Uns sie läuft und läuft und läuft...

Alles, was sie will, ist laufen. Sie zieht sich am Tisch hoch und läuft außen herum.
Sie liebt es , wenn man sie hält, so dass sie, noch etwas tapsig, selbst an der Hand laufen kann.
Außerdem hat sie ein neues Spiel entdeckt. Sie krabbelt wie eine Verrrückte und lacht, wenn man versucht, hinter ihr herzurennen und sie zu fangen.
Treppe hochlaufen ist auch kein großes Problem mehr. Natürlich ist einer von uns hinter ihr, für den Fall der Fälle.
Olivia mag es in letzter Zeit auch, mit einem ihrer zahlreichen Schmusetiere zu schmusen. Das hilft auch gut beim Einschlafen.
Wir warten allerdings immer noch auf die ersten Zähne.
Egal, sie isst trotzdem alles. Zum Beispiel beißt sie kleine Stücke eines Apfelschnitzes ab, um sie zu essen. Kein Problem!
Sie ist Brot, Toast, Eis, Sahne, Äpfel, Erdbeeren, eigentlich alles, was wir auch essen. Wenn sie es nicht bekommt, bekommen wir Ärger.

Still no teeth...

Hmmm... I am still waiting for those two first teeth. I can see the little white marks in her mouth, but I am still waiting. In the mean time she has decided to sleep through the night with only a bit of complaining for a few minutes.

In addition, she is now a professional stair climber... unfortunately she is still not going backwards down. But, it should come soon since she has figured out how to bend her knees to get back to the floor from a standing position.

Oh... and she is now wanting to feed herself a bit which for us creates a food challenge (to get it actually in her mouth). But, we have made a deal. She is fed by me or her dad until it is almost gone and then she gets something from us (bread with butter) or she can "play" a bit with the rest of her food. She already eats a lot of what we eat and some times I can skip the baby food jar. I think it will be easy to get her to learn how to eat once she turns 1 since she already has an interest in it.

Time to go; the post is here with a new baby package (TOYS!!!).

She can walk!

To Fred’s dismay... Someone can walk! But, he takes it really well and only decides to leave after he has had enough.

It is really amazing, in only a short time practicing, Olivia can already walk using furniture or someone’s hand. She even only needs one hand sometimes. In addition, crawling has now set in stronger which also includes crawling up the stairs. I am working on training her how to go backwards down already. I thought this would come some time this fall, but well she is determined.

Other then walking, her other favourite thing is a book. She loves to open and close it or... bite it. She is finally getting her two first teeth... so anything that makes her feel good chewing is worth it to take a break from walking for. Oh... by the way... it seems that my monitor is also tasty... ohh.... got it back... arrrrgg.... there it goes again... ok... now... laptops belong on laps...

She falls a lot currently because she still needs to learn how to bend the knees to get down to the floor again, but for me this has a small advantage. It makes sure that she stays in one area for awhile. She only falls if she is tired and I can always tell now. Some times she screams at me to help her, but I have now stopped coming to the rescue so that she will learn. I just tell that she got up there, she can get down. And I try to show her... she just stares at me. Somehow; however, I think she partially gets it because some times she does what she should do when the environment is relatively risk free for her. She seems to know the difference between the cork floor with a bit of carpet and a stone floor with nothing to protect her.

Well, time to go...
