18 Months Old!

Olivia is getting to be such a big girl! On January 3rd, she turned 18th months old and on the Monday the 7th, I took her in for her scheduled check-up. As you can see, she's not too fond of getting examined by the doctor. Typical, he says, at this age. We were so thankful that we had a scheduled appointment because it turned out that Olivia had an ear infection that we did not know about. She had a cold while we were in California, but she did not have a fever or trouble sleeping. She got her first perscription for amoxicillian and she is doing a great job of taking her medicine.

It's hard to believe that Olivia is already 18 months old! She is very steady on her feet and even breaks out into a run every once in a while. While she is a little more particular about what she wants to eat, overall, she has adjusted well to table food well and tries new food all the time. The most fun part of her age and stage is her ever increasing vocabulary. She is beginning to say phrases and says new words practically every day. Her favorite words (and favorite items) are keys and phone. The girl has more toys than she knows what to do with and she wants my keys and phone...yikes! Watch out world, here comes Olivia!
