22 months!




Q. What's your favorite thing about Olivia right now?

Chris: Her smile and that she likes to sing her ABC's.

Alisa: Her non-stop dialog, most of which sounds like Japanese, but still pretty convincing dialog.

Q. What does she do that makes you laugh?

Chris: When she asks: "Are you a chicken?" and I say no. Then she asks, "Are you a turtle?" And I say no, and she asks, "Are you a chicken?"

Alisa: When she wants me to "cry" and then she consoles me. Then she wants me to cry again.

Q. What is something you don't want to forget about this time?

Chris: That she actually wants to hold my hand and she asks me to hold her. I don't want to forget how much she loves funny things like pumpkins and carrying her little pumpkin everywhere.

Alisa: How she likes to pick mint leaves and then bring them to me to smell. And when she wants me giver her a piggy-back ride, she calls it riding on mommy's shoulders. And how she sits in the bathroom reading Time magazine.
