Olivia is such a happy girl. She loves to babble and talk in a dialect we think resembles some form of Korean. She loves any and all music and dances as soon as a song starts, even if it's just from a commercial. She'll even dance to the beat of our unbalanced washing machine! She loves to give hugs and kisses and cuddles all her stuffed animals. Olivia is good at following directions when it's time to clean up, get dressed or put on her shoes. She definitely knows what she is not supposed to do or touch, and will turn around and look at us before touching something she knows is a no-no. Oftentimes she will also wag her finger no at us since she knows that's what we're about to do. It's hard not to laugh when we see her telling herself, us or even Lucy no. She is very loving to her sister and loves to hold hands, give hugs and kisses and play with Lucy. She is usually quite patient when Lucy steals her toys or books, but has started to hold her own and take off and run if she really wants to keep something. Olivia loves to stack and sort toys. She definitely has a her own wonderful personality!
Lucy is a ham. Though she acts shy and clingy at first, she loves to show off. She is coy and makes the greatest faces. She knows how she wants things and gets upset when something is not where it should be or will not cooperate with what she wants it to do. She is busy nearly all the time she is awake and rarely takes time to stop and rest. Lucy loves to sit in people's laps and have books read to her. She loves to stand and climb on all her toys and the couches. Lucy is not swayed by us telling her no or not to touch something. She has discovered the cable box and the buttons on the side of the tv and has on numerous occasions turned one or the other or both off. She laughs when we get serious and tell her no. She loves her pull and push toys and instigates almost every race the girls have around the house. Lucy loves to play with her sister and is constantly smiling, laughing, or chasing Olivia around the house. She will share when we ask her too but is still pretty aggressive about taking toys away from Olivia. Lucy is very observant and is the first to notice when we leave the remote control or computer mouse within her reach. We can't get anything past her!
My favorite "trick" they have is getting rags out of the kitchen drawer and dusting items throughout the house. I don't remember the last time I had to dust the kitchen chairs or table legs! Both girls are still afraid of the vacuum but love their little toy vacuum. Hopefully we can nurture their love of cleaning for years to come. They are both great eaters, drink lots of milk and love to feed themselves. They're pretty good at it too! Overall they're well behaved, happy and playful little girls. We love them so much and can't wait to see what the future holds!
