Winter Break

Breaks are supposed to be restful, right? Well this winter break was quite a busy one from holiday celebrations with families to visiting the doctors. Over break Liv ran quite the fever (we visited the doctor 3 weeks straight before getting down to it. We had a couple follow up appointments, but she received antibiotics and is on the mend finally.  During this we got to enjoy some sweet snuggles, just not much sleep.

She was the cutest little patient and such a trooper. Very grateful to helpful medical staff. We have a follow up ultrasound to see what our plan will be to make sure Olivia is healthy and well.

During break we also got to experience Olivia getting her first 2 teeth.....yep that's right 2! Our little girl is getting chompers :)

Olivia is continuing to sharpen her skills of walking-it seems you see you one place and the next second she is across the room, definitely speedy. She is also experimenting with using utensils during meals. She has good coordination, but sometimes she just likes to place the food on it and then take it right back off to put into her mouth. She's been showing some love to her new baby doll too, she was very interested in her cousin Avery's so she got one as well. 

Not everyone can make this look work, but somehow she does it.

She loves pulling off her books and looking through them. Read this one, no this one....wait maybe this one. 

 Liv is enjoying hearing herself trying out new sounds....grunts, screams, and squeals fill out house along with giggles (she definitely knows dog-points to both of them and says /daw/). She is now pointing to things she wants along with waving anytime someone enters or says hello and good-bye. She is a friendly little one as well-at the store or anytime there are kids around she is waving to them. 

A new game she is loving is getting chased or hearing "I'm going to get you"....she turns away or tries to crawl/walk away as quickly as she can while turning to make sure you're still coming. 

Stay tuned.....this little one is a sassy! She is going to keep us on our toes for sure :)

The start of 2015 sure was an experience. I wonder what else this year has in store for our family!!
