2 Month Overdue Update

Again, this post is way over due. Well 2 months overdue to be exact. May I add the sunshine and warm weather is not helping me to want to stay in and write this. :)
When I looked back at the last post of Olivia starting to walk, it just amazes me how fast they grow and catch onto things. She is practically running already. Chasing her sister is a daily occurrence, which I am sure will go on for many years yet.
We are coming up on the big ONE for Olivia. So things about Olivia
*She loves dancing to music
*LOVES her sister
*Likes to play patty cake (which she is starting to do on her own)
*She loves food. Even though I really don't think she even tastes it she eats so fast!
*Likes playing outside, and hates coming in. Poor kid gets so excited because she thinks we are going out when really we are going to the car. :)
*Is now a pro at going up and down the stairs.
*She is a very determined child. In fact I strongly think she is strong willed!
*Says momma, dadda, night night, kitty, and many other things we just can't understand it.
* Good at listening. She understands "no", or if you tell her to get her blankey, she does. or if you tell her to give her sister (or whoever) a kiss, she does
*She may be OCD like her sister. When we change her clothes or put pj's on she puts the dirty ones in the laundry. This is how it started with Evelynn. Oh and he is into helping with the dishwasher(handing me stuff)
So that is the nut shell of Olivia these days. :)

New Things with Evelynn...
*She is a good and helpful sister, even though this isn't new I thought I would share again.Many times she is more of a mother than a sister to Olivia.
*The newest thing is trying to clean, well scrub, a freckle of her hand. Daily i have to show her my freckles and try to teach her they don't come off, no matter how hard or how much she scrubs. She doesn't believe me, and usually ends with crying and her saying "dirty, clean". I only can imagine what it is going to be like when/if she gets anymore.
*She is starting to be more clear in some of her speaking, and seems to understand a lot more!
*Is now sleeping in the bed without the bed rail.
*Went through a period of time where she was getting into things like Vaseline, baby Orejel, diaper rash cream, etc. she found the box that I had put at the top of the closet and pushed a couple totes to climb on. She then took Orejel and put it all over her body as if it was lotion, including in her hair. Then wiped Vaseline all over the crib rail, closet door and window. Hope it was fun for her because it was not cleaning it up.
*She enjoys talking on the phone and taking pictures.
*She tells you to "hold on!" which is usually followed with some sort of discipline because she doesn't say it with much respect. lol
That is Evelynn in a nut shell these days.

There you have it folks, things that are new about the girls for the last couple months.
