14 Months

Olivia is walking everywhere! One day she just got up, walked through the house, out the door, and down the driveway. And she's off! Norm and I have been scurrying around after Olivia. She seems to get into everything and is oh so curious. She has discovered that she can reach things on the table and pull them down, open cupboards, pull out drawers and empty the contents, open bins, and climb. She loves getting into my hair accessories and comes into the kitchen with her comb in hand and clips in her hair. She's so proud when she finds new things to play with. In fact, one day I was happily greeted by Olivia smiling with toilet paper everywhere. She had pulled one full roll all over the bathroom and hall. She even graciously left one roll for mom and dad to find inside the shower. Too cute!Olivia's newest words and phrases are "sorry, what doing?, that, no-no, the number one, airplane, bird, eye, nose, and fish." She points at things when we ask-her nose, eyes, mouth, birds, dog, car, outside, etc. She is learning her numbers and knows how to begin counting 1-5 on her fingers. Olivia loves her books and enjoys reading.Olivia now has four teeth and a new one coming in. She's all smiles and happily loves brushing her teeth.
