Vroom, Vroom!

Livie and Daddy thought this was the greatest game in the whole world! Dave would push and drag Livie around in this tupperware. They had to stop only because Daddy's arms were getting tired! Livie would have loved to do it all night long!

Shh. . . Livie's Sleeping!

We had a rough night last night. Livie had a bad dream and she wouldn't let me lay her back in her bed. So she ended up sleeping with us for a few hours. This morning, I got out of the shower to catch Livie and Daddy sleeping like this! I couldn't resist snapping a picture!

Last week, I laid Livie down for a nap and she went right to sleep. Or so I thought! When I went upstairs to put some things away, I could hear Livie playing. So I gave her some time to fall asleep on her own. The next time I went up to her room, I found her like this with her socks off and tossed out of her crib and onto the floor!

Livie's New Doll House

This is Liv's new (actually my uncle gave it to her because his daughter is too old for it anymore) doll house. This picture doesn't do it justice! There is actually an attic above the third floor! Livie loves to rearrange all of the furniture! Word to the caution, if you ever get wood furniture, it really hurts when one is dropped on your foot. It bruised the top and sole of my foot! This summer I am going to work on repainting the entire thing, inside and out! It will be so fun to match it to Livie's room and be able to decorate the inside!

St. Patrick's Day

Ok, so I know that this isn't the happiest picture, but it was a rough day. I tried all day to get her to be happy, but she just wouldn't. Dave and I couldn't figure out why she was so upset. Two days later, Livie's first molar broke through. Guess there was reason for all the grumpiness!

George

One morning, Dave and I let Livie watch PBS because her favorite show was on, Curious George. Livie started watching George with cousin Allee and now she loves him. She will not watch anything else! On this rare ocassion that I let her watch it, I thought she looked cute watching George so intently, I had to take a picture. Allee even taught Livie how to say George. And if you ask her where he is she will point to the TV.

Winter Fun

Welcome to Utah: home of crazy weather! Just when we thought spring was on its way, Mother Nature pulled a fast one and dumped 1 1/2 feet of snow! We have taken Livie out to play in the snow before, but she always hated it! She would cry and reach for us if we tried to set her down. Monday morning we looked out the window and I explained to Liv that it was snowing. She looked at me, then pointed outside and said, "No! No!" That is her way of saying snow. It sounds a little different than no, but I had no idea how to type it! So we all bundled up to go out to play in the "no" and what fun we had! Livie actually liked it! Her favorite part was eating it! Dave would make large snowballs and set them on the ground in front of Livie. Liv would then proceed to pick up each snowball, inspect it and put it back down, if it wasn't the one she wanted. Once she found what she was looking for, she would eat it until the ball broke or her mouth and nose had turned purple!

She also liked to pat the snow until it stuck to her mitten. She would show us all the snow on her hand, then straight to her mouth it went! We all loved playing in the snow! I guess something good did come from all that snow!

After playing in the snow, we all went into the house and I made hot chocolate. It was Livie's first time having it and she loved it!

Daddn

A few weeks ago, Livie started calling Dave, "Daddn" I think she is trying to say daddy, but it is so cute, I don't want to correct her! She will still say dada, but usually uses daddn. I love it! It is one of Dave's favorites too! I was finally able to get it on video. Listen carefully because she says it at the first and we tried but couldn't get her to say it again.

Pigtails!!!

I decided one day to try something different with Livie's hair. She does such a great job holding still, so I thought I could do pigtails! Sure enough, her hair was able to fit! I had cut her hair a few days earlier and now I'm wishing I hadn't! I love the pigtails and Liv thinks she looks great, too!! It makes my baby such a big girl! I was almost in tears.
