Olivia Tag!

My sister in law Jaime got tagged by another one of my sister-in-laws Michele. Then Jaime tagged everyone who wanted to do it. I think it looked like fun, so I'm doing it! And... it let's you learn a bit more about Olivia, so I'm choosing her. Scroll to the bottom to see if you're being tagged next if you can't wait, or read through and see at the end!


Name and meaning: Olivia Dalisay.
Olivia is of Latin origin and means olive tree...and the Biblical definition for olive tree is that it is a symbol of beauty and dignity. Dalisay- pronounced (da LEE say)) is Filipino, which is part of Olivia's ethnicity. It means innocent and pure. Beautiful name for a beautiful girl!

Age: 25 months

Nicknames: Livvy, Goober, pretty girl

Favorite activities: coloring, playing with blocks, playing with friends (particularly Damen), baths, going outside, reading books, playing with her babies.
Favorite foods: Grandma's macaroni, strawberries, bananas, grapes, bread, goldfish, fruit snacks

Least favorite foods: potatoes (takes after me on that one)

Favorite music: Ummmm...any music is her favorite. She loves it all, and dances like crazy! She is loving the songs they sing in Nursery and is starting to do the actions for a lot of them. I think her favorite song in there is "If You're Happy and You Know It...." And...hate to say this one but it's true, she loves the N'SYNC song, "Bye, Bye, Bye" since that is also one of her favorite words. Below is a movie of her dancing. It's a bit long, but way cute!

P.S. For those who don't know, you will have to pause the music that is playing to hear the movie. Also, anytime you double click on a picture, you can see it larger!

Favorite toys: Blocks, Little Einstein's piano, her Laugh N' Learn Home, babies, BOOKS, and the slide in her room.

Favorite book: Lately it is "Goodnight Moon". We have to read it EVERY night! I've almost got it memorized... She also loves her Dora "Boots" book, Bedtime Peekaboo, and Little Chick's new hat.Favorite item of clothing: shoes. She is all about shoes, and gets so excited when we put them on her feet!

What makes her happy: Seeing and playing with mommy, going "bye-bye", seeing Richard first thing in the morning, when daddy comes home from work, tickling, snacks, and putting on her shoes.

What makes her sad: when mommy or daddy leaves, when mommy can't hold her when she wants, when she doesn't get her way. She pulls this super sad face (I know some of you reading this have seen it) and then bursts into tears.

Here is also a movie of her showing me body parts as I name them. This is something new for her, and she is very proud of herself.
