One of our all time favorite pictures of Olivia, just having the time of her life.
She was just learning how to stand holding on to things around the house, and very excited about it!
There's a bit of an obsession with paper product - paper towel, toilet paper, books, you name it - she's eating it. Somehow she has this sixth sense of when the bathroom door is open, and if it is, she is at the toilet paper roll.
Olivia loves books. Some of her favorites are Goldie Locks has Chicken Pox, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Alice the Fairy, Strega Nona, and a mini book set of fairy tales.
She really likes to be close to Mommy, especially during dinner preparation, so out of desperation, I let Livvy "help" me when I make dinner by putting her in the sink and letting her play. She usually ends up pretty wet, but hey, it buys me some time.
Just a very cute picture.
We put up all the Christmas card pictures we got on the fridge. Livvy loves to look at them. She'll point to each person and we'll say the name and she'll try to repeat it using just the first consanant. She loves doing it. When she's sad we'll take her to the fridge or other pictures around the house and she'll get a big smile on her face and start pointing to the faces. She's so funny.
Did she get any in her mouth? That is the question. She has just acquired a new habit of wiping her hands off in her hair. Unfortunate.
There's some Livvy personality.
Our food storage is downstairs and there's no door on it, so Livvy loves to get the cans off the shelf and haul them one by one up the stairs.
Like probably every child, she loves to be outside doing anything. It will be nice one day to have a fenced in yard so I can just let her roam street free!
She loves her monkey pajamas and does a pretty good imitation of a monkey sound.
Had to include the carrot that was more than half her length. Wow - now that's a carrot!
New obsession of trying on clothes and shoes. When she puts our things on, no problem. Her clothes and shoes are a little trickier, and usually ends in frustration.
Just enough left over to rub my hands all over in it and then lick them off. Mmmm...ice cream.
Okay this is so Livvy. She has this sly smile that makes you really wonder what is going on inside that little head.
Rocks, rocks, rocks. She loves to find and carry them everywhere. We're at a ward camp out here and she had a great time.
I run, well at the moment I'm quite large with child, so now I walk, around the track in the Smith Fieldhouse on campus. At the end I let Livvy out of the stroller and she goes wild. She loves to run around the track and the gym and always goes to the cougar on the floor and roars like a cougar.
Cute little munchkin.
Classic Livvy meltdown face.
Lately I've been cutting up apples into little pieces and putting them in a cup for snack. She always goes to this same place on the floor to eat them, it's hilarious. I call it her snack spot now.
This is what Livvy does when I'm in the shower. We have a great selection of bathroom reading magazines and her favorite is a Parenting magazine. She goes through each page and will do it for up to 10 minutes - it's pretty funny.
She has been saying a lot more words lately and so when I'm making something, she goes to the chair and starts pulling it over to the counter and says, "Watch, watch." She wants to watch what I'm doing, which means she usually ends up looking like this:)
Already to go to school with Daddy.
