Olivia had her 8 month birthday while we were on our vacation. As y'all know, we always take a picture of her on her monthly birthdays with the blocks saying how old she is. So, of course, we had to take the blocks with us and capture this special monthly birthday.Olivia seems to be changing so much on a daily basis that I can barley keep up. I am trying so hard to store away all of her special moments in my memory. I think I have prayed over and over this month for God to please help me to always remember this moment. Time slips away before we are ever ready for it to. I know that I say this every month but she is such a joy to be around. Hays and I just smile and laugh at her all the time.
She still growls all the blessed time. I'm not sure if this child will ever begin to talk because she is always so busy growling (surely she's not the only baby in the world that does this, right???). She has not begun to crawl yet but is well on her way. She's trying to get those legs under her but just can't seem to gather the strength to do so. She is very content just sitting up and taking EVERYthing in (she is the nosiest child I know). She has started saying "da da" which pleases Hays to no end. Olivia has also started swaying or dancing to music. She still only has 2 teeth but I can tell the top ones are well on their way to making this girls life tough for a few days in the near future. I also have quickly found out that she does NOT enjoy her swing or bouncy seat any longer. I wish I could remember and write down every little detail and milestone she has overcome this month so when I am old and my memory has failed me I can pull this blog up and remember. So....here's to whatever the next month will hold for our little girl.
