Here are some photos when Olivia was 17 months. She had her 18 month checkup at the beginning of May & weighed 20 pounds, 10 ounces. She is still very small for her age; she is in the 5th percentile for weight & 10th for height. She has a really good appetite though, her favorite foods are chicken nuggets & spaghetti. She is such a big snacker, I feel like she is always eating! Her new thing is to climb up in her highchair & wait for me to bring her something. She is so rough & tough trying to always keep up with her big brother & has NO fear!! She will do just about anything Cameron is doing & I think she is more daring & tougher than he is! She loves to jump off things right now....mainly the furniture so I really have to watch her. Although she shows her tough side most of the time she just started to really love her dolls. She will get them from her room & carry them all around the house. I feel like I am always picking them up! She also really likes books & will carry them to Charles or I and sit down to listen to the story (which lasts all of 30 seconds.......you have to read fast :) She is always on the go, even despite taking short naps (40 mins!) I think she is just one of those children who doesn't require a lot of sleep. Even with her temper (she's a hitter when she is mad!) she is still just the sweetest baby girl. She loves to blow kisses & give little kises on the cheek. We just love her so much!!!
She climbed up in her highchair with her doll & book :)
She loves this doll that my Aunt Pam gave her, its her favorite
Getting ready to go swimming with her new bathing suit. Oh, and once she saw Cameron jumping into the pool she had to jump in too! She loved it though & had no fear going underneath the water. I am so glad that we don't have a pool, it would be such a worry for me!
Just starting to eat by herself, such a big girl!!
Playing with the Max & Ruby dolls. Sometimes I will see her chatting to them, so cute!! I wish I could get that on video :) Oh, and as you can see in the photo there is a nice scattering of dolls on the floor beside her :)
I didn't want to leave Cameron out of this post so I took an idea from my sister & asked him some questions. I just love these questions & hearing the responses, I think I will do it again when he turns 4. Here are the questions I asked Cameron & his answers:
