Goldilocks

Here's Liv, looking very fashionable as she ventures off to play with the neighborhood kids.

When Dirt is Your Main Ingredient

Bubbles Galore!

Lady O, what a bathing beauty.

Encore Performance

We were worried we'd never see a night of frenzied dancing again.

In Liv's World...

Liv loves to play with her dollhouse. For some reason, she always puts the dad on the toilet.

Highchair for Four

Olivia was a very gracious host to her friends and invited them to join her for breakfast.

She's The Ace of Cakes

Look at how amazing her cake turned out!



This morning we headed down to Lincoln Park Zoo to see Auntie Meghan compete in a cake decorating contest. We finished off the trip with a visit to Lou Mitchell's for some brunch. Liv was so pleased.

Gal Pals

Olivia looks 5. Esme looks hungry.

Liv was teaching Esme how to jump on the bed to "Miss Mary Mack"

Olivia and Esme are really starting to enjoy one another's company. They even got to take a bath together, and Liv gently washed Esme' tufts of fuzz.

It Should Be Illegal

To be this cute...

She's Fancy, Even For Bed

Every night we have a ritual of putting lipgloss on Liv (and her bunnies). Tonight Dad got a little out of control, as evidenced by the sheen in her hair.

Tis the Season

For Flipflops.

That Face, Those Lips!

I tried to get a pic of Liv's "make-up" which she told me she put on her eyes.

I can't see it, but look at those bird shoulders!

Isn't She Cool

Liv loves to snack and LOVES her new Minnie Mouse socks from Auntie Aimee.

The Perfect Mimic

While I was making dinner, Liv was doing her best to immitate. Except I wasn't cooking cheerios.

Barbie Wants Out

It's a community naptime, under the comforts of a dishtowel.

I Spy

Liv sneaking into the neighbor's yard to steal their wagon. And maybe their dogs.

Who is That Gigantic Baby

and why is she in Olivia's stroller?

Welcome, Spring!

There's something Goldie Hawn-ish about Liv in this pic.

Who knew sidewalk chalk could be such a great accessory?






Notice the annoyed look. Does she practice these in the mirror?

Those Adorable Snackin' Hands

Are at it again...

Her "Sympathy" Face

I was lucky enough to capture Liv's sympathy face, the one she pulls if she's just been naughty. As in, "I'm so sorry you have to punish such a cute small person like me."

When It's Quiet...

You can count on mischief.

Liv Loves

Babe


Plotting? Scheming?


Playing outside!

Cozy time

Don't you wish you were snuggled up right next to her?

What a view!

Curiously, Olivia loves to gaze out onto the mudpile that is our backyard.

Those Baby Blues

Ah, to have "eyes the color of a spring-time sky"

The Disciplinarian

Liv isn't a big fan of time-outs for herself (who is?), but she won't hesitate to give one to a misbehaving buddy!

And All is Right with the World

When Liv behaves around Esme, and Esme is feeling better!
