About my daughter

[Rÿcher]

I'd like to introduce you all to my daughter Olivia. She's just over 15 months old now. She's the love of my life, the apple of my eye, my pride and joy.

This is her on her first birthday party

Right now, she's getting the hang of walking. I guess you could say she's toddling. Her favorite word is "no". Ask her anything, she'll say "no". Not sure she really knows what it means.

"Want to take a bath?"
"No."

"Want a cookie?"
"No."

Some of the other words she uses which she identifies an object with are; shoe, puppy, ball, tree, kitty, bubba, bow, light, blue, mumma, dadda, butt, water, phone, juice, cracker, cookie, chip, toast, remote, foot, nose, head, mouth, eye, ear, daddy's beard, chin. When we say "bop" she'll take her hand, fingers extended and lightly tap herself on her head and say "bop". If we say, "bop daddy on the head" and I as daddy offers her my head, she'll bop me in the head.

She can follow simple instructions like "push your arm through", "lie down", "let me see", "can I have that please" usually to which she'll say "no".

thanks for reading

Very cool, just wait till your kid/s are 10... thats where my son is... he wears me out!

Wonderful! The always "No" stage can be a trial to get through, but it gets very funny at the end when they realise they have other options for answering. My daughter still gave the reflex "No!" then would think and say "Actually, yes." Made me laugh every time.


Little dudes are awesome

Cute kid. Looks like she's bopping herself and saying "no" to having her picture taken.

Adorable. That is a great age.

You're so lucky! I'm so jealous!

Enjoy these days, they fly by. I have a colleague at work who had a baby girl a couple of months ago, and he laments that the "newborn" phase passed so quickly he never got a chance to enjoy it for what it was (he was too tired from the 2am feedings ). You have to live in the moment, as a parent.

Cheers, she's a sweetie!

That is one cute little human!

Her next words will be "Dad, I need the car" and "Dad, its MY LIFE!"

Mine are 29 and 24 and it is still a ride watching them grow.
