January

We are now in January, and Mommy has not updated in a while. Right now Olivia is busy playing with her toes, but some recent happenings are: she can sit up, crawl (though she'd rather try to get to standing), eat solids, and she has not one but two teeth (I found the second one yesterday!).
Her favourite food is Avocado though Marinara Sauce is a close second. She absolutely hates peas... and most green veggies come to think of it. (She literally gags!) She reaches for and holds her own bottle now - which is quite a task because we use the glass bottles, and they are heavy. She is best at it when reclining.
We have begun baby proofing everything because she is so much more mobile now. We lowered her crib and got an entertainment center... the center was free, and we thought the TV would fit, but it doesn't so now we need to get a smaller TV and either get rid of the old one or move it to the soon to be "family room". The breakables and the cords will all soon be hidden. I moved all of the medicines and personal hygiene products (razors, toothpaste, soap, etc) to the top shelves of the closet, and Jason has put plug covers on all of the plugs. Next we need to get the little "locks" for the cabinets. One I will leave without it, and have just a few pots and pans in. It is always fun for kids to play with those! She sure loves my measuring spoons!
She is changing every day. Just two days ago I went in to wake her up and I noticed she has enough hair now to have bed head! :)
