The first thing Olivia does now when she wakes up is blow me a kiss. She puts her lips together, smacks them apart, and then smiles and looks pleased with herself. She started this a couple of weeks ago with my mom and step-dad and we have, of course, asked her to do it a million times since. This sounds silly, but the first time I saw her do it, it just amazed me. She's learning. I taught her something. How smart this child is!

This only begins to touch on how blown away I am by her new Patty Cake skills!
