Sitting up!

I can hardly believe that Olivia is 8 months old already. We've been home for three months. It seems like we only arrived yesterday and yet in some ways it seems like we've been home forever. Olivia is doing very well. She is now sitting up and is working on crawling, but not quite there yet. She is getting up on her hands and knees, so it should be soon! She STILL doesn't have any teeth, although I thought FOR SURE they would be in by "tomorrow" which I've been thinking since the day we met her. She is eating well and sleeping well. She smiles much more easily now and even giggles sometimes when we look at her.

Abigail & Emma are still LOVING their baby sister and are eager to do whatever they can to help her. They love to make her smile and giggle now, and it is such a joy for me to watch. I KNEW they would be good with their baby sister, but I am continually amazed at HOW MUCH they love her and how good they are with her.

Here's a picture of them putting barettes in Olivia's hair!

And here's a picture of story time before bed.
