tomAYto, tomAHto

Dear Olivia,

Last night as I put you down, you repeated everything I said. 
Me:  "night night livey"
You: "night night livey"
Me:  "luv you"
You:  "loo oo"
Me:  "see ya later"
You:  "BOO."

Little did we know, as you'd been silently sucking your fingers, observing, and letting us do most of the talking for 2 years...now you're my chatty bug. 
Your vocabulary continues to surprise us all...
Now you love to talk about your toothbrush, and talk to your toothbrush.
You tell yourself, "no, no, no" when you are super-tempted to do something naughty.
"Ah go??" = where did everybody go?
"kooky"=cookie
Aunt Amber is "Ammoh," not to be confused with red, fuzzy "Emmo."
At halloween, you said thank you ("shay shoe") for the first time.



Love you Emmo,
mom

happy hawkeyes



Dear Olivia,
I love that you and your cousins are hawkeye fans and you have no idea who Ferentz is, or how overpaid he is.  I also love that you can giggle non-stop with your cousins, no matter who wins or loses. 
Love, mom

grama & grampa


Dear Olivia,
I found some pictures from the summer with grandpa and grandma holding you.  I know they wish they could see you more and some day we will introduce them to Skype. 
Love, mom
