Well .. here we are again!!!! I really do suck at this whole blog thing!!! Last time according to my last entry I was 24 weeks pregnant with my third baby. Well .. she currently is 21 months!!! Olivia was born on the 1st November 2011 weighing 7lb !! She was the smallest out of the 3 pregnancies. She is our last baby .. so i've had a tough time watching her grow up into the gorgeous little girly toddler she is today. She was breastfed for 14 months when she self weaned much to my disappointment .. I was absolutely gutted when she showed signs of doing so. I tried for a week to keep her at the boob but she was having none of it .. so had to accept our breastfeeding journey was over. I loved every minute of breastfeeding her and will cherish those moments forever.
At 21 months she is very carefree and has no sense of danger at all. She loves to climb and jump off low surfaces if she thinks she can do it! She adores her older siblings and loves trying to join in with what they are doing .. even if sometimes they really don't want her to! Shes rather bossy and doesn't think twice in telling them off or shouting at them if they have done something wrong. She is our nightmare sleeper and in her 21 months of life can count on one hand the amount of times she has slept through the night. Thankfully when she woke it was just a case of feeding her and putting her back to bed and she'd go back to sleep!!
Shes a proper little chatterbox and understands so much! I love talking to her and listening to her talk back. Shes our best talker, all 3 of mine were good talkers .. but she is something else, her speech is so clear and she knows alot! She surprises us sometimes with what she comes out with! I will finish off with a most recent picture of Olivia :)
Update on the older 2 .. Ryan is now 9 and will be going into his 5th year of school in September. He loves going to school and does very well in his subjects. Hes very good at making sure his homework is done and we make a point of him doing homework and reading every evening. Hes getting to the age now where he wants to go out and play with his friends that are in the local area. We do let him .. but for no more than an hour or so and will only let him do so once or twice a week. Hes pretty good at keeping an eye on the time with his watch and will arrive back home at the time we state for him to come home.
I think he enjoys being an older brother to two sisters .. although he has moments when they do get on his nerves. But I know he adores them and he wouldn't have them any other way.
Chloe ... she is now 4 and is currently super excited at starting school in September. We made a special trip to go buy all her school uniform so she was pleased at that. She loved her time at pre-school and has made some wonderful little friends there and also made some wonderful bonds with the pre-school teachers. She is very pleased that her best friend from pre-school will be in the same class as her at school.
She is becoming so independant and loves to be a little helper at meal times or doing washing or any household chores.
She gets very excited over the littlest things which I absolutely adore about her. My dad says I used to do exactly the same thing as a child :)
I am very proud of my 3 children and watching them grow into 3 amazing little people. I certianly couldn't imagine my life without them and my husband!!!
