A Good Listener



These last couple of months Olivia has become really good at understanding everything that is going on. I really feel like she almost understands every single thing I say. She can successfully complete any task given to her, putting her dirty clothes in the hamper, closing doors, finding the phone, taking out the garbage, putting her toys away, selecting the books she wants to read, etc.


She has really become good at prayer time. Whenever I say it is time to pray she immediately stops whatever she is doing, folds her arms, bows her head and after the prayer she says amen. Sometimes she even tries to say the prayer along with me.


When I call Matthew at work to tell him something cute Olivia has done, she will often reenact the event while I am telling the story to Matthew.
She is growing so fast, it is so much fun to spend time with Olivia!


Grandma Mary comes to visit

Grandma Mary came to visit Olivia a couple of weeks ago.

All of these wonderful Lambert family trips we have had this summer sure have helped Olivia get to know her extended family better. Olivia remembered Grandma Mary as soon as she saw her and they were great friends the whole time she was here.

Olivia enjoyed going to the park with Grandma Mary, reading stories together, and Olivia even wanted Grandma Mary to hold her hand as they walked down the street together. It was a great visit and we were all sad to see Grandma Mary leave.
