10 Months!

Time sure flies when you have a sweet, easy going baby!  This past Friday Olivia turned 10 months old.  And once again I'm amazed at how fast this first year is going!  The above picture was taken on Thursday in the van while we waited for Faith to finish her piano lesson.  Right now Thursdays are our busiest days - especially when Steve is at work!  On that day Olivia was awoken from her nap to bring Faith to her lesson, and ate her afternoon snack in the van because as soon as Faith was finished with piano we had to rush home for Faith to change into her soccer gear and head to soccer practice.  After soccer we picked up some dinner and took it home to eat before leaving once again for Shane's soccer practice.  And through it all, Olivia just goes with the flow and is happy to eat her snack in the van and dinner at Shane's practice in the stroller. 

In terms of milestones, Olivia is not yet crawling, but it could be any day!  Including today!!  She gets on all fours, rocks, moves her hands, moves one leg, but that's it!  She loves to feed herself, and is starting to really try to talk.  Some of the things she can say include Mama, Dada, diaper, ball, and cowboy!  This stage of growth is so amazing to me as Olivia appears to learn something new each day!  What a fun, sweet addition she is to our family!

Here is Faith in front of her very cool team banner for soccer!  I finally remembered to take her picture in front of it!

 

Finally, Shane earned his vest, book, and bag in Sparks this past week at Awana!  He was so proud and excited!  To earn these things, he had to memorize John 3:16.
