Olive My Girl: Fourteen Months

Well, were a week shy of fifteen month now. Time is moving fast than ever....

Fourteen month Olive goes to Storytime in her "Kitty dress"!

Olive is just growing into such a little girl! Everyday I see more and more of her hilarious personality! She makes me laugh, I mean, BELLY laugh, daily. She really loves to laugh, and tries to turn any situation, into one full of laughter. I wonder where she gets this from..? She is doing this funny thing where everytime she takes a bit of food she makes this loud "GGGRRRROAR" and then makes chopping noises. I just love this.

Shes RUNNING. I have to move fast to prevent her from falling of something dangerous, which can be super exhausting.

She eats CONSTANTLY, and loves food. She eats pretty much anything I give her. Her favorite foods are: mushrooms, Amy's veggie Enchiladas, ham, and berries. She also loves the occasional potato chip! She still loves her almond milk in the bottle too.

She loves people! We took her to a party today, and she was just smiling and interacting with about anyone would would agree to. Ive started taking her to the childcare at the YMCA while I work out, and they LOVE her in there. She seems busy and happy to play with different toys.

She really enjoys watching Daniel Tiger on Netflix. She loves the songs and waves to him. Its cute.

She loves going on walks with us around the block. She watches for dogs, bunnies, trucks, motorcycles, and other kids. She lets me know if she sees any of these.

She has started saying "no" and shaking her head. She also equally says "yep". She mostly says "no" to the dogs when they hound her for food.... She thinks its hilarious to shake her head when I ask for a kiss. Then, proceeds to kiss EVERYTHING else she can... just not me. Picture of me? yes... just not me. Hilarious.

She loves reading books. Her favorite is probably Goodnight Moon. She loves pointing out where the mouse is. She also likes Dr. Seuss, and any book full of pictures.

Olive sits in her chair and reads.

OOOOh baby, is she obsessed with babies. She is starting to have a little collection of them too. She hugs them, kisses them, rocks them, feeds them, and makes them dance. She lays them on blankets and gives them bottles. I tell her she is such a good mommy.

Shes quite the helper these days too. She follows directions pretty well, so if i tell her something like... "bring me your plate so I can give you more food", she does it. She helps me take care of the dogs too. She finds their dog food bowls so I can feed them. She carries out the clean poop bags when I take them out, and then hands them to me when one of them poops. She also alerts me when lucy has fallen somewhere and needs help. I hope this trait stays for a while.

She also loves her daddy. This girl is a daddys girl. She LOVES him. Seriously. She loves to play with him, but also snuggles and kisses him too. Shes a lucky girl to have such a loving daddy. He is the best.

Olive and Daddy being cozy after a long day of making this room messy.

Shes still interested in the potty, and will occasionally do something on it. She is aware and tells me when shes pooping or when she has peed in her diaper. No rush here, its a huge process and were at the very begining.
