Growing up way to fast!

Olivia is growing up way too fast.  Today she was definitely talking more and saying Dada.  Even though there is no correlation between her saying it and making the connection to daddy, I am thankful she started making some consonant and vowel sounds.  I admit I was getting a little worried.  I was reading an article the other day that talked about gross and fine motor skills in babies.  They say usually babies are dominant in one or the other.  Olivia is definitely more dominant in the gross motor skills- crawling and pulling up etc.  Fine motor skills are her weakness.  She does fairly well picking up things- stacking cups, blocks, teething toys, opening and closing books but when it comes to picking up small things like Cheerios etc. she has a hard time- at least getting them into her mouth.  She is getting better though.  We know it just takes practice.  So this self feeding thing may take awhile.  She has improved with the bottle holding but still needs support.  But time is just flying by and everyday she does something new!
