Ducks And The Exorcist

Going back to our day on the farm, after we left the farm we went over to PC and spent some time at the duck pond.  We brought along bread so we could feed the ducks.  Olivia seemed to like the ducks, but there was a mean white one with teeth that didn’t like Livi too much.  He kept honking and opening up his mouth at her and giving her the wing flap.

 

 

 

 

 

Olivia has been fighting a cold again.  I can’t complain, she went through a pretty good stretch of being healthy.  Last night while she was having her final bottle before bed, she projectiled everything back out, and that included the grapes from lunch, the raviolis from dinner, and the milk from 1 second ago.  It was a mess.  Olivia had a second bath as did Mommy, and the cleanup took quite a while as well.  Poor Livi!!

Talk Talk Talkin’

So next time I question whether Olivia really knows how to say words, I will sit her down in front of a video of me asking her to say words. She doesn't seem to want to perform when we want her to, but I had her on my lap while watching a video of me trying to get her to talk and she repeated every word. I was also editing another video while Olivia was standing near by and very quietly on the video someone said kitty cat, Olivia started saying her version of kitty cat. It kind of shocked me because now I realize she hears more than I give her credit for. It also worries me a bit!!

Nothing to do with this story, but look at the way she has been sleeping recently. She loves crossing her legs like this while asleep.

Baby Stroller

Brooke got Livi a little stroller so she could push her baby doll around.  She seems to like it and got the hang of it pretty quick.  Unfortunately I was having camera troubles and didn't get a lot of video, but here is a sample of her enjoying pushing her baby.

Who's Your Daddy?

Along with looking at pictures and videos of herself, Olivia likes looking at picture of Mommy and Daddy too. She usually dances around and laughs when she sees them, but was a little more mild mannered here.  At least I know she knows me from pictures as well as in person. My little girl!!

Old McDonald

Today we took Olivia to her first Farm. It was a very small farm located on Thornwell's campus (a local home for Children.) The farm is used to teach agriculture to the kids of Thornwell as well as the kids of the local school district. We saw goats, donkeys, pigs, bunnies, roosters and sheep. Olivia at first didn't seem as interested in the animals as we thought she would be, and was definitely scared of the pigs. She even ran to us to pick her up when they headed towards her. But after watching the animals for a while, she started paying attention and finally showing interest. I think her favorite was the goat who ate at the fence in front of her. More than anything, she just liked being outside and able to run run run!! And guess what, those camo-overalls came in quite handy!!

She wasn't sure what to think about the pigs

Olivia liked picking the flowers

Olivia loved watching the goats

She got a little more comfortable with the pigs as time went by

In The Wild (With Animals)

More of Olivia outside, but with some animals thrown in as well.

In The Wild

Yesterday I came home from work and Olivia and Brooke were in the front yard playing.  The weather is getting nicer and we hope to finally get Olivia outside more.  Here is some video of Livi outside (her favorite place to be.)
