Birthday #2

Whoops!

So, I called to Joe Ben on Sunday and Olivia, being the copycat she is, repeated. So now we have to constantly remind her his name is Daddy, not Joe Ben! I really try not to laugh when she says it!

Summertime has begun!

Time Flies. . .

I promise an update will be coming soon. We're keeping pretty busy chasing after Olivia these days. She wants to be OUTSIDE all the time. She is already darker than me which doesn't say much. We got a slide/swingset that is slowly coming together. We're heading to St. Louis to the Zoo and a Cards game so we should have some good pics to put up.

I've lost count on how many words Olivia is saying. It seems like I hear a new one every couple of days. She's enjoying our stroller rides around the neighborhood and going to the local parks. She is getting picky on her food. Seems like she eats more fruit than anything. They call her a steamroller at day care. Guess we won't have to worry about her getting beat up!

How long will this last?

Sign Language

So for Father's Day 2008 (pre-Olivia), I got JB a book about baby sign language. Of course, it make a great conversation piece in our living room but that's about all the use it has received. Last year, I noticed the same book at day care so I was ready to break it out again if I noticed any activity coming home. Well, this week it happened! She signed "more" on the way to school on Monday and I about drove off the road. Okay, maybe not, because I was still parked in the garage. Luckily, that was one of the few words I knew so I could actually acknowledge what she wanted. I got a sheet at day care last night to figure out which ones they practice daily and went over them last night. She copied me after I did the sign for "please" too! What a smartie!

She is progressing on words too. I think these are the ones I can think of that I understand when she says them:

cracker
diaper
apple
more
eat
ball
eye
cat
