Eliz and Steve: April 2007

Easter 2007

Olivia is almost 8 months old in these pictures taken on Easter. The following week her top 2 front teeth came in. Developmentally, she also has a pretty good pincer grasp, babbles but started saying "mama" first, aggresive crawling motions (pre-crawling), gets around by scooting backwards, and rudimentary waving, mimicing "hi", making quack duck noises when we talk about ducks and started trying to pull her self up from sitting position. Latest new foods are pieces of zuchinni, pieces of peach, pureed peaches, millet grain cereal, brown rice cereal, whole wheat pasta pieces, and pieces of pear. She is growing and changing sooo fast! And I am loving every minute.

Visiting Nana at work.

Easter bunny cake for Olivia's first Easter, but she was already in bed so she didn't get any, so we had to eat it without her. ;-)

And this is Olivia in the big girl swing at our city park, another first. She loved it and really liked watching the other kids. They mesmerize her no matter where we are.

As promised here are some more pictures. This series is entitled "Lounging by the Pool". Olivia really enjoyed going in the pool with us and watching other kids.

Funny girl! Look at those feet!

This picture is a little underlit, but I love her expression. She is looking at her Dada near the end of another sunny day by the pool.

Ok, so of course, I am eating again, and little Olivia is playing with one of her favorite toys. It is an old Mylicon bottle (gas drops, couldn't have lived without them!). As many friends and family told us, you can buy your kids all kinds of fancy toys but they will want to play with regular household items and the packaging the toys come in!
