So, our baby girl turns 5 today. Happy day for her and a sad day for me as I realize that we are that much closer to starting school. The past 5 years have gone by in a blink of an eye. We love her so much. I did okay with Logan's birthday, but Olivia is turning 5. David and I have been together for 13 years and I think in 13 more years she coujld be moving out, finding the prince of her dreams, and she will be gone like Cinderella. Ahh...tears.
She is such a bubbly joyous child like her aunt Lisa. I see so much of her Aunt Lisa in her. She is so happy and is loving life. She aims to please and does not like for anyone to be upset with her. She sheds huge waterdrops from her deep blue eyes if she thinks someone is unhappy with her. She is also a little mother hen, that my mom says she gets from me. She is very attentive to her little brothers. She always sees to their needs. Not to say that she doesn't also exhibit sibling aggravation towards them as well.
We celebrated her birthday over the weekend. Saturday she went with Mammaw and I shopping. We had to go look and see what she wanted for her birthday, as I jad not had time to get her presents yet. i had no idea what to get her. We went to Chick Fil A, her and Nanna's favorite place to eat. She likes it because she turns her kiddie prize in for an ice cream cone all by herself at the register. Then we headed to Little Rock to the toy store, Target, and Wal-Mart. Nothing seemed to really catch her eye at the toy store but she found several things at Wal-Mart. Yesterday we did her little celebration with family. Her and Logann are racking up on parties this year, as they will have their party party on the 16th of this month. She has requested a Princess cake, again.
Here are a few milestones for Olivia:
She cut her first tooth at 6 1/2 months
Her first word was Dog and Dadda
She started walking at 11 1/2 months
She went on a cruise and visited other countries when she was 12months
She became a big sister when she was 2
She became a big sister again when she was 3
She started Day School this year at one of the local churches- and she loves it
She will start school this fall and will be attending First Academy Lord willing
And she became a big sister again on December 25, 2009 and cannot wait till Leia is home
Olivia loves going to her Mammaw's house every week. She wishes that she could go even on the days that she goes to school for a couple hours. She loves to go see Grandma and play pretend with her when she is at Mammaw's house. She loves to paint with Mammaw and sing with Mammaw. She loves to cook and shop with Nanna. She loves to ride the mower with Pappaw and Papa. She alsoo enjoys fishing with both of them. She will do anything with them to spend time with them. She loves to play chase in the house with Daddy just like her brother. And she loves to help Mamma in the kitchen and loves our "buddy days" when she and I go to town by ourselves.
She can't wait to be a big sister again. She we will finally have another girl in the house. Last night Daddy told her Leia was going to share her room with her and she said that Leia would wake her up. Daddy asked her if she was going to give her her pacifier to help her go back to sleep. And she then informed her Daddy that she would need "a quiet stool that I can climb on to give her her pacifier so she can go back to sleep." Daddy told her he would find one for her...lol.
Olivia's favorite food is Macaroni and Cheese which she requested for our little family party yesterday along with mashed potatoes and bread. She is her daddy's child. She askeed for chocolate layer dessert. She thought it was all very yummy and ate lots.
Her favorite toy right now is barbies and her new baby doll that cries and laughs. She has gotten so many new things for Christmas and her birthday that I don't know if she can truly decide that one. Aunt Lisa and Uncle Aaron got her a kiddie camera and Ariel cd, Pappaw, Mammaw, Nana, and Papa got her and her brothers a playground his fall, Grandma and Papa Bob gave her money, and Mama and Daddy got her a new baby doll, barbie clothes, a barbie car, baby clothes, and the movie Mulan. Oh, and Nana made her this beautiful Chandelier for her and Leia's new room.
Her favorite movie is Star Wars. What can I say, she is her daddy's child....again.
She is planning on going to see Mammaw this afternoon because Leia's adoption papers just arrived and Mamma has to go to Little Rock. We weren't expecting those til at least the middle of the week. Good thing we celebrated her birthday this weekend. And as you all know she has been fervently praying for snow. And it was snowing beautiful flakes for her birthday. She told me God did that just for her.
