9 months!

 This crazy girl is now nine months.

I can hardly believe it.

We are loving all the new cute things she is learning to do. 

But at the same time I don't want her to grow up. 

I just want her to sit in my arms like a little baby and sleep.

But we all know that never happens even when they are newborns.

 Let me tell you a bit about this little spitfire. 

*She has about a 10 second attention span. No joke. You give her a toy and she of course gets all excited and plays with it, but after about 10 seconds she throws it and wants something else. I'm not going to lie it gets quite exhausting entertaining this child.

* She hits now. I have no idea how she learned but I can not tell you how many times I have gotten whacked in the face. Oh ya and she bites too. She's kind of a vicious one.
*She will not drink out of a sippy cup or bottle.  She only drinks out of a glass like we do.
*She loves to eat but only when she can eat the same thing as us.
*She loves the movie Finding Nemo. Whenever I set her in her little play saucer and turn it on she starts jumping and squealing with excitement.  She will even randomly giggle during the movie.
*When I talk on the phone to Michael and start laughing at something, Olivia will start laughing too.  She loves to be a part of everything.
*She loves to play pat a cake.  She wants to do it pretty much all day.
*She is a momma's girl.  If I am anywhere to be seen she wants me to hold her and will latch onto me like a little monkey when someone tries to take her.  The other day, I set her on the ground and started walking away and she seriously flung her little body forward and latched onto my leg haha. It was hilarious.
*She loves to be read to.
*She hates to sit on or touch the grass.
*She loves music. Pretty much any kind.  But she definitely has her opinion on what songs she likes and doesn't like. She will start crying when she doesn't like the song that is playing and when we change it she stops.
*She hates being in the car.  Her max is 1 hour TOPS.
*She is only ticklish when she wants to be. And she only smiles when she wants to.  She is a pretty serious baby.
*She sticks her tongue out all the time and loves to suck on her upper lip.
*She loves to stand up and hold onto either our hands or a chair or couch.
*She loves mountain dew. (Only a few little tiny sips). Michael introduced her to this and every time she see that green can she flips out.

I could probably go on and on but I will stop for now.
We love her cute little personality.  Not a day goes by that she doesn't put hundreds of smiles on our faces.
We love her so much.
