Olivia at two

  • snacks on goldfish crackers and cereal (eating all the marshmallows before eating the oat pieces)

  • is beginning to crawl a lot and loves to crawl into the kitchen
  • has just started to pull up to her knees

  • sits unassisted, but not consistently yet

  • says "ball" A LOT and "go". Mimics the sounds of lots of other words, but only when she wants to!

  • likes to watch Playhouse Disney, but gets especially excited when watching Go Baby!

  • cries when her daddy leaves the room...or the house...or when we drive in separate cars and Brian walks away to his car

  • thinks Jacob is the coolest kid ever

  • makes the "more sign", but not for food (I guess she thinks she shouldn't have to ask for more food)

  • apparently likes to eat grass

  • loves to look at books

  • loves her baby dolls and stuffed animals

  • squishes your nose to get you to say "honk, honk"

  • isn't standing and stepping much since Easter, but hopefully will be back on her feet soon (and we are soooo happy with her crawling, in the meantime!)

  • pulls on her bangs when she gets sleepy

  • goes to sleep easily almost every night

  • is still a sweaty girl

  • pulls her shirt down when you lift it up (challenging when trying to change a diaper)

  • has a few whispy curls in that dark blond hair

  • throws things off her high chair when she's done with it (or when she's mad)

  • blows kisses

  • laughs when Jacob shakes his booty (and she even dances herself sometimes)

  • loves bubbles

  • takes a bath in her ducky tub (and cringes when she knows you are getting ready to rinse her hair)

  • will draw lines on a paper, but likes even more to just play with the crayons by taking them out/putting them in the box

  • will play peek-a-boo

  • turns her bottle around to the side labeled "Avent" (yes, a little OCD, it seems) (and yes, we still give her a bottle. can't seem to bring ourselves to get rid of the bottles...)

She sounds like such a sweetie and a lot like Haley! That is too funny how similar everything is between us and our kids! Hopefully one day we could all meet.
