We went to the park....

It was windy

but wonderful

At 11 Months...

Olivia loves to

Walk,walk, walk

(And she is super speedy too)

Make dolphin noises

(I think it's a new laugh but it is so funny)

Play outside and go to the park

Stick her tounge out

Share! 

(This one took awhile but if we ask for something she is holding she will usually share it with us)

Run away from diaper changes

Be naked

(After showers if we didn't put clothes on her she would stay that way)

Throw tantrums

(Starting to see the toddler in her)

Cuddle with blankets and stuff animals

Give the sweetest, daintiest waves

Say mama and dada

(Still saying dada more)

Use her top left tooth

(the right one hasn't popped through yet

she looks a little silly)

read touch and feel books

visit mom at work

she was done with pictures :)

 I know we say this over and over

but you have been such

a blessing in our lives.

We love being a family of 3

(soon 4)

you bring such happiness, joy, and 

love into our lives.

It has been incredible to be your mom

and feel a love that is so

unconditional. I am so

grateful that your are mine

forever.

At 10 Months...

Olivia loves to

Try and walk

(Still a little nervous)

Be active ALL the time

Turn the pages of books

Be with her mom and dad

(There are some tears when we leave)

Take off hats, gloves, socks etc.

take showers

(We recently learned that baths cause some drama)

help take clothes out of the dryer

be tickled, especially on her neck

use everyones phone

(the play ones just aren't the same)

and be happy

She really is the happiest girl. 

Pictures were a little

hard this month

she did not want to stay still

Olivia, thank you for being such

a wonderful presence 

in our home. 

We have been tremendously blessed

to be your parents. We have loved

this adventure of parenthood.
