6 months already!

Yesterday we celebrated Olivia's 6-month birthday! Time has flown by so quickly. Our baby is getting bigger. She is sitting up for a few minutes before she topples over. She loves to play with her toys and her favorite seems to be a pink monkey on a ring decorated like a candy cane with red and white stripes. We received this money toy from Nicole and Kevin for Audrey's first Christmas. Audrey never really played with the toys like Olivia does.

Olivia is all about discovering the world around her. She loves anything that is put in front of her. Some of her favorites include, paper, books, crinkly sounding toys, balls, and anything that she can get away from her sister. Olivia is learning to be alert and on her toes, trying to fend off her sister. Overall Olivia is very tolerant of her sister. Audrey loves to tuck her in with blankets, but will also pull them over her head. The two girls are so cute together when they are hanging out on the floor both lying on their tummies.


It just warms my heart that Olivia will always have the lover of her older sister. Audrey wants to play with Olivia so badly. She is so patient at times but quickly forgets my warning and is too rough with Olivia. I do feel bad taking her away and giving her a time out just because she hugged her little sister with too much enthusiasm.

At 6 months Olivia is such a big girl.  I can put her on a blanket and she plays with all of her toys and moves around the floor for over an hour.  She loves it!

Audrey's friend Ryan came over for a visit last week and gave Olivia her first wagon ride.   It was so precious!
