Olivia at 2 years old!

Our girl is TWO and so much fun! She's still a complete ham every time a camera is pointed at her and also loves walking around with one of Sofia's cameras saying "Say Cheese" and pretends to take pictures. She is 34 3/4 inches tall (83rd percentile) and weighs 32.1 pounds (95th percentile) and wears 2T clothes, although she will likely be moving up to 3T soon, especially in tops, which are getting both snug and short. She is still a huge shoe fan and loves wearing any pair of shoes that she can find and will often come up to me and say "Mommy shoes?" which means she wants to wear the shoes I'm wearing. Every morning she picks out the shoes she wants to wear and usually changes shoes throughout the day too. She also has to pick out what she wants to wear and will not let me put on her clothes until she's completely out of her pjs and just wearing a diaper.

Olivia adores her big sister and loves to play dinosaurs with her, taking out each little plastic dinosaur and lining them up next to each other. She also loves sitting at the craft table and coloring and is excellent at taking the lids off pens and putting them back on, which I'm thankful for so we don't have dried out pens. She doesn't have a lovey or favorite toy, although she loves "reading" to herself in her room and also loves being read to before naps/bed or anytime. She's working on talking more and tries saying more words now. She loves to say "I need to see" when I'm cooking or when I'm pointing something out to Sofia. She also says "I need one/some" or "I need a piece" which really means "I want a piece of gum". She loves gum and mints and would eat both all day long if she could! She still doesn't try saying "cow" ("boo"), "horse" ("neigh"), "cat/kitty" ("mauw"), or any other animals other than "puppy". She's great at "Hi" and "Bye Bye" and when asked how old she is, she says "Two." Even though she may not be as verbal as Sofia was at this age, she can get her point across very well!

She's just starting singing and loves "Old McDonald Had a Farm" which she calls "EIEIO" and will often say "Mommy, I want EIEIO" and she'll sing along to it as best she can. She also will walk around during the day and just start signing it, which means she carries the tune and gets the "EIEIO" parts right but then will say "BOO, BOO, BOO" to the tune. It's very cute. She's such a fun, sweet, happy girl who goes with the flow and is so much fun to be around all day!
