walkies!

I've got the video camera on ready, as Olivia has started taking some steps on her own.  Before I would walk with her and let go, and she's take a few more steps into daddy's arms, but now she has begun letting go of things and walking on her own! 

So far I've only been able to record her smiling, laughing, waving, and sounding like a pterodactyl. 

Also, I've yet to figure out how to put the videos from the camera onto the computer...

I can feel another tooth coming in, number 5.  I think it's one of the pointy ones (incisor?).  I really sound like I know what I'm talking about today.  So this has made for good sleep until about 4 am, then super restless.  I can live with that.  I could do without the kicks to the bladder, but it could be worse!

We went out and bought some of our gardening supplies today.  I even splurged on nice gloves for me, as I have this image of being able to go out to the garden with Olivia this summer and play in the dirt.  This will be my first attempt at a garden, and I remain hopeful it is as relaxing and enjoyable as I imagine it to be.  In reality it will probably be less relaxing and more me chasing a dirty one year old around the yard.  Will be leaving the video camera available.

sleeeeeeep...

It's lacking.  I've been reading that 9 months is a particularly sleepless time, with new teeth coming through, Olivia nearly walking, and the bellyaches associated with being on antibiotics, there are many potential reasons why she is so restless.  None of which really matter when you're frustrated and overtired!  She just acted so uncomfortable all night. 

In other news, my 9 month old is nearly walking.  Um.  Yikes.
