My little baby is growing up!!

It seems like Olivia is changing so much right now. She is really growing up!!

I know that I will probably look back at this one day and think that she was such an itty-bitty baby....but right now, she seems so big to me!!

She is so strong and independant. Moving everywhere by herself. She has such a little personality now. I just can't wait to see what she is like as she gets older!

On the boat!
Watching Blake swim!

What a little peanut. I just love her!

Liv and nana swimming!!

She will be 8 month old on Saturday. I will do a manthly update post about her growth/accomplishments soon!!

Summer fun!

We have been having some HOT weather here in Michigan lately!! This weekend it looks like it will be raining....but we have been enjoying the boat and the lake on the sunny weekends!!

Blake loves to go on the boat and swim!! He jumps right off with no hesitation whatsoever. Ryan is always there to catch him!

My boys...cooling off in the lake!

My mom and Olivia hanging out on the boat while the boys swim!

Sweet baby Olivia!!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Blake says over and over, "Do again Daddy?!"


Olivia wishes that she was a little bit bigger so she could play too!!

But she is pretty content to just watch right now!!



I can hardly believe that July is almost over. Where is our summer going?! I am hoping that we can enjoy as much as posibly for the next few weeks!!

We've got a jumper!!

Ryan brought Blake's old Johnny-Jump-Up up from the basement on Monday for Olivia. She LOVES it and has spent hours in this thing since Monday!! She will just jump and jump and jump!! I can't believe how much out little Livi has developed and changed over the past month or so! I just love her to bits :)

Olivia is 7 months old!

Olivia is 7 months old today! I can’t believe that she is over the hump and on her way to 1 year old! So crazy!

We had her 6 month check-up today (so we are a month late, but that’s ok)! She is looking healthy and is growing. She is still a peanut, but we expected that.

She is in the 75th percentile for height
The 50th percentile for head circumference
And only the 3rd percentile for weight!

We need to put some meet on her skinny little bones. Blake was the same way at this age. The pediatrician wasn’t concerned, because Olivia IS growing and is healthy.

She can start eating 2nd foods and meats now so maybe that will bulk her up a bit!

She slept through the night last night (8:15 p.m. to 6:15 a.m.) for the first time! Hallelujah. Hopefully this is the start of something great! She woke up at 6:15 to eat and went right back to sleep. We had to wake her up at 8:50 to get ready for the doctor’s appointment.

Typically she has been waking up 1-2 times per night…but just to eat and then its right back to bed.

She is a pro at rolling now and rolls everywhere. She is trying to get into a crawl position, but isn’t quite there yet.

She can sit very good with assistance, but isn’t quite there on her own yet…maybe within the month though!

She wears a size 3 diaper…but they are a bit roomy! 2’s seemed too snug though.

She is in a 3-6 month size clothing…and some 6 months as well because she is getting tall!

She laughs all of the time…especially at her brother!

She is seriously the best baby ever. We just love her SOO much. She is so good and so sweet.

Although I just love her as a baby, I cannot wait to see what the future holds :)
