*You weigh 23lbs (30%), are 33in tall (80%), and have a head that's in the 60th percentile (can't remember the measurements). Tall and skinny...quite the opposite of when you were born. ;)
*You wear a size 3 diaper. You like to sit on the potty and demand toilet paper quite often. I doubt that means you will be potty trained early, but one can hope!
*Wearing a size 12mo in most clothing, but beginning to transition to 18mo for the length. You also wear a size 4 shoe, but transitioning to a size 5.
*You are quite the mess. Like, for real. Your personality has us laughing all.the.time. However, you can also be quite the handful. You are loud, active, busy, ornery, full of spunk, rough, hard-headed, sweet, and so many other adjectives. You definitely fit your nickname of "Livy Grace Rotten".
*Your vocabulary and speech leave everyone amazed. Sophia was quite the early talker, but you have her beat. You speak very clearly and use words that most 1.5 year olds don't. For instance: rather than a simple "no" you prefer to give a "no way", you've told us "that was 'dicilous (ridiculous)", and you frequently ask "sisser, you comin'?" whenever we are leaving....among many, many other things. We counted up before your 15mo appointment and you already had over 65 words/phrases and I can't even begin to estimate where you are at now. Both the pediatrician and his nurse made comments about your language at your 18mo well check. I told them is it sometimes a blessing and sometimes a curse. ha!
*You don't get quite as much sleep as I'd like, but I can't complain about your sleep habits. You usually lay down for bed around 7:00 and are asleep 10-15 min later. However, you are usually awake by 5:45 or so and ready to get out of bed by 6:30. I can't complain because you do keep yourself entertained, but I would love it if you slept in a bit more...especially on the weekends. You also take a 2ish hour nap every day.
*You have 14 teeth with a couple more coming soon. You have a big gap in your front teeth...I think it's cute...and makes you look even more rotten. You quit using your pacifier right after you turned 17 months. You probably could have quit it sooner, but I was too chicken to try. You only used it for nap & bed and I didn't want to mess with it, but finally decided to take it away one night and you didn't care much at all! You asked for it for about 3 days, but never fussed about it. =)
*You used to be a great eater, but not so much anymore. Some of your favorite foods are: waffles, bananas, cheeseburgers, mac-n-cheese, ice cream, and fruit snacks.
*A few of your favorite things are: Sophia, Minnie "House", baby dolls, coloring, mommy, singing, and reading.
Olivia, you are such a light in our lives. You are definitely one of a kind and we love that about you! You are so different than Sophia, and that's what makes you both so special. God knew you'd be a handful...and often more than Sophia can take...so we believe that's why He's blessing us with a baby brother for you. ha! We're not quite sure how you're going to adjust to having a new baby around, but I think you'll be okay as long as you have Sophia. You LOVE your sister and she LOVES you back...your bond is so special to watch. Livy, we love you so much and are so happy to have you. Your spunk is something I hope you always have. Thank you for the personality you add to this family.
