my hometown!  I am excited to start building our home and get settled.  Both of my kids were so good while I packed.  We had movers that packed up some of it but I am very OCD so I basically did their job for them!

* She is into EVERYTHING!!!!! I never had to worry about Brayden at all but Olivia is a totally different story.  She is such a nosy little girl and has to figure everything out.  She definitely keeps me on my toes. 
 
* She knows the meaning of NO and 9 times out of 10 she will listen but there may be tears involved. She is already working on the pouty face. :)
 
*She is not a big cuddler.  She has to be in the mood for it or be very tired.  Needless to say, if she is in the cuddly mood I drop everything for it because she is not that way very often.
 
*She LOVES her toys and gets so excited when she gets something new.  I have never seen a little one at her age get so excited over new toys.  It is adorable to watch.
 


 

*She is still doing the army crawl.  She will get on her knees and then stops and drops to her belly and takes off.  I am beginning to think that this will be the way she will crawl until she walks. 

*Her top two teeth are coming in and boy have they caused some fussiness.  They started coming in right after she turned 10 months old. Her top left tooth started coming in at 10 months and 2 days ad the right one at 10 months and 5 days. Bless her heart, she cannot seem to get any relief no matter what we do  These top two teeth have caused some restless nights for all of us.  She doesn't stay awake, but she wakes up fussing and then goes back to sleep and does it again and again throughout the night. 
 
 
*Her favorite thing is to play on our bed or in her crib.  She loves to play in the blankets and pillows.  Here she is playing in her crib one night before bed.   
 
 
 
* She loves music.  She also loves to be sung to.  I was laying in bed one morning and I heard both of my kids on the monitor so I just laid there in bed listening.  They were playing with each other and then Olivia started to get a little fussy.  Brayden started singing his ABC's to her and she stopped fussing.  Melted my heart.  He knew just how to calm her down. 
 
*She jabbers all the time and gets her little finger and points like she is telling every one something important.  So cute!
 
*She loves to give kisses.  Now anytime I put her in front of the mirror she will give herself a kiss! It is too cute!
  
*She absolutely LOVES her brother and wants to be around him all the time.  I love to sit back and watch them interact and play together. 




 
 Here they are riding in Brayden's car together.  They had a blast together!
 


*She is really trying to pull up this month. She will be pulling up in the next few days!

*She is still not a big eater and I am beginning to wonder if she ever will be.  It is not that she is picky she just doesn't eat a lot.  She still only takes about 5 ounces of formula.  She loves all the food that we have tried so far.  We have introduced mashed potatoes, carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, fried green tomatoes,  cucumbers and she loved it all!  I think she will love all kinds of food just like her mommy!

 
I guess that is all for a 10 month update! Here are a few more pictures of my baby girl!
 
 
 




 




 

 
Happy 10 months baby girl!!

Happy 4th of July!!


WOW! I cannot believe it is already time to celebrate the 4th of July!! It does not seem possible!! This post is going to just be full of pictures! We had three different 4th of July celebrations so we took lots of pictures!  I wanted to post them to keep for myself in our blog book so feel free to check them out.


The Saturday before the 4th we traveled to Illinois to celebrate the 4th with Nick's side of the family.

LOVE the country setting! Can't wait to get back to it!
Just some of the fireworks that was shot off that night.







 On Saturday, we headed to Kentucky again to celebrate with my mom.  We had a great dinner and played outside for most of the afternoon.  We were able to shoot off all our ground fireworks but unfortunately we were unable to shoot off the big stuff due to the rain.
