Pat-a-Cake singing

Olive is such a cute little singer. She's at the age (just about 21 months) where the language really explodes. There are new words every day. It's great because what she can't communicate she has been better at helping us by showing us what she needs.

Anyway, this video is a couple of weeks old, but she is really good at singing Pat-a-Cake.  After I pull her out of the tub, I sit her on my lap and dry her with a towel.  While she's sitting there, she likes to take my hands and do the actions while she sings.  I love it!  Anyway, I got her to sing and do the actions while she was eating her lunch.  It's one of my favorite things to see her do.

Children at Play

Olive and her buddy, Evan, have been playing a couple of times a week. Here they are, having fun in the Florida room aka the rec room. I thought this was too good to not share.

"I Love You"

Olive is quite the little singer and it is awesome to see her vocabulary expand! She sings [most of] Pat-a-Cake, Winnie the Pooh, Elmo's World (and many other Sesame Street songs), and Skinamarinky Dinky Doo (sp?).  Here is a video of her singing it while she ate her lunch:

Little Fish

It has been really warm already, so we have hit the pool a few times. It's so fun now that Olive is more of a toddler.  We bought her this little flotation device and she has to keep her balance to stay afloat.  She learned how to do it really quickly, but didn't mind when she fell off-kilter. She loves the pool so much. She actually threw a huge tantrum when we had to leave. 

I took a little video on my phone.  It's so fun to see her laughing all the time.
