Almost 9 months!












I cannot believe Olivia is almost 9 months old already! She is getting to be such a big girl! She is sooooo silly - she loves grunting at Mark and when he does it back she finds it especially fun! She is trying very hard to crawl... she is getting really close! Her first tooth finally came in last weekend, and we didn't even know cuz she wasn't acting any different than usual - such a good girl! We also tried a ponytail for the first time! Not too bad and she had quite the mohawk when i took it off! She is just such a joy - the Lord knew we needed her!!
Update on my mom: she had her last scheduled chemo last week and they ended up cutting her dose because her counts have been so low, even with the lower dose her numbers were very low, but praise the Lord she is still doing well! She has scans this week and is meeting with her doctor on Friday to find out the results and see how the chemo worked! Keep praying!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!













Ok so I'm a little slow in posting these...sorry!! In my defense, we didn't have the internet working at all last week! :) Anyways, Olivia was so much fun on her first Christmas!! She liked opening presents all right, although the first initial ripping of the paper made her cry! haha And of course it all just went in her mouth! We had Christmas Eve with my mom's side of the family, and then Christmas Day in Waseca with the Poormans. Olivia thanks everyone for the fun presents...and we do to :)
