cute livi-isms

HONEY.......
So olivia is sitting on the couch while i was scrubbing the stains on the carpet below her.................she kept saying"mommy, mommy, mommy...." so i finally said, "yes, honey." she looked at me a little perplexed and said," honey?" I looked up at her and said, "yes, its a nice name to call someone." so she kept calling me honey. she kept saying,"mommy, honey? mommy, honey." I couldnt help but laugh. Because she can identify honey by seeing the sticky stuff in pooh's honey pot, i cant imagine what was going through her head when i was calling her honey. She thought it was so funny that i would respond when she called me honey. :)

NO THANK YOU.......
so, i have been trying to get olivia to say thank you for a while. So after everything she gives me i say, "thank you!" So after everything i give her i tell her to say thank you mommy. Of course this hasnt worked yet. But the other day she started saying: your welcome. So everytime she hands me something and i say thank you, she says, " your welcome." very enthusiastically. But now everytime i get her juice or give her something and tell her to say thank you she just looks at me and smiles and says,"your welcome!"

STICKIES......
Olivia loves stickers. Jimi had stopped by the store this morning and bought her some dora and spongebob stickers. Two of her favorite cartoons. She was so excited she instantly pulled out a coloring book which she has designated for stickers only and pulled off each dora sticker on the sheet and put it on one page of the book. This evening she was working on the spongebob stickers and i flipped on the television and dora happened to be on. Well livi looks up with excitement she points to the tv and yells:DORA! which actually sounds like: Iya! she rushed to find the page in her "stickie book" with all the dora stickers and she yells at dora on the tv: "Iya (dora), I have your stickies!" as she showed dora on the television her dora stickers. She was so excited. :)

SOCIAL BUTTERFLY.......
livi is truly her own person. she loves people and other children, hardly ever shy. We went to sharon woods today and of course there were alot of other children there. The children that she was playing with were her size, yet they were not wearing diapers and most were speaking in full sentences. She tends to gravitate to older children mostly. But there were lots of little toys floating around and lots of children playing. But she was so excited to say hi to everyone, and when she picked up a toy, most times you could hear another little voice say, that's mine! usually that is olivia's line.............but she would return it to who it belonged to nicely. I was so impressed and surprised. She played and played and played.............and it blows my mind that she has absolutely no fear. she will approach anyone.

My little livi is growing up before my eyes and i am finding it hard to believe how fast it is going.........i have enjoyed being home with her this month, it makes me a little bit sad that i cant be home with her forever. :) She is the best thing that has ever happened to me!
