6 months old!

Hello dearest family and friends!


As we write this Olivia is now 6 months old and 1 week!


So with turning 6 months comes introducing solids. So....the pics we have for you this time are last weeks pics of her first feedings.


To give you an update, all is well. Olivia is the love of our lives and we really don't know what we would do with out her. She really is the happiest baby on the block. Sure she has her ups and downs but overall, her demeanor is quite composed and happy.


On the development front, Olivia is still rolling from back to belly and belly to back. Her newest trick is sticking her bum up. She also decides - on some occasions - to carry on a slight growling noise .... which is very ladylike ;)


As for mom and dad, we are doing well too! We both are still working hard and managing some play time in SB. Emma has been starting to run again and Kevin is still paddle surfing galore - with an occasional cycle here and there.


As for Astro, he is LOVING Olivia's introduction of solids due to the fact that one of Olivia's favorite things to do is get her hand full of food and then wave it to the side for Astro to lick the food off. We know you are thinking "ohhhhhh" "gross!" ... but with Astro it really was inevitable as for those of you who know him can understand that the dog just LOVES food. So all in all.... it is a win, win. Olivia thinks Astro is the neatest thing ever and Astro just loves Olivia even more (due to her food sharing).



Tis all for now!


Until next blog.... we are truly blessed,




Emma, Kevin, Olivia and Astro
