Olive is now 32 inches tall and 23 pounds 8 ounces. She has 12 teeth, sleeps 11 hours at night plus a 2 hour nap, and eats just about anything. Even with all of her eating, she is losing her baby fat and looking skinnier (I'm not sure about taller). She continues to have breathing issues and we make frequent trips to the doctor. Luckily, she's a trouper and doesn't complain much about the inhalers. She is talking a lot now. I know a lot of people say the second child is late to talk because the older sibling talks for them. It seems like the opposite happened. Having an older sister introduces her to more words and she talks MORE than Hannah did at her age. Hannah has a stuffed zebra, so Olive learned the word zebra. Hannah likes horses, so Olive says neigh all the time. Here's a list of her words (that I can remember at the moment): mama, dada, sister (sisa), Hannah, Olive (Aw-wa), papa, baby, hi, bye, up, down, on, all done, more, no, hot (ha), blue, milk (ma), book (ba), ball (ba), sock (saw), happy, zebra (zeba), dog (da), owl, bee, apple, poop, night (nigh), moon (moo), sun (suh). She also does sign language for please, more, all done, come here. She has said some phrases like "up on Mama" and her favorite one "I don't know." She says this with arms raised in a shrug when we ask her a question.
Olive is very emotional. She is either super happy, giving us lots of kisses, and posing with her head on her shoulder to show off her cuteness. Or she is mad at the world when things don't go her way. There have been some biting incidents at preschool! She loves Hannah and copies everything she does...but she also gets upset and yells at her. Olive stands up for herself even with older kids. She is playful, smart, stubborn, and we love her a lot.
