watching the vacume cleaner


Just thought it was cute, I was vacuming.. and I promise it's done often enough for Alivia to have seen it before... but she was very interested in what I was doing..she followed me into each room!

new toy chest


We got a new toy chest for Alivia and my cousin Jen and I put it together all by ourselves... well, Jen put it together and I held peices in place while she worked! Go Jen! She's the best... and it looks wonderful, doesn't it?

playing with my old fashioned dolls!



See what I mean! :)


I got out my old toys that I used to play with when I was a child....and here is Alivia playing with my cabbage patch doll. I think she'll enjoy playing with them even though they are old fashioned! So far, all she likes to do is play with the dolls hair..which for Alivia means eating and tugging on. Maybe I'll get a break from the tugging for a while.
Well, Alivia is 9 months old today and looks like she is finally getting a tooth!! Yay! I can see it barely coming through and you can definitely feel it. I'm so excited.... except I know it's painful for her. The last few nights she has had a little bit of a hard time getting to sleep at night. But, once she's asleep she's fine. Thank goodness for baby orajel.

Bath time!

Alivia is finally starting to play during bath time and not just sit there so we went out and bought a bunch of fun bath toys. See how much fun she's having?
