trying to crawl

cute little grin

playing with a new toy

Alivia received this toy from some good friends of ours and here is the first time she has played with it sitting up. She even cracks a smile for the camera.

sitting up all by herself

Here's a new picture of Alivia Kate sitting up. She's getting better at it every day. Now she is even starting to learn how to keep herself steady by using her hands for balance when need be. She's so cool. And yes, we bought a new rug. We got rid of our coffee table becuase it was broken and now there is a lot more room for Alivia to play. Plus it matches the color of our couch perfectly. Back to Alivia, just look at how cute she is!

getting stronger every day

ready for bed

just for Mardi

This one's for you Mardi!! One of my favorite parts of the day is jammie time... when we get all comfy-cozy in our jammies and snuggle into the lazy boy eating our bed time snack. It's such a fun time and she's so adorable in these cow jammies! I love them.

getting ready for bed

Just couldn't resist snapping a shot of this cutie pie getting ready for bed.

She works so hard she is getting a little tired!

learning to crawl

Alivia is trying to learn to crawl. She doesn't have the hang of it yet but she is starting to get her knees up and even rock back a forth a bit. It won't be too long before she's cruising all around the house. Guess we better start baby-proofing! Again, I can't help but be amazed at how far she has come and how much she learns every day.

Alivia is sitting up!

I can't believe it but Alivia is now sitting up on her own. After a minute or 2 she'll begin to topple over, usually if she starts to really focus on a toy.

Up Close and Personal

Just look at that beautiful face!!!!

yummy... squash

story time

It's story time... but Kev is not reading winnie the pooh, oh no.. he's reading Alivia Allegiance Fort Sumter,Charleston and the beginning of the Civil War! As you can see she is wondering why in the world her daddy is not reading her a story which has a bear, piglet, kangaroo and a little boy as main characters.

just waking up

watching TV

This picture is hilarious! It makes me laugh.. I had to add it. Alivia is trying on a new pair of shoes for the first time. Actually, it's the first time she has ever had a pair of shoes on... and there must be something very interesting on that TV. I wonder what in the world they are watching!

dinner time

Dinner is so yummy that she tries to eat the bowl! She usually finishes every bite!
