21 Things...

In honor of Olivia turning 21 months shortly, here's a list of 21 things you may or may not already know about her. (By the way, thank you Beth for this idea - I'm sorry to copy your title and I hope you don't mind if I continue to borrow your ideas every now and again.)


1. Is obsessed with anything fleece and soft - especially her silky. She especially enjoys rubbing her silky along her cheeks while sucking her thumb.
2. Likes to comfort others with said silky by rubbing it on your face or asking you to put your head on it.
3. Probably would not touch a piece of bread to save her life. If bread or anything even resembling bread-like texture touches her tongue, Olivia will stick her tongue out and attempt to wipe it off while saying "ackkkk."
4. Is extremely cautious - to the point that she often wants to hold my hand while stepping down the one inch drop from our garage floor to the driveway. Pathetic or cute, I'm not sure.
5. Frequently takes your hand, says "couch" and wants to turn on the "tete" (TV). Yes, she is exactly like her father!!!


6. Expects a snack while riding in her stoller. This is my fault for bribing her - I admit, I don't like to deal with whining. I'm going to have to toughen up in the future or there's going to be trouble in the temper-tantrum department.
7. After getting a dirty diaper changed, will continuously say "yucky poopy" until your acknowledge her comment and throw the diaper away.
8. Is afraid of a drill. When our friend Jason's drill was sitting on the table outside her room, she said "icky" every single time we passed it.
9. Roars at you when she wants to be chased.
10. Has quite the vocabulary including many two word phrases - favorites being: daddy truck, daddy/ba-pa work, ba-pa house, yucky poopy, mommy couch, and where's ____.


11. Wants to go up and down the stairs that lead towards the Whippy Dip from our house all the time and will throw a fit when you don't want to do this over and over again with her.
12. Has pooped in the tub a grand total of 4 times. Yuck.
13. Doesn't like ice-cream. Weird.
14. Kisses the animals in her favorite books goodnight - favorite books include Moo, Baa, La, La, La, Pajama Time, The Going to Bed Book, and Barnyard Dance.
15. Is extremely fair - if one person gets "knucks," a high-five, a hug, or a kiss, everyone will get them.


16. Will apparently bite at daycare if continuously provoked - provoking usually involves someone taking her silky away.
17. Like to get her toe nails painted and calls them her "pretties."
18. Has to get a kiss on any "ouchy," and if you ever say "ouch," she'll come running to give you a kiss.
19. May have a touch of OCD. She is obsessed with any bug on the floor and will say "yucky bug" until you pick it up - don't worry these bugs are just Asian beetles. This, by the way, drives Brian crazy and he's slightly worried that she might have a problem.
20. Loves her sister Grace and likes to give her kisses, but she also rocks Grace's swing so hard I'm afraid Grace my fall out one day if I'm not watching.
21. Has some pretty darn cute chunky thighs!
