Olivia is getting better and faster at pulling up, and once she is up she is more stable on her feet. This last week she has started letting go and balancing while standing up. She will let go to switch what she's holding on to, or to play with a toy, up to about five seconds before she plops down on her bottom. She has also started to walk while holding on, either to my hands, or pushing a big toy.
She is crawling much faster now. Sometimes Elena will crawl with her, it's so cute! They laugh and laugh.
Olivia is eating a few more things. Not many - I am still not very aggressive about introducing new foods. She is eating kamut puffs and the Gerber banana puffs. Also carrot. I gave her a cooked carrot to gum up. She did pretty well with that, though I'm not sure how much got down. I'm planning to puree some for her sometime. She also tried applesauce, which she didn't like, but that opened up the world of apple for us, so for teething I have given her a slice of cold apple. She loves that. She actually eats some of it, too, though I have to be careful of her breaking off chunks. Regardless of what I feed her, she still loves to scavenge for food! Anything she can find. :)
She is still eating breakfast around 7:30 or 8, though lunch is usually puffs while Andrew and I eat at 12 or 12:30. Dinner has moved up to 4:30. I can push it, though, if we're out.
She nurses at 9, 12, 3 and 6, at bedtime, then once in the night - early in the morning.
Her hair is growing in a little more in the back, and it's starting to curl! It's so cute. :) Still no hair on top, though!
She is starting to sign a little more - hands up in the air for all done after eating. It's so adorable. She also waves.
We love our sweet girl! She is so expressive and loving. :)
