This and that of the week.

I don't have too many photos lately, but should be writing about everything Olivia is up to. She is busy as ever, and talks non-stop. Whether it be repeating everything she hears, asking "what's this" or "why?" to everything, or tattling on her dolls, she is ALWAYS talking! It is just amazing the stuff she comes up with and learns and I hope to remember these moments forever. Here are some favorites for the week:
-Pat brings his backpack to work everyday and whenever she asks him where he's going and why-she responds, "To make the money?" So, the other day, Olivia put on her little back pack and went to the back door as if to leave. I asked her where she was going and she said "I'm going to da office. To make da money."
-She's also gotten a pen out and started drawing and told Pat that she was doing her homework.
-Olivia loves Sesame Street, and has fun mimicking The Count. The other morning I heard her in her crib talking to her dolls, saying "1 Ha Ha Ha, 2 Ha Ha Ha" and then she went on to say her dinner prayers to the dolls. "In the name of the fader, and da son, and da howy spirdit, amen"
I don't go a moment without smiling when I think of Olivia. She is such an amazing little girl and we are having so much fun in these learning stages and look forward to everyday as I ask myself "What will she think of and/or say next"

We got an American Girl doll catalogue in the mail the other day. Olivia loves looking at it-I'm so glad she is too young to understand the importance of having her very own!

Olivia and I watching Jib Jab videos on the computer yesterday-we put our faces into quite a few different Christmas ones and watched them over, and over, and over. And then woke up today, and did the same thing.
