Hi everyone,
As embarrassing as this is, I actually forgot that I have a blog! I guess this summer has been a little crazy for us. So, I will give a little update on the last couple of months. Olivia got her first tooth around 7 1/2 months old and since then they have been coming one right after another. She now is working on her 6th tooth! In my opinion, she is handling the teething fiasco quite well. :)
About a month after her first tooth came in, she started crawling and hasn't stopped. I have a feeling she takes after her daddy in this way. Apparently he was quite the busy troublemaker when he was a baby. I think I'm going to have my hands full.... oh wait, I already do!
Our lives have been good. Marcus is working the evening shift at the machine shop where he works. It was an adjustment for us, falling into a new routine, but we are all really liking the change (especially since he has Friday, Saturday and Sunday off work!).
We also recently started going to a new church, Hillcrest Christian Fellowship. It is the church Marcus sort of grew up in and his grandma and aunt still attend. It seems like a really good fit for us right now and I think great-grandma is enjoying seeing Olivia so often.
I feel like I am writing a Christmas update letter. Well, I'll stop here. Now, off to post more photos of the baby. We love you all!

Our blog is for friends and family who we aren't able to see as often as we would like. Now you can see how fast Olivia is growing, even though we can't be near. We love you all!
Olivia's growing up!
- Olivia's vocabulary is growing daily it seems! Among some of her most used words are: light, squirrel (which sounds more like "earl"), baby, dadda, momma, ball, balloon, cat, wow, Leah ("Lala"), Sophie ("Zoh!") and Zuzu. It's a hoot to hear her try new words as she discovers new sounds and how to make them. We have a jabberbox in the family! 3/30/10
- Another milestone that I had forgotten would come... climbing. Our little girl has discovered the thrill of climbing whatever she can find that is higher up than the floor. We have moved to a whole new level of "babyproofing" as I now am trying to keep her off of the kitchen chairs, glider and ottoman. Next it will be the couch and bookshelves! 2/24/10
- Walking here we come! On November 6th, Olivia took her first steps. She still prefers crawling, since she can get around faster, but she practices walking everyday. I'm sure it won't be long before she is cruising around on two legs.
- Now at 9 months, she has 5 teeth, is an avid crawler, walks along while holding onto furniture and is quite the talker! She loves to "people watch" and is becomming quite the little ham. It's funny to see little bits of Marcus and my personalities in her, and yet even more of her own. 9/18/09
- More and more she is becomming her own little person. I love to watch her play with her feet and scream just because she can! It seems like she's always smiling and I'm thankful she's such a happy baby. 5/19/09
- She talks a lot now by cooing, squealing and sighing. Her favorite way to communicate however, is by grunting! 1/18/09
- She smiled her first real smile at 4 weeks. See picture below :) 12/28/09
Smile!
