Livee Turns 2!!!!

Olivia is turning 2 today! She is such a sweetheart and I am so thankful for my little bundle of joy.

Olivia loves to smile and laugh and play. She giggles all day long. She loves to run and hide and make you look all over for her. She is talking so well- and singing, too!! She can sing her ABC's, Twinkle-Twinkle, I love to See the Temple, If You Chance to Meet a Frown , Jingle Bells and many more. She is very independent. She knows what she wants and how she wants it. Most days she dresses herself, picking out her own clothes and putting them on- like in this picture of her today... She is my most busy child. She loves to explore and experiment with everything. Her favorite activity is sitting on the couch and reading stories. She can sit for hours with mommy or daddy or Gloria or Gray or Cami reading to her, over and over and over again. She knows what stories she wants and everyone in this family loves to sit and read to her. She is very polite. She always uses Please when she asks for things and says Thank You when you give her something. She signs quite a few words and loves to sign... even though I don't work with her on signing very often. She loves people. She loves to say Good Morning to everyone we pass in the parking lot, She asks people in the grocery store "How are You"? She tells people "Have a nice day" when we leave, She waves Hi to every kids she sees, she lets anyone pick her up and hold her (as long as mommy is near by). Here is a fun bit of news..... as a family we went to see the movie "MegaBrain" and it was the FIRST show that we as a family were able to sit through from start to finish!!! Usually one of us has to leave with Livee half way through the show because she is too busy and making too much noise... but we finally made it through a show!! It is fabulous. She makes everyone in this family smile, all day long. In the mornings, I love to send her to wake up her brother and sisters because they all love to be woken up by her. They pull her into bed and she cuddles and loves them until they get out of bed... They love it!! She is definitely doted on by everyone here. We can't help it. We all just want to hold her and love her and cuddle and kiss her. She loves to be doted on and loved on and cuddled and kissed... so it all works out just fine for everyone. She is a sweety and I am thankful every minute of every day for my SUPER BUSY, super cute big girl!! Happy Birthday, Livee.
