Eleven Months

Olivia is almost one! She is such a sweet sweet baby, always full of smiles and laughter. Norm and I are enjoying parenthood so much and are blessed to have such a wonderful daughter.Olivia is quite the little explorer. She still loves crawling around and gets into everything she can. She's continuing to work on her skills by pulling herself up, standing and cruising. Occasionally she will let go of furniture and stand on her own in the middle of the room. I suppose she is testing her balance. Olivia has taken two to three steps on her own but falls back on her bottom.Here she is almost one and still no teeth. I suspect that teeth will be breaking through soon enough. She has little bumps on the top and bottom of her gums. Olivia is learning to eat regular food although she still enjoys sampling all the different purees of vegetables and fruits.Mommy and Olivia continue to enjoy attending their weekly playgroup. They are also taking a few different classes together; swimming, music & Sign Language.Olivia's new accomplishments are waving hi and bye-bye and saying uh-oh when she drops her binky. She is learning to play patty cake.
