A Year and a Half!

I can hardly believe it - but Olive is a Year and a Half old (18 months) today!! Crazy that 2 is only 6 months away! We have her dr appt tomorrow so I will update her physical stats then, but she is so busy and smart!

She is babbling all the time, and she says things with meaning and purpose, but unfortunately Mom and Dad can't always figure out what she is saying. She is fabulous at repeating words and knows so much, she often floors her Dad with the things she knows. Right now she likes to count, but will only say "Two", but keep pointing to the things you are counting. She is recognizing letters and B is by far her favorite. She likes to say - "buh, buh, buh, baby". She even pointed to her milk the other day and said "muh, muh, muh, milk". She is a genius! She still uses most of her signs and is a very polite girl saying "thank you" (in sign language) whenever you give her something. Sometimes she will keep doing it until you say "You're Welcome".

She loves to dance and cuddle her stuffed animals. She also still loves her Little People and moves the zoo animals around the house all day long. She is a full out daddy's girl on the weekends, when she gets to be with him all day. She clings to him, its pretty cute! But she loves to cuddle Mommy too - and has become quite a good hugger! She love love loves her Nana & Papa, and Grandma, and loves to talk to them on the phone or via video chat.

She is getting to be such a big girl! Wow! We Love you so much Olive!


Happy 1/2 Birthday Baby!


Really Mom! Can't you see I am busy with the ipod.


Dancing at music class today!


Our big girl!

Silly Daddy!

Of course this is what happens when Daddy plays with balls! Silly Daddy!


Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! Olive pretty much had a Valentine's weekend. She got 2 packages on Friday - one from Nana & Papa and one from Grandma Robertson - what a lucky girl! N&P got her a Llama Llama book and Llama himself!! Gma got her a book and a beautiful dress that we are excited for her to wear this week!
Today she got some more Little People and a bear from Mommy and Daddy! Happy Valentine's Day Sweetheart!

Hi Llama Llama Red Pajama! She loves it!

Do you think I need a haircut?

Ummm yeah probably! Olive's hair is getting pretty long, but I am so torn on cutting it yet - its still growing in layers and I really don't want to mess with her bang line... I guess I will just keep fighting with her to keep clips in her hair and keep trying to put ponytails in (a major feat!).






Ahh there she is!

Video Chatting with Nana & Papa

via the Playstation 3 is pretty easy and super fun! Olive was really into it this time, trying to give them hugs and kisses through the TV. She even knew to look into the camera. It was pretty cute! We are trying to do this on a regular basis. Its fun for Olive to be able to see them more often, since we can't get to Vancouver every weekend. I see many more video chats with Nana & Papa in the future!



Kisses for Nana
