Half Way To A Year

Six Months already? Where has time gone? Well I now know how fast they really do grow. Six months sounded so far away when she was born and now here it is. She has changed so much in the last six months and I have loved watching her learn new things and to see her personality come out. This post has a lot of pictures but I love taking them of her and who couldn't resist those beautiful brown eyes. These are a few pictures I've taken over the last month.


I'll start my story out on Wednesday night at about 11:30, Olivia wakes up screaming like something is wrong. She wont stop crying and so I pick her up finally and hold her but she still continues to cry. 3:30 rolls around and she finally falls asleep and I'm exhausted(I'm truly someone that needs her sleep). 7:30 comes pretty fast and she wakes up crying which never happens and so I think of course she has to be sick. Thank goodness she had her six month checkup and so off we go the whole time I'm thinking she has to have a ear ache. The doctor checks her ears and can't see in one of them so he proceeds to clean it out and then all of a sudden she starts screaming and he tells me oh I'm sorry I just scratched her ear canal. So now she is already upset then they give her four shots and take her temperature where it doesn't feel good. She was so upset! Well the verdict was she had no ear ache, I couldn't believe it! Why then was she crying all night? His reply was she simply doesn't feel good and is getting sick. I was more than happy that she didn't have an ear ache but was hopping there was a reason for her being so upset.
So the day only got better from there
If she wasn't doing this


Then she was doing this
The second she woke up it was this again
She literally cried all day with the saddest cry ever.
Finally though at the end of the night we got one of these
Olivia can now sit up pretty well, she still needs a little help

She will only sleep with her head in the corner of her cribOlivia does her daily crunhces. She is so funny since she was probably three months she started pulling her head and legs up like thisOlivia is one of the only babies that I know that spits up all day. She either has spit up or drool on her face and clothes. That's why she either has a bib on or her shirt is drenched.

Olivia weighed in at 14.2 lbs. 15%

Measured at 26 in. 55%

Head circumference 15.75 3%

She is growing nicely, still a little thing especially compared to her handsome boyfriend Trae :)
