Olivia's Fist Steps

Olivia finally decided to take her first steps. She wanted to get a hold of Chamois, our cat. She didn't catch him but she was still excited. Daddy was at work and missed it so we stayed up until he got home so he could see. When Daddy got home she was very tired and didn't want to try but she decided to make the effort and take a couple of steps for him. She's such a stinker. She's still not walking completely and will only take steps when she's in the mood. She's lucky she's cute.

Olivia's New Word

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO !!!!

I think Olivia realized that she is no longer a baby at her birthday party. She has moved into toddlerhood and I don't like it one little bit. The day after her party we heard her saying her new word "NO" and she doesn't just say no she says it with attitude. We went to go play with Leah the other day and Olivia was playing with one of Leah's toys. Olivia didn't want to share. She pushed Leah off of the toy as she repeated "NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!" Oh, the toddler stage is going to be so much fun.

Olivia's First Birthday

Olivia's birthday party was very bittersweet. She is learning so many new things and it's so fun to watch all of her new developments but it breaks me heart that she's growing up so fast. She had lots of fun with the other babies, Noah, Leah, Parker and Ethan. It was so much fun to watch her eat the cake even though she didn't really like it that much. She wanted fruit instead. She really likes all of her presents. I think we need to move to a bigger house so we have room for them all.
