A Trip Down Memory Lane...

Lately I find myself looking through all of Liv's old pictures, and it always amazes me how fast she's growing! These are some of my favorites of our blonde beauty.

Progress!

Our countertops were installed today. Very exciting! We picked Soapstone, and really love the way they turned out.

Snow Bunny

Liv and I played outside for a bit this morning, just in time to enjoy the last of the snow. At first she was a little hesitant - but then Liv warmed up to the idea of being out in the cold. I had to bribe her to get her in!

Yowza!

Here's Liv's surprise face, at it's best.

Their Little Piggies

Delicious!

Cozy Cousins

We had a lot of fun visiting Esme today. She is so sweet - and loves having Liv around. At one point Liv tried to pick her up - thankfully to no avail.

La Ti Da

While we try to limit TV for Liv, she does have her favorites - one of them being Yo Gabba Gabba. She was so into the show that she even let me put her fancy hat on her.

Nothing A Little Make-up Can't Fix

The other day was not a good one for Liv - she just wasn't herself. But putting some blush and lipgloss on helped. Her cheeks look delicious, don't they?

You Say Tomato...

Liv says "not really."

Little Peanut

Welcome Sweet Braeden Thomas (born to Talia and Anthony on Monday). He will be so loved!

When Pedicures Go Bad

Liv let me paint her toenails, with little success. Somehow I don't think she minds the results.

She Doesn't Even Know It's Fake

Olivia loves music (what toddler doesn't!) and has taken to "singing" into her microphone. Last night she got so carried away she went running and then took a bad tumble. Thankfully tonight was more subdued...

Let Me Translate

What do you want me to do about it?


Signaling a "Monster" is near

I know I want something, I just don't know how to ask for it.

It's The Little Things

Olivia's Nana works at Neiman Marcus at the Bobbi Brown counter - which means Liv gets her fair share of lipgloss! What's most exciting, though, is getting to put on Nana's nametag when she comes home from work.

Almost Home Sweet Home

Liv and I were at our house today, checking up on the work. Some of the men are older, off-the-boat Irish rugged types - and when Liv sees them she makes her "monster" face. Let's all hope they don't catch on.

Just Another Naked Night on the Dance Floor

Ah, another performance by Olivia. It all starts innocently enough, with a fully clothed Liv giving subtle hints that she's in the mood to boogie. It then progresses into a nude dance routine, where she pulls moves that seem more suited to a teen than a toddler.

Enough Already!

Poor Liv, she can't even eat a decent meal without being stalked by the camera. Here she gives a warning look, and then "the look" and as a last ditch effort, covers her face.

Liv and The Boys

Today Liv had a visit with her friends Nicholas and Seamus Keough (after she promised improved behavior over last week's playdate). There were some minor run-ins but overall it went great. They loved snack time, and it seems like Liv might have been putting the moves on an unsuspecting Nicholas. Notice their look of wonder (or fear) at Liv on the couch - who is this giant girl?

Edible Babies

Liv and Esme got to hang out last night, what fun! Sweet Esme had a bit of a fever from her shots, but she was a good sport to pose for this pic. They're so cute I could (and do) bite them.

She's Fed Up

I think it really annoys Liv when I get her up from her nap with my camera. But I can't help it. I love capturing her in whatever mood she may be in, messy hair and all.

She's a Maniac....

And she's dancing like she's never danced before! Liv loves herself a good boogie, but boy did she let loose tonight. It was as if she had saved up all of these fancy dance moves for us. We put the 80's music on, and off she went! There was a lot of high steping, hand waving and hip shaking. What a riot!
