Olivia Grace is One!!!!!!!

    Well here we are!! February 21, 2012.... I blinked and all of the sudden my newborn baby girl is a walking babbling little girl. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was anxiously awaiting her arrival and praying for a healthy baby. Wow.... I know I say it over and over..... but time really does fly. I am so very thankful for the perfect child that God had given me and I am so proud to be her mommy. I can not imagine life any other way and even during the difficult times I am grateful.

    Now, enough of the sappy stuff. Olivia is so independent now. She starting walking about three weeks ago... and is now trying to run! She has a shoe fetish.... but absolutely hates to have them on her feet.... she just carries them around and DOES NOT let go... pretty funny. Olivia has also been quite the conversationalist. Of course I do not understand a word she says.... but it sounds a lot like Chinese.... by baby must be bilingual!! Hehehe. Another thing Olivia has perfected is climbing the stairs (with me right behind her) She loves to be tickled, loves to dance, and just loves to smile at everyone.... and waves all the time.... even to the TV. So entertaining!

    Ben and I were both off work today so we had a wonderful family day!! These are few and far between! We went to lunch at Bahama Breeze with Ben's mom and then went to the Zoo!!! Olivia had such a good time looking at the animals and walking around on her own. I think she thought she was hot stuff because she got to walk all over outside while we followed her around. After we got home we all took a short nap and then went to dinner at our local Mexican place.... Olivia loves Mexican food.... it's her favorite!!!!! Especially guacamole.... she fits right in with our family:)
