An update... FINALLY!

My laptop is finally fixed and now I have lots of pictures to download and edit!

It has been almost 2 months since my last post. Winter is finally on the way out and Spring is moving in!

Olivia and I have been going on walks after dinner the last couple of nights. She loves to be outside and run through the neighborhood. She has discovered that we have a creek and other small streams on the paths that we walk on and likes to toss sticks into the water. We also have had a kitty cat, who I think is expecting, follow us the past two nights. She comes out from the yard of one of our neighbors and meows as she follows us for about three houses, then she stops and watches us for a while before turning back to go home. Olivia thinks this is too cute, she asks if it is her kitty and wants to pet it. The kitty is not so sure of Olivia and has not gotten close enough for Olivia to reach out yet. Olivia seems to have also gotten over the slight "fear" she had of dogs. She now talks about seeing doggies and like to pet the neighborhood dogs we see on our walks.

Olivia is growing into such a cute toddler. I think our baby days are gone. Her vocabulary is amazing and she repeats what she hears with such dramatic gesturing and expressions. She sings songs, dances and reads her books. She has actually memorized some of the books we read to her, it is so funny to hear her read herself to sleep at night.


Olivia went to her first wedding this past weekend. My younger cousin Tommy got married about 2 hours north of us. All of the family was in and it was so nice to get together for such a happy occasion this time. The six pack had a fun time dancing and running around with the other cousins and kids at the wedding reception. She did pretty good during the ceremony. Was very excited and a wouldn't whisper when talking, but for her first wedding ever, and being a wiggly toddler she did ok :-)

Now that my computer is fixed, I'll update more often. Here are some pictures from the last couple of months.
