"dada"

Just needed to share the news that little Miss Olivia said "dada" today for the first time! We are so excited!

Olivia is trying to crawl @ 6 months

Wedding Weekend

Miss Olivia is now 6 months old and 18 lbs! She is a precious little angel. Unfortunately, she has thrush and a cold on top of it. I think it upsets me more than Olivia. We have been trying to take it easy since Adina and Daniel's wedding weekend. Friday night was the Auf Ruf at the temple. Sat night was the pre-celebration at Daniel's parent's house and Sun was the wedding. It was a very busy and enjoyable weekend!

Olivia went to work with mommy for the first time today. Since grandma got sick, she couldn't watch little Olivia. Olivia did very well considering mommy couldn't give her 100% attention all day. She now has a time card and is learning how to work the Duplo. (collator machine)...LOL!!!
More to come...

Miss Olivia is now 5 1/2 months old! She is 17 lbs! She put her toes in her mouth for the first time this week. She is rolling over all the time now and loves to sleep on her belly, esp on mommy and daddy's bed! We got a new convertible car seat this week and will be installing it tonight. It is a big girl seat because it can hold up to 65 lbs and can sit rear or front facing. Olivia is almost sitting up on her own. Daddy lowered her mattress so that she can't fall out when she is pulling herself up on the sides of the crib. More to come...

Our visit to Georgia

We got the car back from the shop in great condition from the collision center a little over a month after the accident. It was just in time for our vacation to Georgia. It took us 12 hours to drive there and Olivia did wonderfully. We had a very nice time visiting Eric's family where Olivia met Grandpa Laine and her cousins, Austin and Madison for the first time. Olivia can now flip over to her belly and push up with her arms for quite some time. She actually prefers to sleep on her belly now. She has been sleeping more at night!! Yipee!! Unfortunately, both Eric and I caught colds after returning home. Luckily, little miss Olivia isn't sick.

Olivia is very expressive and already knows what she likes and dislikes. She is doing very well with her rice cereal and fruit. We will soon begin adding veggies to her diet for lunch! More to come...

Our first photo session

If you haven't already yet (and have little ones), you need to go to Babies R Us to have a photo session! Olivia was a trooper for 20 minutes changing in and out of wardrobe and posing for the camera! These photos are absolutely precious!

We went to Lion Country Safari yesterday. Olivia absorbed quite a bit with all the animals and rides. It was a great way to spend a gorgeous Sunday afternoon with the family.

Daddy is in Orlando tonight :( for his annual meeting. We miss him already. He returns tomorrow night :)

It's about that time for me to sign off and get some much needed sleep...

Busy week

It has been a busy week for the Laine household! Monday, Olivia got her 4 month shots and then began eating cereal for the first time. She now has rice cereal for breakfast and dinner. Olivia has also been getting one bottle of formula mixed into her diet before bedtime. It seems to help her sleeping...we shall see if it lasts!

We spent some time at Target this week getting some much needed supplies like a highchair, a new bathtub, a mobile and some new pjs because she has grown out of her ones at home.

Olivia went to Gymboree for the first time this week. The owner gave us free membership for the month so we are enjoying our very nice gift!
Olivia enjoyed all of the activities like tummy time (pictured) and the singing. Olivia is extremely attentive and loves to smile.
