{olivia: 20 months}



Can you believe this little peanut is 20 months already?!  I know that I should have done an 18-month post...but what can I say?  Olivia's lucky she's getting an update before she's 5.  

Here are some things I'd like to remember:

-points to anything that she likes/wants and then immediately points back to herself. 
-says Mama, Dada, Pipper {her favorite puppy}, thank you, uh-oh, and...drum roll please...STOP!  As child number 4, I've decided that it's completely appropriate for her to know the word "stop" early on in her vocab. 
-she went through a phase when she scrunched her nose and gave a funny smile each time we asked her to look at us. {see photo above as proof}
-when she dances, she spreads her legs wide and rocks back and forth {she's got her daddy's moves}
-loves shoes, books, animals, balloons, coloring, pushing things, and drawing on each and every school book that is left unattended.
-entertains herself extremely well throughout the day while tagging along behind me.
-has effectively trapped herself in the bathroom...twice {just like Amelia}.
-jibber-jabbers and squeals on and on and on when she sees something that excites her {like all of the tacky inflatable lawn ornaments at Lowe's}.
-could happily play with her sisters all day...she adores them.
-runs to greet Josh with a huge hug every.single.day when he walks through the door. 
-ridiculously sweet.
-nicknames: Liv, Livi, Livi Lu, Livers, stink pot, sweet baby

Could not love her any more than we do.
