Olivia Lately - 15 Months

Olivia is a complete ham-bone these days! She LOVES to stir the pot (as every little sister learns how to do best) and she loves to try and do anything and everything that her big sister, Ellie, is doing :) Here are a few of her current and favorite activities:

• Putting marker caps or chapstick caps on and off (with an occasional taste of the chapstick)

• Drawing (but it doesn't always make it on the paper.... ummmm.... pink chalk on the wall is a nice designer touch, right?)

• She loves to perch or sit on anything that is "just her size" ... small stools, the fireplace hearth, kid chairs, etc. Where she gets into trouble is when I find her dancing on top of the chair!!

• Whenever she sees a magazine cover with food on it, she always says "mmmm-mmmm!" when passing by :)

• She loves to communicate! There are so many words that she is attempting to say and many that she already can say. Some of her words are:

Bird
Buh-Buh (butterfly)
Purple (she said this once so far)
Geen (Green... said this the other day)
Shoes
Chis (cheese)
Hello
Mamma
Dadda
Ay-ya (Ellie)
Apple
Cu-Cake (cupcake)
Hat
k-k (phoenetically said) for kitty kat
bu-bu (bunny)
Ball
Animal Noises (dog, duck, horse,bunny)
Bubble
Up
Maw (more)
Cookie

• She makes a raspberry noise with her mouth whenever she sees a horse. 

• She sniffs in and out whenever she sees a flower

• Princesses and Fairies are all "dadada", as whenever we see these characters, I sing "da-da-da" to the tune of "Be Our Guest". Olivia usually says this with an accommodating twirl, which she loves doing now! She will twirl and twirl and until she falls over :)
