There's been a lot of singing in the house lately. Olivia likes to sing the last part of "Wheels on the Bus" and the peanut butter song, and then recently she's enjoyed the "Please and Thank You" song from Yo Gabba Gabba ("please thank you, please thank you, please thank you, magic magic magic magic!"). Pretty much everything we say she'll try to repeat (curse words and all).
She's definitely a whirlwind of energy and activity--she's listening, reading, and exploring constantly. And it's great and wonderful, and...EXHAUSTING for her old parents. But, some days there are long stretches where she finds an activity that keeps her occupied, like her books, beads, and new legos.
After dinner every night, we go for a bike ride to the playground or the fountain at the park. She's becoming braver each time we go and now doesn't mind having water splashed on her face or getting completely drenched. In fact, water is her friend at the pool, in the sprinkler or at the park.
19 months is pretty awesome.
Olivia is a great ball of energy and happiness (and then sadness and tears and back to happiness). But I think it's because there are so many new things she can do and more that she wants to try.
I don't know where she got the idea to drink from the hose:
But she's drinking from a cup really well. That is until the cup makes her mad and she dumps it out on the floor, then slips and falls in the water....
But she's still my love:
