Dear Samuel, Months 44 & 45

I totally forgot to do your month 44 so I am combining 44 & 45 and including TWO photo!

You are so much fun these days! You will randomly say to me many times, "Mom, you are cute!" I think you could say that a gazillion times each day and I wouldn't tire of hearing it! It makes no difference to me that the reason you say it is because I say it often to Olivia. It still makes this mommy's heart happy.

You love playing soccer at the YMCA! You scored TWO goals in one of your games and you got SO excited! I would love nothing better than to one day be an official "soccer mom"! Don't worry, there's no pressure. :-)

We went to Winter Park the other weekend and spent some time hiking and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Your favorite activity was looking for signs along the trail and throwing rocks in the river. You really love exploring. I look forward to many more outdoor adventures with you! 
I love you bud!
Love,
Mommy

Dear Olivia, Month 17

Seriously, another month?!?!?  You will be 2 before I know it!

You talk non-stop these days! You nod your head if you are saying yes and shake your head side to side if you want to say no. It is so nice to be able to communicate more with you and for you to understand what we say. You can say, mama, dadda, cat, hi, ball, dog, etc.

Whenever we go for walks, you only like to ride in the stroller for about half the time. The other half, you want to walk on your own.

You love stuffed animals and your dolls. You move them out of your crib so you can play with them for the day and then you put them back in your crib before bedtime. You want to take all of them upstairs and downstairs wherever you are. If we head upstairs, you try to get as many of them in your hands as you can. It can get pretty hard to carry you and all of your "friends" around the house.


I love you, Livs!
