Chatter Box

I want to remember everything that comes out of Olivia's mouth. She is soooooo funny! She's speaking in short sentences now (3-4 words).

<> Yesterday, I tried to pick her up, and she told me, "No. I want Dada!" Made me sad, but I'm glad she can tell us things.

<> When she wants something, she'll now say, "I want juice, please." Good girl! But she's not always so polite...

<> Apparently, we're not allowed to help her ever again. If I even attempt to pick up a spoon, or try to brush her teeth, she yells, "I do it!!!"

<> If there's anything brown anywhere, she says, "Wow. Poop!" There was a raisinette on the floor, and she was convinced it was poop.

<> She's able to tell us what hurts and where, which is so helpful. She tells me, "ow. teeth" and the other day, "ow, tummy, toots." It's so much easier when you can ask them what hurts and they can tell you.

I seriously think she's OCD (my mom says she's just observant). She hates fuzz being on the floor, or a hair on my shirt. Because my hair is layered, I often have a few strands of hair in my face, and Olivia immediately takes her hand and pushes them out of my face, and then usually kisses me. My sweet, helpful girl.

I just want to remember everything she says and does. She's been singing parts of songs on her own, and she laughs at everything. She's just so much fun!!!
