Chew Chew Chew

The teeth are growing. And last night she tried to chew on our new coffee table. I guess we are in for a long time of closely watching Olivia and what she is chewing.
We decided it was time to get her to start holding her own bottle. Yes it is well overdue but for a while there we were more concerned that she actually ate something as opposed to how she ate it. She has actually been doing very well. Brooke has been working with her in the day and she has picked it up pretty fast. Still not perfection, but she is now able to pull it out of her mouth and get it back in when needed, we just need to lift her arms when the bottle starts getting empty. She still won't just do it on her own while sitting, she only does it on our laps, but she will get there.
She has started doing very wet "motorboat" sounds with her lips now and spits everywhere. She loves the sound and probably the way it feels, however we must now wear raincoats inside when she is awake because she sprays like a fountain.
She is still loving her runs and gets to go on them most nights. She will usually just lounge in the stroller or chew on her stuffed mouse (not the brown kind!!)
Oh, and the dogs have adapted quite well to not being allowed on the furniture. We hope we can keep that up.

The "mouse" comment was pretty funny!

Mouse comment---how many know what it means?!
She is so cute--blame Lulu for her learning how to chew on the cord. Or was it Chili??

When I read it I was wondering if anyone was going to say anything about the mouse - so glad you all did. Yes, G told us what a mouse was! So funny.
