Some of them are more obvious in one of the other pictures, but I used this one because it does have bits of all of them showing.
Jillian was the closest guesser the last time I checked, so she will get the 15 points unless I notice later this week that someone else guessed exactly 7 before this post went live.
Olivia is getting braver in her walking endeavors. If you're sitting close enough to the edge of a piece of furniture, though, be alert. Without warning she might throw her hands up in the air and stagger forward like a little zombie, fully expecting you to catch her before her face hits the floor. She's to the point where there's about a 40% chance that she chooses the zombie walk over crawling the two feet or so to her destination. Of course, zombie walks are not very safe if one's destination is not an alert adult, so we're hoping she outgrows this phase rather quickly and learns to just walk upright like a normal person.
If you give a one-year-old a fork... She'll want some food to go on it. Olivia kept trying to hold my fork, so I got a pack of toddler sized forks that are lighter and easier for her to hold. She's getting very good at putting a food-laden fork in her mouth, but she can't stab food by herself yet.
We've spent this week transitioning to only one nap. Olivia was not getting crabby as frequently in the afternoon, and would often play in her crib instead of sleeping, so we're dropping the afternoon nap. Of course, if her only nap is in the early morning, then she's very tired by about 5:00 in the evening, so I'm trying to push her morning nap back gradually until it's just after lunch. Some days this works better than others, but progress is being made. The biggest problem? Just when am I supposed to take my shower?!
Sometimes Olivia has hair sticking up all over the place, either because she's been pulling on it or because she slept on it funny. I don't remember when the following conversation took place, but I found it written down and decided to share:
Johannah: She has horns again.
Bryan: They're cute horns. (To Olivia) You're like a little rhino.
Johannah: They're on the sides of her head.
Bryan: You're like a little deer. But fatter. Like a rhino.
Pictures:
Wearing an outfit from Alison. She wears this skirt all the time now; it goes with almost all her shirts and is super cute.
Helping with laundry. She unloaded the basket one piece at a time and put everything in a little pile. Then she loaded it back up (still one piece at a time). Repeat. For about half an hour.
Just up from a nap:

I vote deer...there is no way she's fatter than either.....what about a half-grown german shepherd puppy?
ReplyDeleteChristopher Lloyd... that's what she is!
ReplyDeleteBryan: "she looks like a deer"
ReplyDeleteJohannah: "but a very cute deer"
Jillian: "make all the boy deer go 'hwaaa'"
