Nap time!
This is Alivia settling in for a nap. She used to just lay down and quickly drift off to dream land. Not anymore! :) Now it's all about standing, crawling, and looking around her room before she gets worn out enough to plop down and close her eyes. She eventually falls asleep... I don't put her in her crib until I know she's good and tired so it's only about 15 minutes of playing around before she decides it's time to sleep. She must be a child that doesn't require much sleep during the day because she usually only takes 30-45 minute power naps anyway.

my favorite
Friday, September 26, 2008
This must be my newest favorite picture. It's amazing to see how observent Alivia is now.. she now notices that we have a window near all her toys and she loves to pull up on the window sill and look out... and of course put her cute little hand prints all over the glass. Don't worry dad, I'll clean it up before you get here!

almost crawling
Here is a video of Alivia's attempt at crawling. She almost has it.. but it's funny to watch her move one "step" and then plop on her belly. I bet she'll be crawling by the end of the week!
summer vacation
So, I took a vacation to Michigan in August. Kevin could not come with me due to school so I brought my wonderful cousin Stephanie and 2 of her 3 kids, Salem (4) and Hope (2). So, on Sunday morning Alivia and I and Steph and her kids hopped into my new jeep liberty and headed up the road to Michigan. The trip up took us 18 hours!! Unbelievable... it normally takes 14 hours but obviously we stopped a bunch so the kids could stretch their legs. All in all, the trip up went ok... only 1 major meltdown from Salem (and then myself). :) The trip home was easier, we decided to get a room in Ohio which turned out to be a great idea. And, I have to brag... Alivia did absolutely perfectly the entire week! She's such an amazing baby! She slept well through the night the whole week and she really enjoyed playing with her 6 cousins all week. We really had a good time, it was fun to spend the week with our family.... and to enjoy the Michigan summer. The weather was beautiful. Kevin wished he would have been there with us.... but by next summer he'll be done with school. It was a blessing to be able to make the trip.
