Olivia at 6 1/2 Years Old!

Olivia is growing up so fast! She is now 58 1/4 inches tall and weighs 58.4 pounds! I can't believe how much she's changed since she just turned six! Olivia still has many of her favorites, such as sucking her thumb and rubbing her belly. She also really loves to rub my belly because it is "warm and soft." Her favorite breakfast is what CK makes on Saturday mornings: homemade biscuits, scrambled eggs and bacon. She loves orange juice every morning, no matter what she's eating. She also loves spaghetti and can eat an amazing amount of it for dinner. She also loves tomato soup with cheese tortellini in it, which is a dinner I make when CK is traveling since he's not a fan of tomato soup. She really loves sliced cucumbers and likes them in her lunch. She also loves small bell peppers and roasted cauliflower.

Olivia still loves to wear either leggings and a shirt or a short and shirt and always wants a ponytail. I can talk him into a braid, but very rarely! Her favorite movie is "The Greatest Showman" and she knows all the songs since we have the CD in the car and listen to it nearly every time we are driving somewhere. Both girls know every word and sing all the songs. When Olivia grows up she wants to either design rockets or be a teacher. She loves playing with Sofia, who is her best friend and her friends. Her favorite friends are Cora, Scott, Hana B and Hannah J.

Like her sister, Olivia loves to read and has recently started reading the Magic Tree House series. She doesn't read as much or as often as Sofia, but she often will go into her room and start reading on her own. She still loves bedtime stories, although now she generally reads to us instead of us reading to her. She loves reading the Highlights magazines from cover to cover before bed. We saved them from when Sofia was growing up, so we have years of them to go through. They are a good mix of fun, interesting and puzzles.

Olivia loves school and really loves her teacher, Ms. Feaster. She is a serious student and gets frustrated when kids at her table don't take the lessons seriously. She's really come out of her shell at school and enjoys being involved throughout the lessons. She plays tag at recess and has a bunch of friends. She remains our social butterfly and always wants to have a playdate with a friend.
