Can you believe that Olivia is already ten months old? It’s shocking that she is almost one and how quickly she is growing. Lately she seems much more toddler-like than a baby. Over the past month, she totally understands what I am saying. She knows what “no” means, but often chooses to ignore it or breaks down into her fake cry when I say it. She comprehends commands like “come here,” “give to me,” and “put that down.” She can give you hugs or snotty kisses when you ask for them.
Her smile continues to beam from ear to ear the majority of the day. I love how her eyes get squinty and cheeks get chubby when her smile is really big! Her flirting skills are impressive and make every outing to the grocery store or Target a good time. At our Wiggleworms and Gymboree classes, she works to get the attention of the teachers and loves interacting with the other babies.
She pulls up on everything and has taken a few steps on her own before falling down. It is adorable how much she loves to play with her toys and how she has developed favorites like her etch-a-sketch and mini t-ball stand. Pointing at things is one of her newest tricks and she thinks it’s hysterical when your pointer finger touches hers. She loves clapping and dancing to music. Literally anytime there is music on, she starts bouncing her booty. Before bed, she likes to snuggle and listen as I read her books. Our day to day routine is just delightful and I love spending my time with her.
