The little thrill seeker!

Olivia has REALLY begun to climb this week. She's also figured out that she can move things (chairs, her ride on toy, buckets, whatever) to help her climb or reach things she couldn't previously reach. I've saved her from diving off of the sofa onto her head twice this week. The fun continues. :) One other new thing... people in my family will really appreciate this... I was walking down the stairs with her, in front of her, holding both hands and letting her walk. She figured out how to go down on her butt!

As the bottle turns...

Ok, so the most dramatic thing here is the title. Olivia is continuing to prosper and grow and learn. It's absolutely amazing at how quickly she picks up on things, which explains why she can repeat the word "crap". We're trying to teach her well, but when she starts falling from the top of the cat house and we try to catch her while spouting expletives (even relatively tame ones like "crap"), she picks these things up pretty easily. During her bath tonight I was holding on to her while we waited for the tub to fill and she started to grab at the shower rod. Figuring on a cute moment, I let her grab the rod and I mimicked her doing a pull-up on it. She followed that up with 3 of her own, the brute. :-) Speaking of cute moments, one of my favorites happens when we all come downstairs in the morning and our cats plead their case for food, Olivia responds in kind by meowing back at them. When they get pushy, she gets over dramatic about the meowing. It's hilarious. We've got some more pictures and video, but I'm not on the right computer to post anything at the moment. Once of us will add more when we can. Happy Friday!

Happy Halloween!

Olivia had a lot of fun this halloween... from picking out a pumpkin with Grandma to digging out the insides with Dada, to dressing up Halloween night. Poor baby had a slight fever on Halloween from her darn molars coming in... that's gotta hurt! Anyway, thought I'd post a few pictures.

PEEK-A-BOO!!
