Happy Half Birthday!

Where did the last 6months go? Olivia continues to be a perfect baby (biased, I know)! Andy and I love her more and more every day and can't imagine life without her. It's amazing how much she has changed...she is sitting, crawling and pulling herself up on furniture, we may have an early walker! She has developed quite the personality and has definately learned what she likes and doesn't like and she isn't shy about expressing it...must get that from daddy!
We can't wait to see what the next six months brings!
Love you baby girl!

She had her 6 month well check and she is doing great.
She is 15lbs, 4oz (35%) and 26 1/8in (65%)...still a little peanut!







Pictures are getting much harder to take! She has no patience for sitting still!

big girl tub...

Our little fishy loves the tub and so does Lucy...it was like two baths in one!

Playing at the park...

Little Fish

We took Olivia swimming and she loved it...what a little fishy! Daddy on the other hand was not a fan of the cold water.

Tall Ship Festival

The Tall Ship Festival was in town a few weekends ago and we went with Grandma and Grandpa Webb...it was very neat!

ohh...I stood up too!

(with just a little help from daddy)

Our BIG girl...

Olivia is now sitting and crawling! We are pretty sure that life as we know it is over...welcome chasing, redirecting and the word "no."
How did she get so big, so fast?

We survived the chicken pox...

The chicken pox are almost gone, just a few scabbed up little poxs are left.
Again, Olivia was such a trooper!
Here are the BEFORE and AFTER photos...

Chickie Poxies

Olivia has the Chicken Pox (or Chickie Poxies according to Andy...apparently it sounds less severe).
Olivia woke up Monday with a few "spots." We had been on a walk Sunday nite and I just assumed the "spots" were mosquito bites. There were a few more "spots" on Tuesday...again we didn't think anything of it. She had been outside again and Lucy always seems to be bringing mosquitos in the house with her. AND then she woke up Wednesday with "spots" all over herself. I called the MD who suggested we bring her in. I googled the spots (love WebMD!) and knew right away they were the chickie poxies, which Dr. Perry confirmed immediately. He said bring her home, keep her isolated and give her baby tylenol if she seems uncomfortable. He explained that she now does not need the 2 vaccines (which I love, I'm not a fan of loading her full of shots) and a natural immunity was better than the shot could provide anyway. She won't have scars, because she doesn't realize that she can scratch them (although Andy and I might pick just one to scratch for the scar- it seems like a right of passage almost).
Andy and I have both had the pox as kids, so the MD figured we should be fine.
Olivia has been such a trooper...she seems to have no idea that she is covered in little, pink, itchy "spots."

DAY 1 (not so bad)and DAY 2 (much worse). Hopefully DAY 3 isn't so bad!

On a postive note...she is almost sitting up and crawling on her own!

playing with lucy...

Olivia and Lucy are still the best of friends!
