You heard it here first folks, it may have taken her 16 months, but she can finally say "Mommy," clear as day. She has been able to say "Daddy" for several months but I was referred to as "Mmmmmmm" or "Mama" up until a few days ago. I was okay with her saying daddy, but started getting a little jealous when she was able to say, "Elvis" (this was the name of our Elf on the Shelf, for those of you familiar with that game) in December and still no Mommy. A few of her other favorite words:
Shoes (this was her first word ever spoken)
Socks
Daddy
Cole (but sounds more like Tole)
Cheese
Apple
Bye bye
Up
And lately she has become quite the little screamer. She screams about everything! If she can't get her shoes on/off, if she wants more of something, if she can't reach something etc... I'm not sure if this is a "second child" thing or a "girl" thing, but it's pretty annoying. I'm hoping it is just a phase she is going through because this girl has some lungs on her and is not afraid to use them!
As some of you know, we used to refer to Cole as "Cautious Cole" and our nickname for Olivia is "Olivia the Opportunist". That girl takes advantage of every little opportunity she can get her hands on. I swear she can hear me opening the pantry door from upstairs and comes running when she hears it, in hopes of her climbing in there and going through all of our food. She also loves the refrigertor. If I leave the door slightly cracked, she is all over it and her favorite game is to take all of the items (which are mostly condiments) out of the door and into the living room. She is also a climber and loves climbing on top of everything...the kitchen table, the counters, and lately she moves her chair so she can climb to the top of the couch and then she loves jumping off. She is a crazy little girl, I'm telling you!
