Month TWELVE :)

September and Your Birthday!!! You're already ONE!!!!

You have always been such a joy, Olivia. You bring sunshine into the lives of all those who have the blessing of knowing you. From before you were born, we knew that you'd be a special, strong, wonderful little girl! You have far exceeded all expectations I ever had of who you might be. I can't imagine that Heavenly Father has entrusted me with someone as special as YOU! Thank you for being my daughter. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for you, peanut!!!

Here are some things that you've accomplished by your 1st birthday:

• You can walk forwards and backwards
• You run :)
• You (sometimes) say, "No no" "Hi!" "Num num" "Dada" "Mama"
• You can sign "please" and "more"
• You can clap when asked to clap and when you're really excited!
• You can dance like it's your job!!!
• You can blow kisses
• You can wave hello and goodbye
• You fold your arms when we ask you to :) This is by far your cutest "trick" :)

• You recognize Jesus and you will wave to the painting we have of Him on our wall at home.
• You can open Mommy's wallet.... already. We're in trouble :)
