Happy 25th and 26th month birthdays!!!

Well...last month just got away from me and I didn't get to write about Livy's 25th  month birthday, so I am combining it with her 26th month birthday.


                     25 Months Old                                                26 Months Old

Things Olivia has learned to do the past 2 months:

* First off, after turning 2, she stopped calling me mommy. I am now momma. I don't really care for this bc mommy was so cute but it is her choice.
* She has learned MOST of her colors and gets them right MOST of the time when you ask her!!
* She is counting up a storm. She can go from 1-15, but skips 4 and 14 sometimes. We have been working really hard consistently say the 4 and will work on the 14 next!!
* She loves being sang to!! Her new favorite song is Jesus Loves Me. I think it is the most adorable thing when she sings it!! She also still loves Rock-a-Bye-Baby and Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes now.
* She still talks all the time!!! Jay is still having difficulty understanding most of it but gets it when she is very vocal!! Most of the time I can pick up what she is saying, but that is bc I am with her all day.
* She still loves The Little Gym. She is doing great at the balance beam, rings, bars, and lots of other activities too. She is learning many songs from there too and making lots of new friends!!
* Livy is just a bit obsessed with Mickey Mouse...just a little!!
* She still loves her babies. She feeds them, rocks them, pushes them in her strollers, puts them in her high chair, and so much more!! She loves to read books to them too...super cute!! Unfortunately she likes to keep them naked most of the time.
* She can now open the refrigerator. She loves doing that and messing with all the food in it!!
* She loves mac-n-cheese the most these days.
* She loves being outside...luckily we haven't had a bad winter and have had a lot of chances to get outside.
* We taught Livy to sing our blessing...like Jacob does. She can do it all by herself now!! It is super cute!!
* She has learned circle and heart for sure...almost got triangle too, but still working on it a bit!!
* I put Olivia's name on the wall so we can work on learning the letters in her name. She gets O most of the time but not the rest of the letters yet. She is very cute though. She stands at the letters with her babies and says "What letter is that?" Then she names some random letter!!! ADORABLE!!
* We taught her to say "GO TARHEELS"!!! It is awesome!!!
* She is very artistic...she loves to color, write, paint.
* She is still a little mommy. Now she gets her baby's carseat, her baby, and her baby's diaper bag and waves at me telling me "see you later, I go to store". It is so cute!!
* She always wants to hold Big Mac in her lap!! She pulls him all around the house. She takes his leash and "walks" him.
* She still gets sooooo frustrated when she is trying to do something and it isn't working. She will throw the thing down or run away and throw herself on the floor. It is pretty funny!!
* She LOVES her piggy bank!! She has me take out the coins over and over so she can put them back in.
* She is very "girly"!! She likes to pretend putting on her "make-up"!! So precious!!
* Bathtime is still a favorite time of the day!!
* And one of the biggest things that happened...LIVY GOT RID OF HER PASSY!!! She is doing pretty good at bedtime and naptime, most days. She def stays up later talking to herself but that is ok. She did great with getting rid of the passy.

She is a little person now!! She talks to you and understands what you say to her. She wants to help with everything. She is amazing!!! We love you Livy Loo!!
