Time Goes By - 8 Months

Man o man. Here we are in October already, and it's practically over! Halloween has sprung upon us, and we are preparing to roam our neighborhood tomorrow night in hopes of striking candy gold. What we'll do with all of that candy I'm not sure yet... O is going to be an adorable bumblebee, and I her keeper. Dad is working out of town, but MIGHT make it back to join us. Auntie D. will be coming too, and I'm so excited!

Not only is Halloween big and exciting, but so much has been happening in the last few weeks. Let me take a minute to recap and tell future O about it...

Future Olivia, you are amazing and you learn so quickly! Just two weeks ago you were only able to get up onto your knees and rock back and forth. Then, one day you woke up and BAM! you were crawling! As if crawling wasn't enough, you have begun to pull yourself up and are desperately wanting on those tiny feet of yours. Watch out world!

Your words are beginning too. You can say "mama" and are trying so hard to say "da-da" but it comes out as "fa-fa" which is equally adorable. I swear you said "banana" yesterday, but it only happend once. Screaming is still a favorite of yours. It's starts as squealing and squeaky and then, "AHHHH!" you scream at the top of your lungs! it's so much fun to laugh with you and m mimic back and forth. You're so cool.

We've added a new tidbit to our nap time routine, you now require me to read you the Dr. Seuss ABC book. In my bed. With the covers up. It's pretty damn adorable. You soak in every word and picture. Although your attention span is short, so I have to read quickly, but you love every minute of it and that's so awesome.

You are growing so quickly. It is so much fun.

You go girl.

Happy 8 months little lady & Happy Halloween!
