Let's see if I can remember how to do this. I'm not even sure I remember how to type when it's not being done on my iPhone. YIKES! So far so good! I'm typing at a standard pace. I'm no stenographer, but HEY! They type shorthand anyhow.
Updates updates! To start with, I don't need to say that we've been SUPER busy. OK, just me! Well, I guess Olivia and me make a WE!! Last month had a plenty of momentous milestones for Sweet Baby Olivia. She held a bottle all by her little self. I'm sure it would have happened sooner if she was given a bottle more often. No worries!! She also had her first dip in a pool. It wasn't the greatest experience for her, but she still enjoyed it. I think she prefers the bath tub so much more. Her biggest accomplishments were crawling, and transitioning from crawl to sit. She first started crawling around the beginning of the month (the 8th... I save all the days). However, it wasn't a full on crawl. She would mostly do the baby version of an Army crawl. Every once in a while she'd get up on all fours, but didn't cover much ground that way. She was quite quick with her Army crawl and always used that mode of transportation. Then, on the 26th, that all changed. She just started crawling on all fours and has been ever since. Just a few days before all that, she pulled herself up. I was sitting on the couch, about to send Carl a text, she crawled over, and up she went!!! It was amazing. It was only a matter of time before pulling herself up morphed into scaling the furniture. Which brings us to NOW!!! This past Monday she became a little more mobile by scaling the furniture. We are now into nail-biting territory as she likes to pull herself up and move all around whatever she pulled herself up on. Sometimes it's from the recliner to the couch, or couch to recliner. She can't always make the gap, but bless her heart, she tries. Now so those momentous "FIRST STEPS" are only right around the corner.
I will leave you with this picture to brighten your day:
I will also make more of an effort to keep you updated. It just seems like I get caught up on one thing only to fall behind on 2 others. It doesn't help when Olivia changes her naps without any warning. We went from 3 naps to 2 this month. YES, that gives me more time to spend with her, and a better opportunity to get errands run without having to plan around naps. However, I am left without a naptime that I used to get stuff done around the house. Now that we've adjusted and gotten as caught up as I can, I think I'll be able to make time to "BLOG."
