Big 16 months old!!

I say this because I think that Olivia really does feel like she is a Big girl!! She wants to do everything that we do and will not have it any other way!! Her personality has definitly blossomed in the last few months. With that has come many tantrums and testing of our limits. (Ex. as I am typing this blog, she is looking at me as she is toughing the Christmas tree to see what I will do. Oh the joys of a 1 year old) I will have to say though, that when she is in a happy mood, I absolutely love this age!! She can be so sweet and soo loving. She is a big kiss giver and kiss blower! She will blow a kiss to anyone that she sees :) I love it when she runs to me to give her a hug and likes to play with her toys with me, and roll around on the floor and play chase with daddy. It really is such a sweet age.

As of right now, she can say several words like, Momie(mom), dada, momo (elmo), shush (shoes), tree, no, eat, choo choo (train), duck, and a few others that I just can't think of right now. She can repeat many different words when we say them to her but she doesn't repeat them yet over and over. She can point to her nose, ears, sticks out her tongue on que, feet, shoes, hair, hairbow, teeth, and belly button. :) She is doing please, more, and all done in sign language. Her favorite way to eat any kind of food is by dipping it in anything and loves to have her own big girl cup with a straw, which usually ends up making for a really big mess! She loves wearing her sunglasses all day long, loves to put on her Elmo slippers, and could be outside all day long.

War Eagle!!

Our favorite Elmo slippers! (and of course my cell phone)

She loves to help me vacuum the carpet. She likes to hold it all by herself. On a side note, the paci is our newest toy. She stopped taking one when she was about 3 months old but a few weeks ago she found them in her old diaper bag. She loves to walk around the house with it and loves it in the car. She still uses her lovey to go to sleep though. I would take it away but she just looks so cute :) and I figure that she will probably want one again in a few months when Anna Kayt gets here :)
