11 Months Old!

Two days ago, Olivia turned 11 months old! It is so hard to believe that she will soon be 1 year old. She brings our lives so much joy; God truly blessed us by bringing her into our family.
Happy 11-month birthday, Olivia!! We love you so very much!

Our 11-Month Old Clapper
A day before turning 11 months old, Olivia learned how to clap. Daddy said she clapped with him a little bit that Saturday morning, but when Grandma & Grandpa Smith were watching her later that afternoon, they witnessed her joy with her new found accomplishment. Grandma said she was singing "Did You Ever Go Fishing" with Olivia's hands on hers, and when she stopped singing, Olivia continued clapping on her own. She said Olivia had the biggest two-toothed smile as she clapped her hands in delight (and apparently, she clapped for quite some time for her audience)!
