Bad Blogger

Oh my. Olivia is 19 months old now, and I could just kick myself for not blogging past her first 2 months. I switched to a photo-sharing site then, which made it easier to upload pictures (and we do have some great pictures!) but I'm sad that I don't have much else "journaled" about her. So here goes...

She was an awesome baby - the best! Hardly fussed (at least not in public), just sat there and smiled. She got her first tooth the day after her 4 month "birthday." She had her first taste of "real food" at 7 months (if you consider cereal "real food") and has been a big fan ever since. She had the biggest, roundest, most adorable cheeks a baby could ever have. She crawled a little bit later than other children, but that was probably more my fault, because I didn't want to put her on the dirty floor. She took her first steps at 14 1/2 months old, and up until that time she was a very timid baby. Nothing stops her nor slows her down now! She does an excellent job of using her utensils. (The kids loves to eat! Especially milkshakes and cheese dip.) Her first word was "Mommy" and she was particular to pronounce it correctly. She squeals and dances whenever Daddy comes home - she adores him. She likes to help put on makeup, and learned pretty quickly how to unscrew the lids. (Yep - we've had several messes!)

She's beautiful - beyond words - and amazes me every day. I still cannot believe she's mine.
