Church Going Girl
We were approaching our church Tuesday morning on the way to my school and I hear Olivia say from the back seat "Father Son Amen". As we pass the church she starts whimpering and saying "Father Son Amen momma, Father Son Amen momma". Apparently, she wanted to go to chucrch. Oh, and now when she gives the sign of peace she says "peace out". I have taught her well.

This Bites
So, Elliot is finally starting to sleep through the night. In my universe that means stints of 7 hours or longer, though some of those stints still get me up at 3:30 a.m. He has managed to do this for the past 4 nights now. Ahh, sleep is again in sight.
Unfortunately, for the last 3 of the 4 nights that Elliot has been sleeping soundly, Olivia has ruined it by waking up more times than I can count, screaming and then refusing to go back to bed. With that said, we have gotten to the bottom of her screaming "no nigh nigh, no nigh nigh" and learned that she has a pretty nasty ear infection. I guess I would probably scream "no nigh nigh" too if I were in her shoes. It is amazing what 2 doses of Amoxicillin and a little ibuprofen can do.
Olivia tells us on a daily basis "it's my birthday". Apparently, she thinks this is a year round celebration. When Chuck told her his birthday was next week she looked at him and said "it's MY birthday". She also proceeds to tell us about the pizza and cake that she had on her birthday.
The other day Olivia was going through an old diaper bag and low and behold what did she find? One of her old binkys. She brought it to me in the kitchen and said "Elliot's bebe" as it looks just like his. I played along and said "oh yeah Elliot's binky". A couple of minutes later, I look over and in walks Olivia just sucking and sucking on away. I have NEVER seen her suck on her binky that much. All of a sudden she stops dead in her tracks, stops sucking and in an accusing voice says "MY BEBE"(Translation: how dare you keep this from me and then tell me it's Elliot's). Crap. So, of course I act like I had no clue and told her that we must have forgotten to throw it away with the others. I asked her if we could throw it away and she walked straight over to the garbage, opened the lid and tossed it in. Later, when Chuck asked her what she did with her binky (threw it away) she replied matter of factly "I schucked it" and walked away.
Elliot still just eats, sleeps, poops and grunts.

Shorty and Fatty
Olivia had her 2 year check-up last week and all is well. She is in the 50%ile for weight and the 25%ile for height. Apparently, it no longer matters how big your head is when you turn two, as I was given no %ile information on this. Anyway, she drinks too much milk, which I was told to cut back on. Who knew 32 oz. of milk a day was too much? She did have to get her finger poked to draw blood, which she absolutely hated, but other than that no shots. She will return in a year for her 3 year check-up.
Elliot was sick pretty much all of last week with the poops and puking. He was on a pedialyte diet for almost 6 days. He is much better now and back to sucking down 6 oz. of milk at every feeding. Elliot now sleeps in his crib in his room (he shares with Olivia). I must say that it is WONDERFUL that he is in his room now, as he was constantly waking me up with his grunts and loud stretches. He is down to one adjustment a week and is still responding well. His colic and gassy tummy is much better. The child is quite the chunk, as we can't fasten bibs around his neck anymore because his little neck is too fat and it literally cuts into his neck and leaves a nasty mark.
Olivia tried to come down with a head cold over the weekend, but fought it off and we only had one day of low grade temp, runny nose, cough and crabbiness. Well, the crabbiness is pretty much all of the time now, but what can you expect from a 2 year old. She can now count to 10 on her own, but only does it when she feels like it. She also sings the ABC's and you can completely make out what she is saying up to letter H. Then it just becomes gibberish. Olivia is very bossy and pretty much wears the pants in the family. Go figure.
