Dear Olivia,

You my friend are getting so big! You walk like a champ. It's been so fun to see you improve! You are pretty much pro now! I was so worried about having two mobile kids but actually it's made life easier! You and Bently get along so much better now that you can follow him around, and more importantly, run away! ;) Seriously the relationship between you two is adorable! I'm planning on writing a letter to both of you on that subject! :)

Now lets talk about breast feeding. I love breastfeeding, I do. But I was never one that wanted to breastfeed after a year. Bently stopped at exactly 11 months and I was just fine with that. You however, are more than happy to still be breastfeeding. Honestly I shouldn't complain, because it could be a lot worse. We only breastfeed once a day in the morning. But that's not really your choice. I think if it was up to you we would breastfeed every two hours like a newborn! (Okay maybe I'm over exaggerating!) You love to breastfeed though. You see me start to get ready and you start laughing and smiling up a storm. You love it! And it's pretty adorable. I'm planning on breastfeeding you as long as you want now. As long as we keep it to once a day, K?

You have a new obsession with books. You love them! The problem is, you are not very gentle! The main draw is turning the pages. You have destroyed 2 board books and 2 paperback books in the past 2 weeks. I want to put the books up, but at the same time I love that you and Bently have access to them! I want you to love reading! I want you to always have books around and in your life. Lately you have us read "Brown Bear Brown Bear" or "Bear Hunt" over and over and over again! Every animal you point out and scream "dog dog!" Every animal you see lately is a dog! It's adorable how excited you get over seeing dogs! :)

Other than that I am just enjoying being your mom! I love making you giggle! It is the most adorable sound in the world! It makes me smile every single day!

Love,
Mom
