Happy Birthday!

Here is Olivia on her second birthday, March 19th. At least I think it was the 19th...could have been the 18th (I am horrible with dates and I have the 18th still stuck in my head since that was the date I was supposed to check into the hospital). Can you believe she is 2! and she is still the cutest baby ever, and still pretty petite, at least when compared to her big sis...don't tell anyone, but in the photo, Olivia is wearing the same dress that Annie wore on her first birthday!

We head for the doctor tomorrow for her yearly checkup, and just in time to show off her newly acquired bruises. Today she 1) fell out of the stroller and scrapped up her chin. 2) got her thumb crunched in the sliding door (thanks for that accident go out to Annie). and 3) dove head first of the couch.

Olivia has accomplished a lot in the last year...She's gotten a turn or two in on some skis (actually I think it might have been a total of 4 turns with the help of Dada) She is a great hiker and is constantly showing up Annie who would rather still be in the stroller. Actually, I'm surprised that she was even in the stroller this afternoon. She has an adorable(not) tendency to switch between being the most cutest adorable little toddler in the world and a devil-child. She is starting to talk up a storm and really enjoys cooking or mixing pancake batter or making smoothies. She will drop everything and run to the kitchen at the first mention of the possibility of smoothie making. She is still quite the independent Bav but is starting to enjoy spending more play-time (or is it beat-up-on-Annie-time) with her Annie. She still has her curly hair, big brown eyes, and our hearts wrapped around her pinky finger.

ps. Happy 30th Birthday Unkle John! I can't believe that you are finally older than me.
