Gymboree Open Gym

Open Gym at Gymboree

Now that Olivia can hustle and bustle around, the open gym at Gymboree is perfect for her. She loves going through the tunnels and playing with the bouncy balls!

Almost 9 months and back home full time!

Boy does the time fly! Olivia is almost 9 months! She will be seeing the doctor soon for her 9 month check-up. We will have to address the spit-up issue which has gotten better, but is still a problem. We love our little one so much!

I am back home full time with Olivia. We decided that it would be best for me to stay home for now. We are hoping to do some more activities with our new friends!

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day 2008! We had the family over the house for a very nice father's day celebration...We had food on the grill, drinks on ice, balloons and cake (Banana Dream from Too Jays..yummy!) What more could we ask for!?!

We are getting ready for another busy week ahead! I am headed back to work and little Miss Olivia is going to Grandma and Grandpa's house. We are hoping that our new friends plan another beach or pool day for Friday because we were unable to make it last week :(

At the rate of Olivia's development, we think she will be walking by 9 or 10 months. She is a fast crawler and can easily pick herself up using something to support her.

We have switched her formula to a hypoallergenic one which we like to call "liquid gold" (thanks to my boss, Steve!) in hopes to stop any more spitting up. We will keep you posted :)

Olivia's first tooth

How exciting! Olivia's first tooth broke through last night! She didn't fall asleep until 9pm (her normal time is 7pm) and was awake by midnight. She would only sleep in mommy and daddy's bed and she had 2 doses of baby tylenol (in addition to the teething tablets which didn't do anything). We now know what it is like to have a teething baby! We hope she sleeps through the night tonight!!!

Almost walking @ 8 months!

Olivia loves to take both of my hands and pick herself up off the floor to stand. She also loves to get in that position and go for a walk with my help, of course! Olivia has become a very fast crawler and darts for whatever seems to catch her eye. She went to the waterpark today for the first time in Deerfield Beach. She LOVED it! It is a great place for the little ones to play in the shallow water with waterslides and shoots.

We met a great group of mommies and babies where we plan meet-ups and the waterpark was just one of the many events.

I began working part time again for about 4 days per week. Those days are exhausting and it is a challenge to balance working and being a mommy! Luckily, we have my parents here to watch Olivia for most of the time while I am at work.
