Valentine's Day/ Mamma's Birthday

Yesterday was Valentine's day and my birthday. I turned 31. Yuck. It was great to have Olivia home to celebrate with us though. I was off work (which has rarely happened since I was 15) and she and I spent the day at home together just relaxing. Olivia was very lovey yesterday and in a decent mood so it was nice. We watched Cinderella which I haven't seen in years. Then, last night my mom and dad came over and once Ken got off work we went to Stoll's for dinner. Olivia loves her grandparents and they spent the whole time cracking each other up. They brought her a Dora Valentine's card that sings a backpack song (which I think I've heard atleast 200 times now). The song caused her to create a new dance move. Olivia dances better that most adults I've seen and she'll dance to anything. It's hilarious! Olivia adores her Papaw who she doesn't get to see very often and I've never seen him smile as much as he does around her. They crack me up together.
Olivia is finally starting to say "gwama" once in a while. She also says "bird" and knows one when she sees one whether it be a robin, our cockatoo or a rooster. She is nodding yes now instead of always shaking her head no. She's also saying "eww" and "nose" and "snack".
Today we are mostly hanging out at home again. Right now we're watching Sleeping Beauty." She's getting excited about the horse the prince rides. So far she shares our love of horses. Rachel insists Olivia will be an English rider like she is.
