Sweet Olivia is 9 months old

Olivia is already 9 months old and is growing so quickly. It's hard to believe that in less then 3 months (which will pass so quickly) she will be a year. This year has flown by for me, but some of the individual days have seemed quite long ! (Taking care of an infant and a 2 year old is quite a challenge). Here are some of my favorite pictures from her "photo shoot" today . I'm not a photographer, but try to do the best I can do here.

I tried my very best to get her to smile, but she wasn't doing it! I only got a few with her actually smiling. Maybe the sun was too bright in her eyes. Even the neighbor girls were trying to help me make her smile. The sweetest part of these pictures is that this little dress was mine when I was a baby. My mom gave me some of my baby clothes when I had Olivia, and I was thrilled to have her wear this one too. I'd love to see a picture of me in it too to see if we look alike.

Olivia at 9 months....has a HUGE appetite but still is a lot smaller than Luke was at this age; likes all food except for plain yogurt and pureed black eyed peas (I don't blame her); is starting to pull up a little bit; hates her stomach except when she's asleep; is lightning fast in her walker - maybe she won't crawl because she'd rather walk; thinks Luke hung the moon; loves splashing in the bathub; has 2 teeth and no signs of any other ones; is addicted to her giraffe blanket; loves being outside; acts so shy around other people sometimes; loves her Mommy :)

I love baby feet!!
