Sun Glasses at Night

Brooke bought Olivia some sunglasses at the store the other day.  She seems to like them and makes funny head movements when wearing them.  She comes up to us and says “glasses on, glasses on”  but then will take them off and play with them.  She sure does look cute in them when she does have them on though.  We still have yet to take her outside with them.  Soon!!

Her Otter

Olivia has a rediscovered love of the stuffed otter that Grandma and Grandpa got her a while back.  She asks for it by name now.  Loves it.  It still has not replaced her “money” (bunny) but it is close.

Play Guitar

Olivia is not really ready for her real guitars yet, but loves her new toy guitar.  She still doesn’t know how to hold it but dances to the music it makes.
Ever since we have gotten our sliding glass door fixed so that it now opens and closes easily, Olivia has been opening and closing it herself.  We try to stop her but she can be pretty sneaky.  I have to now figure a way to lock it open.  I have a few ideas.  The other problem with her opening it herself is that she can get her fingers caught between the two doors when opening it.  The other day she was standing there and saying “fingers, fingers, fingers”  I looked over and her fingers were stuck between the doors.  Had to help her pull them out.  She still didn’t learn her lesson.

Halloween Costume Runner Up

When Brooke was 2 years old she was the Cookie Monster for Halloween.  Then when her sister was 2, she wore the same Cookie Monster costume as well.  Now that Livi is two, the costume still exists, though it is old.  We already got her a costume for this Halloween but since Marcia brought Cookie Monster over this weekend for us, we just had to put it on Livi and see how it looked.  She was a little hesitant to have it on at first but liked it once it was on, that is until we tried to put the head on.  You can see the happiness that is there when she is the little blue blob, but notice the pout when she is wearing the head. 

It is a hard choice not to have her wear this for Halloween, but I really like the costume we got her as well.  We will just have to see what happens on Halloween!

 

Sauce Please

Sometimes when we are out late, we need to get Olivia something to eat fast because it is a pain to have her wait for us to make something when we get home when she is starving.  On this day Brooke picked up a Happy Meal for Livi on her way home.  Livi loves fries, and kind of likes chicken, however, once she tried the sweet and sour sauce, she was all about it!!  I think we found her new favorite thing.

Tutu Princess

Livi likes playing dress-up.  She likes wearing her pink tutu and now likes wearing her necklaces.  Don’t know why she needs to have her shirt off for it, but she loves it.

  

Also, we finally got Olivia a shopping cart.  Brooke has been talking about it for a while.  Livi loves her stroller, and figured she would like to push something around that could hold more stuff.  We went to Toys-R-Us last weekend and found this for her, and bought some food to put in it as well.  We had the gender-neutral red cart in our hands, but it had been opened and probably returned, so we chose the pink one.  I am glad we did because I think she is cute with it.

Randomness

Just some random pictures of Livi.  We took these the other day and just thought they turned out cute..  She is not normally this photogenic.

 

Oh, and you can see that Aunti Steph’s influence is still staying strong ;-)
