Outside kind of day!!!

There is a children song that Oli likes a lot has a lyric like "outside going outside -it is an outside kind of day". Today was that kind of that and whenever I tell Olivia that "Today is an outside kind of day " ,she is getting prepared right away






Around 80 degrees by the end of January:-))) No need another reason to be happy.





Hard eating lolipop and walking all around the town .But definitely manageable:-))

Let's get some rest!!


This is the hardest part -Holding rails ,stepping down and finding mouth :-))




YUM -YUM. Let's buy it again.
Have a good weekend :-))

If big white shark bites me!!!!

For the last couple of weeks Olivia has been napping 2:5-3 hours in the afternoon which extends her bed time to 9-10 pm too. Before the nap time likewise to bed time we read 5-10 (after a long negotiation to keep the number 5 .Sometimes she is picking 1-2 books at the last point-She loves reading.We have been reading her since she was 2-3 months old ,which I believe could be the reusing of this love:-))) books then she is nursing while I am singing "you are my sunshine"then does to sleep. I feel free,happy and couldn't decide what to do in this 2-3 free hours.Yesterday I couldn't stop myself watching her sleeping with Nala and took one shot...




Then another one...



Then another one...


Then one more.....





When she woke up she pops up in the living room saying"I came .Look at me .Olivia got up and came here by myself (she means without crying and calling Mommy -Mommy in the bed).Yesterday she said"Look at me .I am walking in my sleeping suit and coming by myself" by smiling proudly:-))




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


OLI: Mommy ,when I am at the beach if big white shark bites me I will say her: Oh no white shark ,you bite me .How come??? ( by opening her hands both sides:-))

Oli's studio

Olivia begun enjoying her room (toys- books ) most importantly herself for the last couple of weeks.She is really having good time with them while I am cooking in the kitchen. I am hearing her talking to them -
Sometimes very polite:
-Panda ,could you hold Ashley nicely on her shoulder ?(Panda is always in charge of taking care of Ashley.Panda has her own baby panda though:-))
-Lala ,can you hold Ashley's milk please? Can you do that honey?
-Lion -can Emma sit here next to you? Is it okay for you?Himm is it okay sweaty?
-I want to read for you is it Okay?
-Mommy,Ashley is a girl .
Me:Yes Honey ,she is a girl
Oli:That's why ,she has to learn how to walk by herself(Soooo true !!! You got it very young Oli:-))
-Mommy,Ashley can't walk by herself ,that's why I am holding her hands
Since then Olivia has been trying to teach Ashley how to walk.
-Ashley ,you need to try.Look how we are walking .One foot in ,one foot out( Replica from teletubby book:-)) (while she is holding her dolly and making sure her feet touch the floor)
-Off Ashley ,you need to try ( I didn't like this part though,:-))Am I being soo pushy sometimes on Oli????)
It is fun to listen her talking to them and also is a good way to check what you have done so far retrospectively.She is directly reflecting of her pretend play.
She likes to talk about the genders and the general things such:
-Mommy ,sometimes cheese in French means yellow( I see that!!!!)
-Mommy- guys shave ,they have beard they shave.Girls don't shave (thanks to Reha for shaving time lessons:-))
-Girls can be pregnant.Goksu is pregnant with 2 baby girls
-Girls have vagina they pee :-))
-Men have penis ,they pee by standing
-Girls have MEME ( boobs in Turkish -))she sounds excited when saying meme)
-Sometimes cats pee and poo in the potty( Thanks to Nala for potty training).They don't wear underwear because they have fur.
-Mommy Ashley needs help
ME: Oh ya .What kind of help?
-(thinking for a while) She needs some help from Africa ( I guess Ashley is on the wrong way:-))
She came into the kitchen from her room and quietly said "Mommy look at my chicks! "
I first guess was that she colored them but there was nothing special. And I asked"I am looking Olivia.What do you have ?"
-They are like balls :-))))(she is holding them with both palms) (I am telling you she is observing everything .




- Look Mommy here.There is a cereal ( dry cereal must have been dropped during breakfast)




Oli: Mommy ask "what are you doing Oli"
Me:What are you doing Oli?
Oli:I am reading my friends here:-))
Me:Good-Do they like it
Oli:I THINK SO !!!!


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

Lot's of crafting going on in the room under the morning sun. Nala loves to be in that room too.


She is working hard on circles !!

I like this picture taken by Deniz.Sneakers ,red leggings along with the jean skirt.Looks little bit grown up :-))

I would like sew some for spring and summer.Need to buy some fabrics and patterns .Even some of them could match with Mama. Never tried but worth it I guess.

See you soon.

Sit DOWN!!!

It has been a long day for Olivia.She didn't take a nap today. Woke up early,has been very excited while waiting for Deniz to join us for breakfast.Olivia wanted me bake cupcakes that I did (it was yummy-carrot-wall nut-and cinnamon:-)). She loved them especially leaking the cups:-))

After the breakfast, taking pictures all around the house(this is what she is up to these days. It is really hard to take her pictures.She wants gets the camera and start exploring it.)







Let's take a shut of those pictures




--Everybody SMILEEEEE PLEASE :-))




Then couple of hours at the beach.

( Reha wanted to put his head on my lap which has immediately interrupted by Oli. Of course she prefers Daddy sleeping on her lap instead :-))


---Let's go home and paint

Tired but no napping at home

--Mommy pull up the chair let's prepare dinner together


Eventually she went to bed at 6:30 pm.woke up at 11:30 calling me.I went to her room( I am not going after bed time nursing just not to remind her BF but this time I did because Reha was asleep too)

Oli: Mommy-Mommy

Me:I am here sweet hard .I am here ( wishing she won't be asking for meme)

Oli:I want water -cold water ( This is what she wants from Reha at night)

Me: Sure( her favorite answer:-)).I will bring you cold water right away.

After I am back ith COLD Water,she drinks it at places sippy cup at the corner of her crib carefully.

Oli:Mommy hold Olivia ( whining)

Me: It is sleeping time honey,put your head down .I am here

Oli:Mommy ( she lays down) ,Could you sing "You are my sunshine?" (The song that I am singing while she is nursing at night by petting her hair)

Me: of Course

"You are my sunshine-My only sunshine-You make me happy-When sky is gray-You never know that -how much I love you -Please don't my sunshine away"

Oli:SIT DOWN( she wants me sing by sitting down on the carpet -not standing next to crib:-))

Me:Sure (I am sitting and keep singing.She is bringing her head to the edge of her crib and looking at my eyes.I keep singing .She is closing her eyes on and off)

Me: Olivia I am going to my bed now Okay.Sleep tight okay? Good night my baby.

She doesn't say anything and I leave the room feeling great.Putting her back to sleep without nursing :-))) I feel just great and also different.I thing she is going to wean out of nursing soon .VERY SOON .Our relationship will be different .We have been great time together I think I have to write our breast feeding story - love story that has been going on for 26+ months so far!!

Good night!!
