Mom sent an Easter package with a stuffed animal lamb for Olive and lots of candy. Olive carried it (the lamb) around and called it baby. She sat on the front porch and put flower petals inside her EAster egg. It was so cute.

I said "banana -- ba" when I gave her some bananas at breakfast. She said "ba" back to me. At dinner I gave her some grapes and said "grapes -- ga" and she said "ga" back to me. Smart girl.

Today I asked Olive where her eye was, and she pointed to it. So cute. I hadn't told her that for a long time, so I was surprised she knew it. She's a smart girl. It's been a bit of a tough week, bringing Lucy home and having Rosemary here. I worry almost nonstop about Olive's feelings. To a fault, I'm sure I am projecting my anxiety on her - assuming she's sad or dejected when she's actually doing fine. She is a little more aggressive lately. But she's teething and we've had visitors and stuff. I'm sure everything will fall into place in the coming weeks. I just love her so much and want her to feel good.
