Picture Update

I realized that I haven't posted too many pictures of Olivia lately. Bad Mama!

I've been saying that I really don't see Olivia walking anytime soon, but maybe I'm wrong? She walks all the time when we hold her hands, ans she's starting to explore walking around furniture more and more! She also adores this tea set from Pier 1!

Yum! These tea cups are good!

At last! Enough hair for a little bow! Well, almost. They come out pretty easily. :-(

The other day, my mom, sister and I tried a new restaurant in town. Our order took a longer-than-average time, so without us even saying anything, the manager came and brought Olivia a dish of vanilla ice cream. We ate most of it, but we did let her have a little taste. Big mistake!!!! She grunted and screamed for more bites, so after way too many bites, we had to hide it.

The first bite was too cold . . .

She loved the smaller bites, though!

More smiles! I can't get enough! :-)

Oh, and Olivia CLEARLY understands "mama" now. She's been saying it and reaching for me for a few months, but now, everything is "mama". She wants to nurse, so she whines "mama" and crawls on my lap. If James is playing with her, and I walk by, she points and says "mama!" I love it! I love being a mommy! WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Ah! You've opened up to door to a question I need an answer to! Ok, so you let Olivia try ice cream. Which has milk in it. SO, in your opinion then I guess products with milk in them are ok to give her before she turns a year old? Cause some people say different things and my doctor was no help at all and didnt commit to either side totally. Im actually more curious about baby yogurt like Yo Baby. I mean it has a picture of a BABY on the front, so it must be ok right?

How neat about the "Mama" thing. Isn't that just the best! I completely melted when Lucas said it for the first time. And for a while now, when Jeff asks, "Where's Mommy?", Lucas immediately points to me. Makes me feel *so* incredible!!! :) Cute pictures, BTW!
