Dear Olivia,
Happy birthday Livi Pie!!!! I can hardly believe it's been one year since you've entered our lives. You have brought so much joy to us! It is hard to put into words how much we love you! I could just sit and stare at your precious face all day long. You are so beautiful and have so much personality.
From early on we knew you were full of life and were ready to be one of the big kids. You would watch Cooper and try to keep up with him the best you could. You have been such an early achiever at so many things. Everything except for teeth that is (you still only have two). From the beginning I told your dad that you would be walking before you were ten months old. And sure enough you started walking just three days before you turned ten months. You had to... in order to try and keep up with your brother. Crawling just wasn't fast or good enough.
You are much different then your brother. Cooper looks at every situation and takes time to think about the best way to do something and why that would be best. You don't take any time to think about anything, you just go for it. Which is why you have flipped over in your brother's chair numerous times and head dived into the empty bathtub. We can't take our eyes off you because we never know what you are going to do next. And... you're really fast at it too! You have had many bumps and bruises and I expect for you to have many more. Although, I do everything possible to keep that from happening. You are just one busy little girl.
Although you are extremely busy you always have time to cuddle. You are so loving and sweet.
You don't cry much. Only if you are trying to tell us something... hungry, tired, etc.
You love Mickey Mouse which is why we are giving you a Minnie Mouse birthday party (Minnie just seemed appropriate). You think they are the same anyways.
You are so petite (tall... but petite) but you definately hold your own. You only cry when you are really hurt. There is no crying wolf around here. You're a tuff little cookie.
You love your brother. You try and wake him from his naps everyday.
You are happiest when daddy comes home from work in the morning and you get to run into his arms to greet him. I'm not sure who is happier, you or daddy!
You make me smile many times a day and I cannot wait to watch you grow up into a beautiful young lady (not too fast though)! Happy birthday angel!
I love you all the loves,
Mommy
