..im awful..

i am so sorry i never post anything. there is always so much to tell! why dont i ever share?! i dont know.. im always having fun with miss olive.

but i need to be better. i want to remember things she is doing. i want her to be able to look back and read how much we loved her and how she was growing. i want this to be a sort of journal of our lives and hers! please. help. me. okay.. im determined. whether i not i post it for the world to see.. i will still write.. something. so for now i am going to post about what olive is doing now.. how she is growing.. how she is doing. in between these posts there very well may be catch up posts so i am sorry if they dont go in order. anyways....

olive is 6 1/2 months. time has flown in some ways and in others it feels like she has been here always. she is getting so big and is stinkin adorable.

still as bald as ever but i am starting to see hope of hair coming. there are a few long strands that blow in the wind. i think i will cry when they fall out. she is very tall and skinny but does have those adorable chubby cheeks that are irresistable for kissing and rolly polly thighs that you have to tickle and pinch when you change her diaper but for the most part.. she is her daddys girl.. long and slender. girly is almost sitting up on her own. she can roll from her back to her belly and her belly to her back but if she rolls from her back to her belly first.. she cant quite seem to figure out how to get in position after that to roll back to her back.. or maybe she is too tired from building up the back to belly roll. (hopefully that made sense.)

she hates tummy time and will only tolerate it if me or daddy are down there with her coaxing her.

miss hungry pants is now eating rice cereal and has tried bananas.. sweet potatoes.. squash.. applesauce.. peas.. and pears. she does not like bananas and shivers.. gags.. closes her lips.. turns her head.. spits them out.. does whatever she can to tell you that they are disgusting and cant believe you are actually trying to feed them to her. sweet potatoes and pears on the other hand are fantastic and she cant get enough of them.

rice cereal is her favorite solid/semi solid food. she goes "mmmmm" every bite.

im not kidding. mommas milk is still her favorite thing ever though. fine with me. i love the bonding time it gives us. so that is a semi update on her. we are amazed every day by her and cant believe we lucked out so much.

punchie is the best baby anyone could ever ask for. will go days without crying. unless we are trying to get her to sleep in her own bed.. thats another story. we do the bed sharing thing. i will post more about that another time. just so you know.. it works for us for now so im going to be brutally honest and tell you to keep your negative comments about bed sharing to yourself because we love it and wouldnt change it.. yet. there is a yet though. : )

but for now i will leave you with pictures you can drool over. love. this. girl.
