Almost 19 months!

    Well obviously I have been a slacker since I have not posted anything since June!! Olivia is a busy girl and into everything. She is so smart, of course, I am completely amazed everyday when I watch her do things. She climbs on everything... is beginning to jump off things and will begin to count (OK she says "1") right before she jumps... and oh yeah... she expects you to catch her. She babbles constantly but does say a lot of words very clearly. Over the last month or so she has become enthralled with Sesame Street and Elmo or "melmo" is her favorite. When the theme song for Elmo's World comes on she says "la la la" and dances. Ben and I took her to see Veggie Tales Live at church the other night and she LOVED it!!

    I was looking at my previous post and it is crazy how much she has grown in three months. She did not have an 18 month check up... the pediatrician said she could skip it and come back for her 2 year check up.... crazy to think that's not far off. So, since she hasn't been to the doctor in a few months I have no clue how much she weighs... I'm thinking around 24-25lbs?? I think the biggest change is her hair....she's finally growing some:) Still not enough for a bow, not that she would tolerate that, but definitely more than she had at the beginning of the summer. Next up on the agenda is finding a Halloween costume and start Christmas shopping!!

      In other news, we are very excited to announce that Olivia is going to be a big sister in March!!!! While there have been a few scares with this pregnancy we pray that God will protect this baby and we will welcome a new little one in the spring. We ask Olivia if she wants a baby brother or sister and she says "yeah." It's pretty funny... but she pretty much says "yeah" to everything we ask her. I bought her a big sister t-shirt but she really wont stay still long enough to get a picture of it on her... imagine that. However, that is how we announced the pregnancy to my family over my birthday last month.
