Haircut time!

Olivia did very well during her first haircut.  She sat in the airplane seat all by herself, didn't cry one bit (until the end), and didn't move her head too much. 

Notice the small ponytail.

Afterwards we celebrated with a park stroll.  It was a beautiful day.

12 months equals ...

ONE!

Olivia turned one a few weeks ago, and everyday I have been reminding myself everyday since.  She can pull up on anything, opens every cabinet (strangely interested in Paprika), walks with her little toy walker, and got her first haircut yesterday (officially haircut that costs money).

Mostly she steals our heart every day with her little smile (still toothless), her fuzzy head, her ability to understand and sometimes communicate, and morning cuddles.  When she opens the cabinet and wants to grab big bottle of air freshener and I tell her NO (very sternly), she takes back her little hand and looks at me with big eyes.  She is also going through that separation anxiety phase where she (finally) seems to prefer me to anyone (except nai nai).  I feels strangely validating.

Verbiage hasn't changed much.  S taught her to wiggle her tongue around and garble gibberish; it is the cutest thing ever.  She knows her nose and will point at it on command.  She also plays peekaboo and stacks little blocks.  She continues to wave goodbye when she wants go.  Daycare is working her transiting her to the next class and it makes me very very nervous.

A little cupcake on Feb 11 to celebrate turning ONE. 



A BIG party of Olivia the following weekend.  This cute pink cake was untouched.  (and the cake topper is an O for Olivia, not a zero)
