We just got home from a few days in Henderson. So that means we were in the car for a long time. Whenever we've been in the car a while she's a little stir crazy. Right now she's hurrying from one thing to the next, not really playing but just getting reacquainted with the house and getting her energy out. Another thing, whenever Lucy is crying Olive goes running to her and wants to save her. Love it.

Olive pays a lot of attention to her dollies these days. When she sees me with Lucy she'll often go and get her doll and we'll hold our babies together. Just now I gave her an empty bottle and she put it up to her baby's mouth. She's a little mommy. I love it.

You should've seen Olive in the pool today! She's just such a natural in the water. She'd stand on this step in front of Chris and then just walk into the water and go completely under. He'd let her "swim" for a second and then scoop her up into his arms, and she'd always come out of the water smiling and laughing. She's very good in the water.

I've mentioned a million times how much she loves music and how dexterous she is. Today when we were cleaning at the church, she climbed up and sat on the piano bench in the primary room and played on the piano. 

It's neat to start to see and speculate what her talents are.

(As I was just writing all this, Olive was taking a bath. I went in to check on her and discovered she had pooed in the water. Awesome).

Olive says "one" whenever there's anything involving numbers. Just now we were reading a book that had numbers 1-15 on each of its pages. As we turned the pages, she'd look for the number, point to it with her cute finger, and say "one."

Olive says "yummy" when she's eating. Another thing she came up with on her own.

Today she climbed all the way to the top of our pub height kitchen table. Yikes!

Olive has started to say amen at the end of prayers. Love it! She also has started wanting to be super helpful. Today she handed me a diaper when I was changing Lucy. And she brings me things and wants a big "THANK YOU!" So cute.
