Three months.... only THREE months until these girls are two!! How in the world does this happen so quickly? It seems like month after month I have the same thoughts about these girls growing up so quickly. Of course having two older daughters doesn't help matters. I started thinking about the second birthday party the other day... something that I almost immediately shut down in my head because its SO HARD!! I guess reality is sometimes hard to come to terms with but none the less here we are at 21 months...
Olivia ~ So much spunk in such a little person...She has such a fun personality always giggling, running, playing, and just being plain silly. She is the most ticklish little girl - it doesn't matter where you try and tickle her she will go into a full on belly laugh. Still very much a daddy's girl this little one loves her uncle RyRy (Ryan), giving him all the snuggles when he's around. She's become very adventurous when it comes to swimming, climbing on furniture, and just general play. She loves to "bounce" on her bed, on the couch, on mommy and daddy's bed and anything else that is conducive to bouncing. She does have a bit of a temper arching her back and balling her fist when she doesn't get something she wants... oh this girl knows how to throw a fit. She gets over it pretty quickly if we just ignore her and help her move on to something new. She has a huge love for babies - she is all about the babies, she loves to hold them, feed them, swaddle them in dish towels, even take them to the potty with her. I know I say the same thing every month but she still likes to observe what is happening but is now more apt to get involved and do what her sister is doing. Most times her getting involved is to take something (a baby) Charlotte has for herself. She is a lover of Mickey Mouse (really Minnie) she hands me the remote most mornings saying Minnie Minnie. She also loves to watch her preschool prep DVDs - shapes and colors - I can turn these DVDs on and they will sit and watch so that I can get a few minutes to prep dinner or make lunch! She has become quite the picky eater many of the past favorites are no longer appealing to her (or Charlotte for that matter)... someday its all I can do to get them to eat breakfast and lunch is often a mixture of snacking on fruit, crackers, and/or cheese. Dinner is usually the best meal of the day for both girls so I guess we have that going for us.
This little one with her blond hair and blue eyes knows exactly how to get what she wants and win over just about anyone's heart especially her mommy and daddy. We love you Livy Grace!
Charlotte ~ Crazy, silly, energetic, and full of life are just a few ways we describe this little one. She is always making us laugh at every turn. She repeats almost every word we say in her little
This little one wins us over with her big smile and warm heart... we love you Charlotte!
Everyday my heart seems to grow watching these two girls become more and more like toddlers. They successfully completed potty training boot camp (aka the 3 day method) {read about it here} and are doing very well with using the potty. I often catch myself looking at them wondering how did we ever get so lucky. They bring so many smiles and much laughter to us every single day. We love you little ones!
