Dear Olivia,

You are getting so close to walking. I am so excited and pray every day I get the chance to witness those first few baby steps! It would be even better if your Dad and I could both be there, but beggers can't be choosers! ;) I thought you were going to do it today, but you chickened out last minute. You can stand forever on your own, so I know you have the balance. But you just don't have the courage to take that first step! Don't you worry baby girl, I know you'll do it. :)

You hair is getting so dang long. Okay so, it's still short, but it's long comparing where we started from. It's to the point now that I feel like I have to pull it up or something, otherwise you look like a little rag a muffin. I cute one, but still. You hate it when I do your hair! I wish you were more patient because I'm thinking I could probably do two tiny pony tails if you would just sit still. But if there is one thing I am learning about you, you are a stubborn girl. You know what you want and you will work till you get it.

Still no new words. I think you just like observing people. And you point to most things you want so that makes it pretty easy to figure out! :)

Still just 4 teeth. I think you might be teething because you sure have been wanting to nurse all the time. Yes we are still somewhat nursing. To be honest I don't know if I have much to give anymore. You nurse so sporadically I'm never sure when you are going to want it or not. Though you are my first child (I know I only have 2) that has asked to nurse. I mean you don't say the words but you'll tug on my shirt or hit my breasts. It's kind of strange. Bently never did that you and haven't till now. I honestly don't mind nursing, I just am getting ready to be done. I'm willing to go with the flow though! :)

I love you so much my beautiful girl. Today I was watching you crawl on the floor and I just kept thinking "I can't believe I have a daughter." It's so incredibly strange to me that I have a little girl. It seems more and more real as you get older. I love it when you cuddle your baby dolls, or when you let me put your hair in a tiny ponytail. I can't wait for all the memories and adventures we're going to share together! I love you more than anything!

Love,
Mom
