Happy 16 months of life to my sweet Olivia!
Liv is extremely curious about the world around her and eager to explore it. From smelling flowers to shouting at airplanes, she's becoming more and more aware of her surroundings. She is constantly pointing her chubby little index finger and saying "What's that?"
Her climbing abilities showcase her reckless side as she literally climbs up on anything, stands on the edge and sees how long it takes before she falls off. It's 50-50 whether the fall causes hysterical laughter or immediate tears. We're working on the appropriate way to get down from things without getting hurt :)
Liv has loved music since she was tiny and that remains true. Her dance moves are quite impressive, especially her little booty bounce, her side sway, and her quick foot stomp. And when her favorite songs come on, she does all the motions which is highly entertaining. She has started to be able to identify her body parts and points when you ask (teeth, belly, nose, eyes, head, etc). She is also getting the hang of some animals noises.
We've transitioned from two naps a day down to just one within the past two weeks. It's been a pretty smooth process and she's been taking a solid 2-3 hour nap now in the middle of the day. She is still a great sleeper through the night and we love to see her cuddle her lovies on the monitor.
Favorite Foods: Cherries, nectarines and pizza
New Big Girl Skill: Drinking from a glass
Teeth: The top two have finally broken through her gums. Still just the three on the bottom.
Words: She's starting to repeat lots more words after you say them.

Megan, she is so beautiful and getting so big. I cannot get over how big your nieces and nephews are too. I remember your sister bringing them in to visit the Research Dept. when the heat was out and we were all bundled up. I am so happy to see that you are all doing well. xoxo
