6 MONTH OLD LIVI

ALL SMILES

This face just gets me everytime! I think bow days might be quickly fading into the past... sad day.

She has learned to take her bow off :(

My big sitting up girl!

SLACKER

I know I know... my blogging went to crap. My camera stayed in the trunk of the car and Josh takes it every morning so I forget to get it out and take some pictures.

I have some picture taking of Olivia to do. 6 months just came by to fast!

I could wait until her pictures are taken and her stats are out of the car to post what she's been up too, but I think we'll just do another post about those.

6 MONTHS!

Olivia how did this happen? I close my eyes for one second and you changed so much.

*You got her two bottom teeth in together 2 weeks ago

* Has a top tooth starting to work its way through.

* LOVES LOVES LOVES your Dad!

* Quite the roller. I can set you down far away from toys and you will get to them:)

* Working on sitting up. Wobbles, falls, but for the most part you can sit up.

* Got your funny bone in. Can make you laugh quite easy now.

* After finding Baby Orjel, Sleep so much better! wakes up at 4 to eat and then sleeps unil 8. YEAH!!

* Crappy eater. Nurses for about 5 min every 3-4 hrs and takes a few bites of food.

* The Dr told us to feed you more:) went from 56% to 32% in weight this last visit.

* Blows bubbles and spits like crazy! I love it.

* Does this old grandpa style smile:) I love it.

* Grabs my ears and pulls me in for the wettest, slobber filled kisses. I also love it!

* You still gives the biggest of smiles when I come in to your room in the morning, night, or after naptime to get you.

* Wants to eat what I'm eating... but not your food.

* Grabs and lunges at ANYTHING that is near. We walked by some lady in the store and like a flash you had hold of her kart and yanked us both back:)

* Went swimming for the first time and LOVED it.

* Loves being outside. You wont make a peep if we are out there.

* You like it when we call Dad and put him on speaker.

* Cousin Megan is high on your list of new favorite people.

* Loves when people come to visit us. Had a blast with Grandma and Grandpa Meacham.

We Love you little Miss. You make our lives better and church harder:)

Brian Head with Nick and Megan

We had so much fun going up to the Glausers Condo in Brian Head with Nick and Megan for the night:) I guess the one good thing about living here in Parowan is that people invite us up to play in Brian Head a lot more! 

The girls climbed and climbed and cuddled on Josh. He read them books and let them fall asleep in his arms:) I kinda feel bad now that Josh is around, I use to be the favorite! Even miss Livi will have nothing to do with me if Dad's home!!!

Of course this one is my favorite!

+1 TO VALENTINES

I really don't know what I did before this sweet angel came to me :) It is amazing what a day set aside for love does to you. It's not just for those who have a special someone to bring them roses and chocolates (which I do not prefer.... more later.) It's a day that we get to realize how lucky we are to have so many people in our lives that love us. This year was a +1 for me:)

I put livi in heart jammies the night before. When I went in to get her Valentines morning, I was greeted with the biggest of smiles and a little giggle as I picked her up! She ate Banana's (her all time fav food so far) and played the day away with mom..... no house work or dishes or laundry.... just Livi time! We took pictures and played with toys. I can't even begin to describe the hold this little one has on my heart. Her smiles, when I do something so simple as look at her or walk in the room, are priceless. She ate a Valentines dinner with mom and dad. Stayed up in our arms and watched a movie and played in the popcorn with us. Well, She did the playing, We did the eating.

Livi.... please always know that you mean the world to Dad and I.

Josh, that boy is amazing! He knows just how to make me happy. Knows that little notes and reminders placed throughout the house for a week before BY FAR surpass flowers and chocolate. And red vines are the way to my heart! As he puts it, " you are my everything"

Here are some pictures of our pre photo shoot!

ok... im ready for you to pick me up!

No? k then i'll try to get down myself

whelp... now I'm stuck laying here. Now what?

I KNOW!

I'll play with my new favorite toy!!

Love to all my family and friends! hope you had a happy day!

4 MONTHS

So I already took her 4 month pictures... but her appointment was a few weeks late.

Funny story about going into the Dr. I have been so frustraited that Livi wont do her mini push-ups he said she should be doing by 2 months. So about 2 min before I put her in the car to go to her appointment, I tried putting her down one last time to see if she would do it. Low and behold..... she did! I was so excited! Pick her up and its to the doctor.
Back note.... she rolled over once from her back to belly and will never do it for me again.
Go in and do all of her check ups.... he askes us if she's rolled over yet or did her push ups. I confirm the new addition to the push-up and told him of her one turn wonder. He told us that was unusual that she would roll that way first seeing how it is much harder. He proceeds to put her on her belly. NOT TWO SECONDS LATER she rolls over! Josh and I just started laughing. He flips her back over.... and BAM she rolls back to her back:)
Im so excited to get her home and practice some more...... not once in 4 days has she rolled over again. WHAT?  also she's getting less and less good at her push ups. ?. Ya I don't know. Maybe she's just a show off.....
