Dancing...

Full blown toddlerhood...

I've been a bit neglectful of the blog lately. I haven't posted since Livvy turned a year old. She's 16 months now, and a bundle of energy. I spend a good deal of my time at home chasing after her. She is quite fearless, and will climb and throw herself off of anything. She took a header off of our bed, which is quite tall, and wanted right back up so she could throw herself off the edge. This one is going to give me grey hair:)

Olivia is also full of personality. She loves to pull faces and I often get comments about how entertaining she is. I have been warned that I will probably recieve many calls home about my class clown. She is quite the mimic and will copy just about any face that Rod or I pull.

I am now looking forward to a summer off with my little one. I can't wait for a couple of months of nothing but taking care of her. I've already got a few little adventures planned.

The following pics are some highlights from the past couple of months. We recently had a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Jorgensen that included Olivia's first trip to the beach. She refused to walk on the sand, but had a great time sitting on our laps and playing in it.

A year old...

No longer is she a baby. Olivia is charging into toddlerhood full speed ahead. She's not quite walking on her own, but loves to cruise around with the aid of a push toy. She is pure entertainment these days. We often refer to her as "Hurricaine Olivia" because of her ability to completely take out a room in less than five minutes. She is also saying a couple of words. "Hey" and "Hi" were the first, soon followed by "Diddy" (kitty). She gets a kick out of chasing the cats around the house while squealing "Diddy!" at the top of her lungs. Needless to say, the cats spend a good deal of time hiding under the bed.

Speaking of cats, as I was typing this, Olivia just crawled over and ate a piece of cat food. Maybe we should go have some lunch. :)
