11 Months Old

How can this little girl be 11 months already?  It's hard to believe that time is going by so quickly!  It's not the being 11 months old so much that is getting to me, but the fact that after 11 months comes the one year mark!  How did it go by so quickly??  The above picture was taken a few days before she actually turned 11 months, and it was taken by Grandma Poelstra when she and Aunt Joan were visiting!  I like how it shows her curly hair!

We continue to see more and more of Olivia's personality shinning through.  While she is still such a sweet, go-with-the-flow, easy little girl, she is also starting to show her anger when something is taken away!  And now that she is fully crawling, she is totally high maintenance and into absolutely everything!  She loves to go for the book shelves and take out all of Faith's school books!  And in general, she seems to like books as she has a few of her own that have become favorite toys. 
 
One thing that has been fun lately is dressing her in many of Faith's old clothes.  It seems as though I have more that fit her now as her growth is not so rapid and she is staying in sizes a little longer.  The picture above shows the two girls - Olivia at 10 months and Faith at 9 months - wearing the same outfit! 

Finally, in addition to crawling, working on talking, and discovering every inch of the house, Olivia is working on two more teeth!  The top two teeth came in last month, and she is not getting her third and fourth bottom teeth in.  While she cannot tell us this, I am sure she is glad as she continues to want absolutely everything that anyone else is eating!  She really loves to eat and enjoys just about everything!  She wasn't too crazy about the zucchini I made for dinner last night, but it seemed rare to find something she didn't like!
 
Next up will be Halloween posts!  You don't want to miss seeing pictures of Steve in his costume!!
