It is 90 degrees F.!!! Nov 19th-2008

Let me have short walk!!











Olivia has always being worn by us and she still is. Today when I told her that "it is time to go out", She said" I want to carry uncle bear on my backback in the sling" .She hasn't got a baby sling yet ( I have been thinking to sew a baby sling for her for a while but not sure if she would use it or not :-)) .So I wrapped uncle bear with one of her baby time receving blankets that we used to use to swadle her :-))) She wore her bear all day long and seemed VERY hapy. I guess it is time to sew one for her aswell.

---------------------------------------------------------

I have been trying to get Oli's bans long enough that she wouldn't any more bancut.
So far we had it 5 times , 4 times by myelf and last one by hairdresser in Istanbul.
She hasn't been wanted me put anything on her hair. I am really glad that for the last couple of weeks she is letting me to touch them :-)) and I do my best!!!!


I beleive I will be allowed to play with them more after today's experience.She had a great time ( like ice -cream :-)) in front of he miror after I unwraped her hair to take bath.

You tube and the TUP




On the way to the Library





One of the best thing we have been doing with Oli is to visit different libraries.She is not that much interested in story times but likes the singing part of it.During Halloveen we happened to watch a magic show and after 10 min I guess Oli said to me let's go home and we left.A fews days ago she was talking to me about a "GUY picking up money frm little boy's ear and pocket" I tought that she hadn't gotten it !!

Oli liked the word of DVD-She hasn't watched any children DVD yet.At the library when I said Iam going to check the DVD's, she repeated the word many times by laughing.We intentionally don't let her watch TV either.The only thing she has ben watching is some nursery songs on You tube (10 min after breakfast)-Yes we didn't turn TV on when she was around as suggested by our Ped since now she turned 2 we may.

FUNNY!!!!---During our holiday in Istanbul in Dilek's house she sow he domestic type small LPG tank in the kitchen balcony and when Oli asked me "this one?" I said "TUP" shortly.Then whenever we opened balcony door she wanted to get her chair and locate herselg opposite of the TUP and stay there for a while.We figured out after a while that she thought it was You tube :-)).I think Dilek even has the picture of her looking at the TUP.

In love


Oli sow this sculpture few weeks ago and felt in love right away.That thay she wanted me to drive through it couple of times.At first she was scared of her because the sculpture is moving her (Oli calls her lady:-))arm up and down as if she is nailing something with the hammer.Then she said "Oli wants to go there again and be scared:-)).When we got there she was faiking it by holding her chest with a sigh "hih!!" and smiling.
Since that day we have been talking about the sculpture(It is displayed at the front yard of the La Jolla museum of contemporary art and a very big iron sculpture ),drawing her couple of times a day, talking what she might be hammering.Oli said "may be( on these days she is giving her opininons with "may be....." )she is nailing her head :-)))and loughing!!
Yesterday she sang Happy birthday song for her and even composed a specific song for her.

Today after the breakfast we went to see her again and Oli spend good amount of time in front of her with many "may be -----"

After that we visited sculpture garden of the museum..I guess I can take her to other museums now.When we were in Chicago I intended to take her to Art institude of Chicago Museum but couldn't do for some reason.I guess now it is time.

We spend great time together by starting with museum ,then recreation center( they betiful playground for her),and finalizing with a picnic at the beach.Our menu had
-Leek in olive oil(she ate a lot :-)))
-Cheese and bread
-Apple
-Pear
-Peanut and almond

Then we met a couple,lady is from France and I practiced my poor french with her.She was wearing a shirtd with Mike Mause on it.Oli pointed it and told them that "Olivia watching Miki Mause in dady's computer"

We came back to home.She didn't ask for meme until we get home.Last time at the beach she said"is this area for meme :-)))"by showing the lawn.

What are you thinking??


"Excuse me Mimi is this area for walking bare foot?"


Do I look like auntie Rossie again??


Oli wants to come here again


Is it a real bear??

Two years old!!!


We celebrated Oli's 2 years birhday at home as a family.I baked a cake with with Miyaww on it,baloons that she enjoyed a lot and didn't want us to take of for couple of days,her favorite happy birthday song and of course Panda.
I think Oli is really growing her language skills.She keeps amazing me for the last couple of weeks.It is fun to have a conversation with her:-))

On Saturday morning( Nov 8th) I was about to leave home for shopping.Oli was playing in her room.I sat down next to her and said"Oli I going to be leaving for the market and you are going to stay with dady.Enjoy your stay and have fun.I will be back in 1 hour"She seemed worried for a few seconds,then came to door and said"Mimi wear your shoes"I did and said by by Oli.She showed me two tumbs up and said "Good job Momy ,you are leaving by yourself"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( Had thought that she would cry since I don't leave her very often and she really doesn't want to leave me since we stopped midnight nursing and she has been sleeping in her room and bed for 3 weeks now)
Dhe was sooo cute I really wanted to capture that moment by video.
-------------------

Nov-8th

Oli is in her room and drowing with her Crayons.
Oli:Momy say What are you doing?
Mimi:What are you doing honey?
Oli:Drowing Santa Claus :-)))

---------------------------

Nov 1st

Oli: "Dady can we listen Muffin man ?" ( when Reha get to play a new CD"..

--------------
Oli is jumping on the sofa and I started singing "no more monkeys jumping on the bed:song to encourage her more.She goes"Not on the bed on the sofa":-)) What could I have said she is absolutely right.

Oli's favorite Turkish words in Turkey were allah-allah,kesinlikle,bitti gitti .
Now she likes to say
Ondan sonra sogan dogra:-))
Ne oldu mimi? Bisey olmadi Boncuk(me or wice versa)
Suna bak
Dady (or anything lost)nerdesin?
-----------------

Oli:mimi let's have a talk Mimi(inviting me sitting in the balcony together)
Me:Sure what kind of a talk ?
Oli:girls talk.
Mimi:Ok
Oli:Meraba-nasilsin?
---------------------

I will keep taking notes of our conversations here --I like it. She is fun for sure.
One more birthday picture here you go...
