I keep forgetting...

I keep forgetting to take pictures at Kindermusik. Olivia is loving it, and today I brought the camera, but forgot to take it out. Olivia likes watching the other babies, and today she was very adventurous. She crawled after the boy who sits next to us, Henry, and tried to catch him by pulling on his pants. His dad thought this was funny. Olivia then evaluated the dad, and at the last minute decided not to try to take off his glasses (the way she does to Daddy). We are learning signs, singing a lot, and having a great time! Olivia hasn't signed anything yet, but the instructor said to be on the look out for signs that aren't quite the sign, but she is trying to use them. I am supposed to do "hand over hand" and make her use the signs before giving her something. Like making her use the sign for "more" or "eat" when she wants that.

Olivia is honing her "m" sounds. When she crawls over to me and wants me to pick her up, she is starting to say "meh." This is often in frustration, so I am not sure if it is really the start of "mama" or not. I am thrilled, though!!!

I have run out of space on my computer, so I can't post new videos until Nicholas moves some things off of it. Soon....I will post some crawling videos. She's really good at it now, although she seems to be moving onto wanting to pull up and climb things. She climbs over me in the rocking chair and gets on the side table and she climbs up me to get on the ottoman. She tries climbing things without me, too. I can see her bend her knee and try to figure out how to get it up on whatever she is hurdling. She is standing a lot, too. I think she will be an early walker, like her dad, even though I am not looking forward to all the inevitable tumbles that usually accompany early walkers.
