Olivia loves hats. This is a hat that I wish we didn't have but seems to keep reappearing. I think it was from a trade show so it has a company's logo and name on it. We don't wear it but Olivia has become very adept and putting hats on and off and has taken to this one. I do think it brings out her eyes, he he he.
Here is Olivia sitting on her Nina's lap. Joan originally wanted to be called Nana, but Olivia calls her Nina. It works. Olivia talks about her Nina all the time.

Finally!

I have been so overwhelmed by the amount of pictures and videos we have, that I have been avoiding posting. I am very sorry! Rather than trying to start where I left off, I thought I would jump in and post a video from Christmas morning. This is the only video we recorded b/c the camera was full. How is that for planning?

This video is Olivia's introduction to her 2nd Elmo. This is one of the tickle me Elmos and I think that she is slightly afraid of it! He does not hold a spot her in heart as does her first Elmo, also seen in this video. Her first Elmo used to be a back pack, I recently cut the straps off.

Ok, I have to do this for comparison. This video, taken back in Sept 07, shows Olivia a little over 1 year old with her then clean Elmo back pack. She has grown and changed too fast for me. I understand that Dora the Explorer says back pack alot but Olivia has not seen that show.
