Olivia- 6 months

Olivia is 6 months old! In the last 6 months, Olivia has blessed our family with such a happy and sweet personality. She can sit up completely on her own and enjoys playing with toys, especially books. She had her first baby food, sweet potatoes:

At her 6 month check-up, she weighed in at 16 lbs. (50th percentile) and 25 inches (25th percentile). She's a happy and healthy girl!

And here she is playing at 5 months, 3 weeks old:

Olivia- 5 months

Miss Olivia Grace turned 5 months old yesterday! She is growing beautifully! She weighs about 16 lbs. and is about 25 inches long. We call her our little teapot- short and stout. Her eyes are still the prettiest shade of blue and that gorgeous thick brown hair is growing longer. She doesn't have any teeth yet but she's definitely teething. She chews on anything that she can get her chubby little hands on! Especially her beloved Sophie the Giraffe.

She doesn't show much interest in rolling over either way but she can sit up all by herself for several minutes at a time. Olivia loves to squeal and "talk" to us- especially when she's playing in her exersaucer.

Olivia sleeps in about 5 hour stretches at night. She still wants to wake up to hang out with mommy at least once, usually twice during the night. But I don't mind- I enjoy the quiet snuggles with my smallest baby at night.
