Oooops, I said I was going to take a picture of Olivia every day starting this year, didn't I? Well, I'll start tomorrow, which is January 5th. hee hee. I'll post a few pics of her at the end of last year, on her 1st birthday. How's that for a compromise?
I also need to start recording some of the funny/scary/interesting things that happen with her, because I"m not going to remember everything. Last night Olivia discovered her ability to scream like a banshee! And boy did she find it amusing! To make matters worse, Derek decided to encourage this crazy behavior! He'd flail his arms around and shriek, which would have Olivia rolling on the floor laughing. Then she'd get up, throw her arms straight in the air and shriek as loud as SHE could! This went back and forth for a few minutes, until Olivia was red in the face and coughing. I laughed, but when she starts doing it all the time I'm going to be kicking Derek!
So this morning was Olivia's 1 year check-up. She's gained a "whopping" 5 ounces since her 9 month appointment. And Dr. Malik seemed a bit concerned that she only eats smooth food, and barely any table foods. He wants her to see a speech pathologist who specializes in feeding disorders. But...I don't know. On the one hand, I think I should call them (it's free, provided by the county, and if something is wrong it would be caught early), but then today she ate great. Maybe she's just picky. I'm going to wait the rest of this month, and see how things are after the cruise. I'm also hoping she'll start saying some words soon. We'll see.
So then this evening was bath time. I was by myself because Derek was working a bit late. Found out just how slippery she is....she was turning in the water and slipped and went underwater. So I went to pick her up and I couldn't get a grip on her! It was only a few seconds, but I finally got her above the water. Of course, then she slipped and went under again for another second, but I had a better grip on her. Needless to say, she was NOT a happy camper! Thus ended bath time. :) Ah well, hopefully she'll forget by Thursday, her next bath day.
Oh and one more thing to record...starting on her birthday, December 31st, she took two steps! And every day since then (uh, except today), she has taken at least one step without help from anyone. Yey Olivia!
Olivia in her favorite spot- tangled in my legs!
Olivia about to take two steps for the first time
Not happy about the mess she made
Ready to party for new year's eve, her second party of the day
Okay now I'll try to post a picture and event each night!
