9 Month New Yorker


My Livie Love is 9 months! She turned 9 months a while ago, but it has been hard to update the blog and get things done while we have been exploring New York and New Jersey. Sorry!

This past month Livie and I traveled to the east coast to be with Daniel while he is working on a temporary job opportunity. She was a great traveler and such a trooper during our extremely long day of flying. Her favorite part I think was figuring out how the plane trays worked haha! She is such a smart girl. After watching me turn the knob and pull the tray down, she pushed it back up and fiddled with the lock to shut it several times!

She has been mimicking many things things this month. When I make a noise to signal her to stop doing something, she likes to make it back to me. She will also go back and forth copying and making noises with Daniel. Livie has also learned to wave and say please, eat, more and all done in baby signs.

"More!"
Another new feat for Olivia is..... she is army crawling! Livie can pretty much get anywhere she wants now by pulling herself along with her arms. We used puff snacks to coax her into moving forward instead of pushing backwards! It worked! She can also push herself into a sitting position from her belly!

Livie is still pretty even tempered and easy going! Although she will definitely let you know when she has had enough with something. She has done SO well exploring the city all day with us. She loves meeting new people everywhere we go. She smiles at everyone and they just melt in her hands. I have never seen one little person have such an affect on so many people when they just look her way. She is a doll!

Museum of Natural History
Empire State Building
Bronx Zoo
Wax Museum
The past few weeks Olivia has been teething A LOT! She is cutting 4 teeth on the top. Bringing the total to 6 teeth! I will be so glad when they are all in. Teething is no fun for anyone.

With all these teeth Livie is widening her repituar of foods. She is now loving string cheese, black beans, broccoli, french fries and bread!

Well that is all for now!
