Saturday Snow

Livi likes the snow and doesn't seem to mind the cold (in short waves.) She had fun stomping through the snow and ice. She did take a fall on the ice and got a small cut under her left eye. Poor Lee. She is looking forward to resting a bit and then going back out later this afternoon.

Snow Part 2

Just a quick video of Olivia's first steps in "snow."   Tomorrow will be the real snow steps!

Snow!

Finally, we get snow. Olivia did not get to see a lot of snow tonight, but she did get to see a little bit. Tomorrow when she wakes up is when we will have fun. We got a few inches after she went to bed and look forward to making a snowman and some snow angels tomorrow.
Grandpa arrived today and got to spend the evening with Livi. She was shy at first but warmed up after about 20 minutes, then she became her usual crazy self. More to come.

Hello...

Olivia had learned to love the phone. Yesterday Brooke put the phone to Livi's ear while talking to her mom and she loved it. She an entire conversation with Mima (all in Livi-speak mind you) and was a natural at it. After that Olivia called me and we talked a little. She said kitty cat, doggie, hello, uh-oh, laughed and gave some heavy breathing. Later that night Olivia called her Grandma in Florida and talked a little to her as well. Now when you put the phone to her ear her eyes get big and they try to look at the phone to see where the voice is coming from. So if anyone wants to give her a call, feel free.
Olivia has been working on her faces as well. She knows "sad face", "happy face" and we are working on "shocked face." She is also progressing on her animal sounds, monkey, sheep, dog. Now if she could just learn to not dig in the plant in the corner of our living room all would be GOOD!

Saturday Mornings

Livi happy on a Saturday. She is feeling a little under the weather and has a temperature, but seems to have fun either way. She also had another good week at daycare. Not much napping, but also not much crying.

**Google video broken again, but I fixed with a work around, enjoy**

It's Gravy

So I didn't get to witness it, but I guess yesterday after Olivia's nap she decided to play a little in the sun room. The sun room is mostly kid safe, however, the dog food container may need to be removed now. I guess Olivia pulled the top off of it and proceeded to stick as much dog food in her mouth as she could. By the time Brooke noticed this, Olivia was drooling dog food gravy and loving every minute of it. Unlike me who would have grabbed a camera first, Brooke thought of Olivia's well being and scooped the food out of her mouth. Olivia was not too happy with Mommy. She cried and wanted it back, and the dogs just stood in amazement, realizing they now had another creature with whom to compete for food. Hey, you dogs steal Olivia's snacks any time you can, right from her hand even, so turn about is fair play!!

Beanie Baby

We got Olivia a bean bag while shopping the other day. We needed something that she could not stand on and subsequently fall off of, but still be able to sit and relax on. A bean bag was the answer, and so far she loves it. Plus, she can drag it wherever she wants and relax. Sometimes we even catch her laying face down on it taking a quick rest.
