Olivia has made some great strides in the last week or so. Maybe not everyone would think so, but I was impressed! Last week I heard a noise behind me and found Olivia climbing into her walker. She had her cup in the cup holder already and pulled herself up into the walker. Then, she kicked back and drank her milk while watching TV.
We had her 15 month doctors appointment Thursday. She screamed and cried through most of it which I thought was kind of unusual for her. She didn't want them touching her and she certainly didn't want to lay on the table. She had 3 shots at the end. Of course she screamed her head off during those. Mommy had a headache afterwards from being so close to her mouth during the whole thing. Olivia is up to 19 pounds now and just under 29 inches tall. She will be 16 months on the 9th (in two days), but is still in 12 month clothes.
Also last week she was running around playing. She stopped and started saying "poop" over and over. I said, "What, did you poop?" And she said "yea". I'm thinking 'no way.' So, I checked and sure enough, she had pooped! I think I've told everyone that story - only those with little ones have seemed impressed. At the doctor's appt. they asked me if she tells me when she's peed yet. I'm thinking, I don't know of any 15 month olds telling their parents when they've peed. Maybe it's just me.
Olivia is saying about a dozen words on a regular bases now. Mamma, Daddy, Mamie (Macie), No No, Dog, Bath, Drink, Bye-Bye, Milk, Poop, Toot, Baby . . .
She can point out all of her body parts too.
There are still lots and lots of fits. She is very strong willed and very brave! She is now climbing on everything and standing on everything. We have to be on top of her at all times.
If I tell her it's time for her bath, she runs into the bathroom to the tub and tries to climb in. If I tell her it's time for bed she throws a fit. If I say "let's put your socks on" she puts her feet up for me.
Olivia amazes us everyday by all of the new things she's learned.
Here are some pictures I just took. Olivia is in a Valentine's outfit from Misty and Lyza (thanks guys!).

Too cute! Sounds like Olivia is developing her own personality and definitely making great strides.
