Here We Go Again

Okay! I am going to try this blogging thing yet again. I am obviously not that great at it yet...I do have quite the role model to aspire to though...Ms. Shannon. So much going on in life and yet the same-o...same-o. Olivia is talking...talking...talking. We wonder about the days now that we couldn't wait to hear what her voice would sound like. :) It is precious and never ending...literally...everything she says is repeated at least 10-15 times. Always waiting for a response from mommy/daddy...or both.

She is putting words together now to make small sentences. My favorite, "Tank you...Mommy" or "Want some...Peas!!!". She has quickly realized that any request followed by "Peas" usually gets her what she wants. Who are we kidding, anything she wants she pretty much gets...the benefits of the first and only child...the big blue eyes don't hurt her cause either. I just can not thank God enough everyday for such a wonderful blessing.

At night our routine consists of bath, cereal, books, prayers and sleep. Ahhhh...sleep!!! The sweetest part of the nightly routine is her prayers. The second you start the prayer with, "Dear God..." she begins naming off all the people and things that are important to her (and in her vocabulary). Example...Dawdee, Mommy, D-Dawd, MiMi, MeMo, D-Dawd, Boppie, GG, D-Dawd...notice D-Dawd(my dad) gets a number of prayer requests...not sure if it is because he's so special or because he truly needs that many prayers...lol. She also includes: swing, binki, puppies(masi, nola and patches, her stuffed animal), chickees, and bull(just a word she knows). The little things that mean so much! We are having so much fun being a part of Olivia's life...she is the truly the sweetest blessing!
