Standing up

You stood up all by yourself today and then clapped for yourself!! You were so excited, and you kept doing it over and over and over again. You have stood by yourself many times but it is usually until you realize what you doing then you sit back down. Your sisters usually started cheering and getting so excited for you and then you sit. Haha. It's soo fun. 

Partying in NYC

We celebrated your birthday in New York City. Grandma Cocoa and Grandpa Disney were there visiting for a business trip and last minute we decided to hop in the car and head there for your birthday. We had the most amazing time. Grandma walked six miles to buy you the most amazing cupcakes called Georgetown cupcakes. We went to Central Park and dad and grandpa sought out the most beautiful spot around a little pond with a grand view of the city! You didn't eat much of your cake. You almost were afraid of it- the girls, grandma, and dad all tried to help you eat the cupcakes. You tried some of the bottom but the frosting was way too much for you and you and you wouldn't put in in your mouth. Lol. No worries Emily loved all the frosting for you. 

Happy birthday

You are 1 year old!! You have begun to babble a lot. I can feel like we have conversations, although I have no idea what you are saying, but you sure have a lot to say. You walk with assistance-push chairs around the house, walk with your walker, and hold on to our hands-, you laugh at everything your sisters do, you love to play Peakaboo in your crib and with sheets on your head, you would love to stay in my arms all day If you could. You bury your head into me and put your arms straight down --that's how I know you are getting sleepy. You love to pull out drawers and go though all my plastic wear, you love the sound of music and you shake your little body, you wave your arm to say hi when people lead music or talk with their hands, you wake up happy and jump up and down in your crib. Basically we love you to death Olivia. You are everything we could ever ask for. The most important thing I want you know is to always follow the prophet and always put God first, in everything we do.

Can't believe you are 11 months old. You love to laugh!! You love to be tickled, hang upside down, and basically laughs at everything your sisters say.

You have been sick since the end of October and for the first time you are starting to feel better. Probably why you laugh all the time. You always smile at everyone around but as soon as the look back at you, you snuggle your head into my shoulder like you are being shy. You gibber jabber all day and basically you say Dada and point at any and every object, you just change the pitch and tones for different objects. Daaaa da, dada, daaaâ da you get the point. Dad and I were talking today and he was saying you would probably be happy for the rest of your life if I carried you around, but the second someone takes you from me you get very worried and I can't go far.

You are always on my hip or in a Ergo. Or if I set you on the ground you wrap your arms around my legs and we Congo line it around the room as I get some house cleaning done. You found the toilet paper rolls and you can spin them completely out in less than 39 secs.  You also LOVE the vacuum. You crawl around and chase it while I vacuum. Haha. We all love you so much. You also love when your sisters run in your room and get you out of your crib. They also love to sing to you at night when we put you down to sleep.

Happy first Easter

More than anything this Easter I hope you understand the love your Heavenly Father and Jesus have for you. And for the important of the atonement in your life. You are a special girl and we love you. 

We are so happy to have you as our little sprig baby. You bring so much happiness in our home. This year the older two girls wanted you guys all to match. They picked out a yellow dress which is also your dads favorite color so he was a big fan of them.

You looked absolutely beautiful. We had lots of friends over and had a great Easter dinner and Madison also sang a song in Sacrament. You listened and focused right on her the whole time never making a peep. We love you. Happy 1st Easter. 

First Halloween

For your first Halloween you were a fish. You sisters were mermaids and they wanted your costume to coordinate. You were the cutest little fish. Dad and I were tinkerbell and Peter Pan
