Pudding

Young World is still good for little Livi.  Naps are still elusive in room 3 but at least she isn’t miserable there.  The whole family is still suffering with the remnants of the most recent cold.  This cough just won’t seem to go away!

We have started giving Olivia a plate and fork for to use for her dinners.  No more bowl and hands.  It is time to take that step.  She is doing quite well actually, and can get most food on the fork with out much trouble.  Her hotdog phase is over, hates them now, but is starting to like turkey cubes.  Still continues to love her broccoli!  Not a whole lot of new words happening, but she can sort of say broccoli, up, down, and finally Mommie!!!  She is also getting good at sort of communicating what she wants and doesn’t want with shaking or nodding her head.  She still gets frustrated if we don’t figure it out fast enough, but she will stand by her toy box and say “psssss  psssss psssss” (please) and I will lift a toy and she will shaker her head, will lift another, shake again, lift what she wants and she nods and smiles.  She also loves cooking things in her play kitchen.  She stirs stuff up in the cups and brings it to us or the dogs to taste.

Last night I had to finally install child locks on our entertainment center so I could put the DVDs back in their drawer.  I had to move them to the office because she finally discovered the cabinets and drawer.  She tried opening it today, but no such luck and I was surprised she gave up so quickly.

Olivia’s latest love is vanilla pudding.  She loves it, especially when she can serve herself.
