Olivia-isms

I thought I would share a few things that Olivia is doing now in her 16th month:

Olivia has decided that she loves cherry tomatoes out of our garden (see pic below). The first few times she just spit them out.

Olivia likes to say, "ga-ta-ga-ta-ga", which means, "I want that! Give that to me!" (We do make her say please, usually.)

Olivia also says, "Peek-a!", as in, "peek-a-boo"

Olivia like to "help" me fold sheets. When I say help, I mean she likes it when I throw the sheet up in the air and it falls on her and covers her up. This is often when she says "Peek-a!" One day last week Bunny ended up playing with us. We both laughed so hard!

Olivia likes to "help" me sweep with my cool battery powered Swiffer Sweeper (see pic below).

Olivia LOVES going outside. She also loves that she can take Daddy her shoes and sometimes "talk" him into taking her outside.

Olivia loves to climb into the laundry basket, but often has to get Mommy or Daddy to lift her out. The other day she had her stacking/nesting cups in the laundry basket with her, just like it was the most natural thing in the world to play with her toys while sitting on top of a load of laundry!

Olivia LOVES drinking ouy of Mommy's cup with a straw. Yesterday I had her cup and my cup side by side - can you guess which one she made a beeline for? She also loves drinking out of Daddy's sports bottle.

Olivia loves it when I sing "Little Bunny Foo Foo, hoping through the living room, sneaking up to Livi and bopping her on the head!" I take Bunny and bop Olivia on the head. She laughs and squeals!

When we go for a walk around the neighborhood, Olivia often stops in front of the houses of people we know. Sometimes she'll even run up their sidewalk and bang on the door! We've had a few impromptu visits because I couldn't catch her soon enough!

Olivia has been trying to feed herself with her spoon in her left hand, even though she has better control with her right hand. She'll get frustrated because not much ends up in her mouth, and then dive in with her right hand and grab the food! Learning to feed yourself is messy business. *sigh*
