Starting to crawl

First Easter

Olivia's first Easter was so much fun. The weather was great, the food was delicious, she played with her Kuya AJ all afternoon, and for once there were plenty of seats in tbe living room because everyone was up in the playroom! We can't wait until she can do an Easter egg hunt!

Dancing with the Tears Stars

I love watching Dancing with the Stars. Kitty used to be my watching buddy, but now it's Olivia who gets startled when I start clapping after an especially good performance, plus she's a better dancing partner. We just watched last Monday's episode and Danica McKellar's (aka Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years) performance had me bawling my eyes out. Now usually there will be one or two performances per season that will have me tear up or even sob a little, but this one really did a number on me. The story and the song lyrics hit too close to home- it's as if Winnie Cooper looked into my soul!  But seriously though, it was beautiful and I'm glad I had Olivia to hold onto and dance with for this one.

Seven months

I can't believe how much you are doing now at seven months! You've started eating solid foods and you love to eat (like your parents!). You love sweet potatoes, bananas, carrots, mangoes and papaya, but avocados not so much.  You can hold yourself sitting up for longer and longer, and it's so cute how you start to lean until you sloooowly fall over. You're starting to scoot backwards and around like a clock, not quite forward yet, but you'll be crawling before we know it! You're still experimenting with sounds like mum mum mummmm and bababaaaaa, and lately, coughing and grunting. With all of these new things you're doing, what can I expect from you this month?
