8 months, Hawaii, Birthdays & Thanksgiving

Oly is now crawling, pulling herself up and sitting up from a lying down position. It's like she finally figured out how to move and this girl is now a busy one. She has quite the personality and has become very talkative. She loves to play with her sisters toys and the dog toys. Keeping the 8 month sticker straight was not happening in the pictures below. 

We went to Kona for a little R&R and definitely enjoyed ourselves. We swam, swam and swam some more. 

These two!! She loves her daddy

It was fun to be in Hawaii, but we were excited to get back to the snow. I think the picture below explains out excitement.

Then, it was time for Nik's birthday, Thanksgiving and Kins's birthday party. Oh boy! What a month!

7 months and so much more

I meant to post the 7 month pictures before we left for Hawaii. But, it just didn't happen. Oly is getting very talkative. She rolls just about anywhere she wants to go and she pushes herself backwards, mostly because she can't go forward yet. She is doing the downward dog pose and rocking herself back and forth. So, she is very close to crawling. She has her 2 bottom front teeth and she finally is interested in eating real food.

We had a very busy month again. Lots of fall fun was in the works. Trick-or-treating, pumpkin walk, UNR football games, museum trips, lantern fest and hikes. Love the fall and am enjoying every minute with my wonderful family!

These two crazy guys!

Lantern Fest

It was fun, but windy and kind of scary with flaming lanterns flying by.
