Happy St. Paddy's Day

Today is SUCH a nice day that Olivia was able to wear one of her cutest Spring outfits, which just happens to be pastel green (appropriate for the day). We took a picnic lunch to Daddy at his office. We were early, so we walked around outside and explored while we waited.

Here, Olivia is singing "Happy Birthday". She thinks it's just a regular song, like "Itsy Bitsy Spider" or something. It's also one of her favorites, so she breaks out in Happy Birthday on a regular basis.

"Oh, Mommy, look at all those steps over there. Can we climb them? Please?"

We took a little walk with Daddy to a nearby grotto. Olivia was sitting on Daddy's shoulders singing "Jesus Loves Me" for most of the walk. This is another of her favorite songs, but she usually starts singing it when she sees a cross or religious statue or a church. We don't prompt her...she comes up with it on her own.
In case you were wondering, Olivia's version of "Jesus Loves Me" goes like this:
Jesah Lahb Me, Ah-Ah know! Ah da Bah-Buhl teh mah sew!

The second line is a little harder to decipher. It mostly ends up sounding like "Ah-bah-bah" in time with the tune.

I'm ready for my close-up!

Playing with her new wooden toy from Fr. D.

The toy is a woman giving her baby a bath, and the arms go up and down when you move the paddle so that the hanging ball swings in a circle.

She hasn't quite figured it out.
