Eric and Krystal

I know this is a bit soon for my normal posting (haha!), but in the last week Olivia has had some new developments. Of course I had to share them!

Last Wednesday Eric went into get Olivia out of bed and found her on her hands and knees. She is now getting to her hands and knees, rocking back and forth, scooting her knees and dives forward to get to things she wants. She also rolls around on the floor to get to what she wants. She also likes to scoot around on her belly to get places! I don’t think we realized how quickly she would start moving. We have been talking about the baby gate we need for the top of the stairs and now we know we have to get it soon!

Now when Olivia gets excited she bounces and waves her arms. It is really cute! She is also starting to giggle more. I can sometimes get her to giggle by tickling her just right, but for the last few days she will just giggle for no apparent reason which makes us laugh and the she laughs again!

We tried green beans this morning for the first time. She ate every spoonful I gave her, but she had a look the whole time, like “uh, mom, what are you trying to give me?” I can only imagine what she was thinking especially since the only taste she knows is breast milk!

And finally…Olivia can now sit on her own!!! She can’t get into the sitting position on her own yet, but she is really close!

I see that it is definitely time of an update! Things have just been so busy here! I have been working four 10-hour days one week and then 5-eight hour days the next. I have been meaning to post, but when I look at my time I quickly realize that spending that time with Eric and Olivia is sooo much more important!

I have been trying to finish this post for over a week!!! So without further ado…

In May we went down to San Antonio and spent some time with Eric’s parents and his brother’s families. It was a great time! We hadn’t all been together in a long time! I really wish that we could all get together more often…it is always so much fun!

In June we went to my sister’s high school graduation and her senior dance recital. I can hardly believe that she is old enough! I am so proud of her!

Olivia is now rolling over front to back and vice versa. She can almost sit on her own, but she is still a little wobbly. At her fourth month appointment the doctor said to start trying rice cereal. At 4 1/2 months it seemed to really hurt her tummy so we waited over 2 weeks and tried again. She seems to be doing much better now. She practically attacks the spoon! It is pretty cute!!!

I hope to get new pictures posted soon. When I get them in the photo gallery I will post to let you know! Here is a picture to hold you over until then!
