Watching TV

Now that Olivia is pulling up and balancing well, she likes to watch tv from the standing position. And where is her favorite place to perch? The tv stand inches away from the tv as she then bites on the glass stand. No accidents so far, but we may have to see a physical therapist for neck strain.

Ball pit!!

Rachel, Olivia's babysitter, has an inflatable ball pit at her house that the kids love. So yesterday I was at Toys R Us and saw this one and couldn't stop myself from buying it for her. She had a great time climbing in and out of it and crawling around and around in it all night. You think we might need a few more balls for the pit?

Tupperware

How fun can Tupperware be? Twenty minutes worth if you're Olivia!!! She's just realizing she can open the cabinets so we let her explore this baby friendly one. It's nice when something so simple can totally engross her. She had a blast pulling everything out and of course banging it all on the floor.

Jump, jump, jump

That's pretty much all Olivia wants to do right now. She is crazy about the jumper. She will bounce as long as you let her and will even fall asleep doing it. Great parenting, I know.

Eating cereal

We started Olivia on brown rice cereal about two weeks ago. She seems to enjoy everything about it. She wants to hold the spoon and jab it into her mouth, nose, eyes, just about anywhere. Then she likes to stuff her face with the bib while the cereal is still in her mouth. While all of this is going on she's also jabbering to you. We'll probably start carrots this weekend. Wish us luck!

Need some help with your computer?

Olivia has been working on her keyboard skills. Anyone need some letters typed or a program debugged. She's ready to help!

Putting up the Christmas tree

Look at what a big helper Olivia can be. She's checking the lights on the bottom of the tree while cooing a Christmas carol.
