I wanted to document Olivia and all of the things she has learned lately. I figured if you are checking this blog, you would want to see just how smart our little Olivia is too. I forgot to get her to sign all of her words, so I guess that will be a video to look forward to.
I haven't blogged in a while. I really just haven't had any time, but I don't want to begin again so I am hoping to get motivated again with this one. Since I have last blogged Olivia has started her school. We absolutely love it. It is so refreshing to know that I am leaving her in such great hands each day. In the beginning she was a little hesitant about me leaving her each morning, but now she typically just gets down and joins her friends to play. We love her teacher and have been very impressed with the overall quality of everything.
To catch you up to date. Olivia now has 6 teeth, 4 on top and still just 2 on bottom. She gets everywhere she wants and loves to climb. Tonight we bought one of her new carseats. Since we had a great box, we decided to turn it into a little house for her and she LOVED it. Instantly, she crawling through the door and out the back window.
She is almost 21 pounds and is 29 inches long, which puts her into the 40 percentile. She is learning to communicate with her words and with sign language. She can sign please, thank you, hungry, more and wash your hands. We are working on water and bath, but they aren't coming as easily. She will also say please when she signs it and it is SO cute, because it comes out like "peas".
Parenthood is still wonderful! Rob and I constantly reflect on how blessed we are and do not want to take for granted one minute of this experience. We hope you enjoy our latest video. The fact that we actually caught all of this at one time is a miracle in and of itself. Usually she will do a couple of the things we ask and then she goes on her way. I guess tonight she felt like being a star.
