 Olive lately...   Poor girl, I haven't really taken the time to write about her milestones and all that she has been up to!  I looked back at the blog when it was just for Emma and I wrote ALL about her almost daily!!!  I guess that is normal for the second, but STILL!
So...  she is a little talking queen.  ALWAYS talking, ALWAYS something to say!  Da da da da is a favorite, among many other gurgles, coos, consonants and vowels, grunts and low elongated noises.  She cracks us up with her expressiveness.
She started eating cereal or veggies with us at Lunch and dinner, and she still enjoys waking up in the night!  Usually twice.  I KNOW I could let her cry it out and she would probably stop, and maybe I will sometime if Emma is gone, but I haven't the heart and I don't want her to wake Emma up...  So, I can deal.  Emma was 11 months, that isn't long off:)
Olive loves to chew on anything and everything, especially her spoon, her bib, or just about anything else you set in front of her!  She also like to shake things to see if they make noise, and if they do she will carry on and on.  She is sitting up nice and strong and work as hard as she can to get to what she wants, especially if it is an electronic of some sort - a remote, a computer, and iphone:)  Olive seems especially sensitive to noises and pays close attention when she hears something different, or if something is loud.  
She is as easy going as they come, as long as I am around (and she is getting that way with my mom as she has had her two days a week).  She has come to rehearsal with me on a couple of occasions and will just hang out, enthralled by the dancers, take a little nap when she is tired, and then join us after a bit!  She will go just about anywhere, and even nap at the raging loud Mall of America amusement park!  She has finally gotten on a sleep schedule, a nice long nap in the morning and afternoon, to bed by 8pm...  of course that can all change if we have to go somewhere or do something, and I certainly do not go home just so she can sleep, like I did with Emma!!!
Ok, that's a good start:)\po;o

My dad came out a week ago and took some head shots for me.  The girls were up and got in the mix....  sure do love them more than I could have ever imagined!
