fffisshhhhh!

We have yet another "word." Actually we have several more "words" that Olivia is mastering. But the other day we went to the Denver Aquarium and Olivia started saying ffisshhh, when she saw tank after tank of fish! She was in Heaven. We thought she might enjoy it as she really liked the aquarium portion of the zoo. We were right! My Dad is visiting right now and so we thought it would be a fun day to visit. Unlike the zoo, Olivia was out of her stroller the entire time going from one tank to the next, ooohhhhing and aaahhhing at everything. They even had a little section where you could touch little starfish and some other creatures. Olivia was a little young for that as she was interested in splashing the water and she wasn't interested in merely petting the creatures, she wanted to pick them up, which is a little frowned upon.

It didn't take as much time to get through as we thought it might but that ended up being a good thing because she was exhausted by the end. She fell asleep before we even got home and we only live about 5 minutes from the aquarium! It was a fun time. Olivia really makes life so much more full and beautiful. It is priceless to see her learning, growing and exploring. You see things in a completely different way and it is so rewarding as a parent to give her new experiences and opportunites. Life is so much more fun with Olivia in it.
