She's getting so big!

My little girl is getting so big! She turned 8 months old this weekend! We spent a long weekend together. I took Friday off, where Olivia and I joined Melissa and Meris for a shopping trip to the outlet mall in Howell. It was a lot of fun! The kids were so good. And they both slept the whole way home!

Saturday started off with swim lessons at the YMCA. This is her third week, and she is really starting to enjoy the water. She was splashing and giggling, something that she didn't do the last two weeks! So, we're getting there. She gets so worn out that she usually falls asleep on the way home - which she did again this week. She was sleeping so sound, that we decided I could do some shopping, while Travis sat in the car with her. I made it to Gymboree, Toys 'R Us and Target. Later on Saturday, since the weather was so nice, we went on a walk. Liv really seems to enjoy our walks. She giggles every time the wind blows in her face.

Sunday consisted of a project day for Travis and me. So, we switched off playing with Liv, which was also our reprieve from our job list! She is getting so funny. She stands up every moment she gets. She loves to stand up holding onto her toy box, and proceeds to empty the bin.

She also enjoys making faces and talking to the dark girl in the reflection of the dish washer! She will sit there, babbling, touching and making faces that the girl in the dish washer! In the last couple of weeks, Liv has also started clapping. Anytime we say "Yeah!", she will smile and clap. It is the cutest thing. She is just so adorable. She is such a source of entertainment for us. We have decided that before we had her, we were VERY boring people!
