Olivia-10 Months!

Hard to believe we are two months shy of Olivia's 1st birthday! The biggest news we have is that Olivia got her Doc Band off this past week! It was the best day:) They took before and after photos there but I can not upload them to this blog site so I tried the best to take some myself:) It's amazing what a couple months in age can do; this time when we had to take pictures she cried and cried, stranger anxiety at its highest that day! But the difference in her head shape is amazing. Your head is supposed to be a 1/3 longer than it is wide, and hers was not in the beginning, definitely was wider and now it is perfect. It was flat in the back and the mass has moved down and out to make it a perfect round melon:) Amazing what that band and 12 weeks have done. It is awesome without it though, I have come to realize it helped tame her hair a bit though, she has so much on top it just falls in her eyes without being pulled back (or the band to help!). But we are so pleased with the results.

One of Olivia's favorite things to do is walk behind push toys. She has stood about 8 seconds by herself, we're hoping she's walking soon! She babbles all the time saying "mama" the most, which I love! She signs "more" and "all done" which is cute and it works! She has become very attached to this pink blankie and loves our dog Zoey. She crawls after her all the time and smiles and laughs at her....makes me feel a little bad for thinking I would like to get rid of the dog!

In the room waiting to take more after photos of Olivia's head.

They took a mold of her head when we first when there in June.

Put the Doc Band on afterwards (they carved out places on the Doc band where her head was growing) and you can see a glimpse of how it is shaped differently by the spaces.

Tried to get an after photo at home, very hard to get a side shot!

Our other news is that we are expecting baby #3! This was taken at 20 weeks, I am about 23 now and we found out it's going to be a BOY:) Aiden is pumped and can't wait to tackle with him! We are due Feb. 5.
