19 Months

Olivia is a ball full of energy! I've found that I'm coming home exhausted with not much time to spare. I'm going to do my best to catch you up...Olivia is a chatterbox with sooo much to say. Her vocabulary is amazing and she has started to respond to questions with an almost complete sentence. For example, if asked "Do you have it?" She'll respond "I got it." She also responds to what she likes by saying "I like berry." One of the things that melt my heart, Olivia is now coming up to mommy and daddy and hugging us and saying "mommy/daddy I love you"! Some of her favorite vocabulary words that she'll say with excitement are airplane, fire truck, mailman, bird, cat, dog, swimming, potty, etc.Olivia is starting to learn her numbers but doesn't make it past 4, although she will randomly say seven. I am also trying to work with her on learning her ABC's and teaching her colors. Olivia is successfully pooping on the potty. She will sign poo poo and then run to the bathroom. Olivia does not understand pee pee quite yet but we are excited that she's making positive efforts.Olivia's classes ended and we haven't signed up for anymore. Ideally, we will be taking swimming and music classes soon. Olivia still loves playing with all her playgroup friends but has had to miss a few days due to mommy's car problems. I'm not sure how much Olivia weighs for certain. We have a doctor visit scheduled next week with shots. I can tell you that she's growing like a weed and seems to be one of the taller little girls in her playgroup. I think she should enjoy being tall now because like mommy and daddy, the tallness didn't last.
