Olive is 8 months now, and crawling. She doesn't have any teeth yet, which is ok with me because I love baby gums so very much. She's eating solid foods and playing games such as "throw-the-object-on-the-floor-and-see-how-many-times-my-mom-hands-it-back-to-me". She does a funny squinchy face to get laughs, she kind of winks, and she loves to wave vigorously. She's very watchful and friendly, and delightfully chubby.
Salome still likes packing her little sis around, and Olive tolerates it. She loves to watch Salome, and Salome being the performer that she is, is delighted to oblige. Her favorite game lately is "Mom, pretend you are my mom and my name is Lily and this is my baby sister Lola." I can handle that game pretty easily. Just gotta remember their names, and talk exaggeratedly, saying things like, "Run along now."
There are a couple straggler photos here from the last batch (the ones of Salome and Delani). Couldn't leave them out though...
We soaked up the rest of the summer and GORGEOUS fall, going to the farmer's market (where Salome got her face painted), visiting the river, and attending a couple more weddings to finish out the season.
Salome's second cousin Savanna got to come from Washington to visit and it was a fantastic girl fest, as you can see from the bathtub picture.
There will be more pictures from this fall in the next installment, and soon some snow pictures it looks like. Here comes winter...
