Pulls on high chair cushion with her teeth when standing in the floor... a habit or trick learned from Trixie!
Missing Kevin right now as he is on travel, asking for him and constantly looking for him around the house. Tonight she snuck out the back door onto the patio, calling out for him.
This past week, Kevin and I FaceTimed and Olivia was SOOOO excited to see him. She held out her arms for her Daddy to pick her up. That pulled at my heart strings.
Olivia has learned to pull the string of her See and Say from Roxanne. She doesn't pull it quite far enough to engage the sound, but she's *almost* there!
Olivia has eight teeth coming in. They're the next two on either side of the four front top and bottom teethies. I think that's why she's been biting a little more than usual.
She proved once more that she knows when Daddy goes on travel, and I received a call from daycare on Monday saying she was acting like she had ear infections. After several hours at Urgent Care, it turned out to be excess ear wax and they dug / flushed it out. Another pull at my heart strings was watching her be all swaddled (straight-jacketed) up and two nurses and me holding her down to do the flushing. Olivia was looking at me, crying super hard, with a look like "save me Mommy! Why are they doing this to me?" She's all better now. We'll just have to keep an eye on those ears. She did have a little cough as well, but that has subsided.
Olivia seems to have grown an inch or more in the last couple weeks - her clothes are looking smaller! My little girl is growing up!
I think I mentioned that I was promoted early this year and I'm working through the transition. The more I learn, the more excited I am about the new role... and hopefully lower stress.
I'm looking forward to the weekend and hanging out with Kevin and Olivia - Saturday morning is Music Together, then I'm using up a MassageEnvy credit, then I'm hoping we'll make a family trip to Ardenwood Farm after Olivia's nap. She'll love seeing the animals especially since she's walking now! Tomorrow night I'm meeting with Deanna for dinner - it's been quite awhile since catching up with her.
Today Olivia was putting her sunhat on and keeping it there! Amazing!!!!
One of her favorite toys is Mommy's cell phone (and her Kindle Fire for Kids from Daddy)
