Growing pains...

We are having some growing pains.  Olivia, after nearly 16 nearly toothless months (she has only three!), decided to sprout some serious teeth action.  We are talking a mouth full of budding whites.  This may explain the mood swings, the mid night cries, the random feedings, the anorexia bouts... or it may not.  We are taking it a day at a time, living in anticipation of her next tantrum.

In between however, she is cuter than ever.

I have been slow in posting updates about my baby because I have been sick in anticipation of her biggest milestone yet- walking!  She has been so on time with the rest of her milestones that this elusive me kept me up at night.  She happily crawled everywhere. Moseyed along when holding on to couch edges, benches, our hands... but never on her own.  Even though I know she knows that she can do it!  I tell myself it's good we have a cautious baby on our hands but deep down the sight of other wobbling toddlers make me pine for the sight of my little baby wobbling about as well.

Then finally 6/13/2016, two days past her 16 months birthday, she took two steps towards her daddy.  Two small steps for Olivia, two giant steps for her parents.
