Olivia at 15 months

Just for posterity sake, I thought I would post a list of things Olivia does at 15 months. She is growing so big and we are amazed that she is starting to do "little adult" things.

At 15 months, Olivia...

...says "mama" and "dada" and clearly associates them with Mom and Dad.
...runs (and runs fast!) when she is excited. In fact, she has very little fear.
...climbs on just about anything.
...says lots of words that start with B..."buh" for dog (?), ball, bow, bye...
...loves to sit in her rocking chair.
...says "uh-oh" over and over again.
...points to her bellybutton, her nose, her ears, her eyes, her mouth, her hands and her feet.
...smiles on command (with a completely goofy smile).
...has 6 teeth - 4 on top and 2 on the bottom. They came in late (13 months) but they are big!
...loves to drink from a "real" cup.
...goes to bed around 7:30-8:00 every night and gets up around 7:00 am.
...gives hugs and kisses.
...likes to hug other kids.
...says "bay-bayh" when we point to her baby pictures.
...loves shoes and socks. She loves to put hers on loves to bring ours to us and to help us put ours on.
...loves computers, cell phones and any other gadgets. She'll be able to fully operate the cell phone any day now!
...knows what to do when Dad says, "Knuckle me!" (makes a fist and bumps fists with Dad)

Happy Birthday Olivia!

Videos of walking and kisses

These are videos of Olivia at 10 months - 3 weeks. She started walking during Christmas and blowing kisses too... have fun watching.

Fun evening with O

For some reason Olivia was extra fun tonight. She was making noises and laughing at everything. We had a friend over (Carol Ann) and she was sitting across the table from her eating dinner. There was a pitcher of water between them and Olivia kept stretching from her high chair and peeking around the pitcher of water at Carol Ann. And she laughed and laughed.

The first two pictures were before the evening bath and the others are her playing on her changing table after the bath. The pictures are worth a 1000 words. She is SO happy. And so much fun. She is the best little girl.

Olivia turned 9 months on Nov. 9th. She has been such a blessing. I keep telling Shelly that I wish we would of done this years ago. It is so much fun and incredible. It is truly beyond explanation. I could never put it into words for some one else to understand. Having children is truly a true blessing from God.
