Happy 8mo birthday baby!
My baby is 8mo's old already! Where did the time go?!?!?
She is so cute and a funny little girl! She loves to mimic noises that we make, we mostly communicate in grunts and sniffs around here these days :)
As you can see from these pictures taking a picture of an 8mo old is getting harder and harder, look back to the pics of before she was mobile :)
Also, we never use the seat that she is sitting in anymore, but I do keep it out for her monthly picture, as you can see in some of the pictures she does NOT like to lay back like a baby anymore, she is big girl who can sit now! She is very good at it too!
I added the one of her stretching out because I truly feel that it shows how much she has grown, as you can see if you look back at her monthly pictures she is always in that same little chair.
Oh how the time goes! I was feeling sad a few days ago because I was feeling like I did not embrace her newborn stage as much as I would have liked (post partum depression and all). It goes by so fast, I am trying to just love up every moment of her life right now (some days are easier to do this than others) I do not want to look back and feel that I didn't love up all this time too! I see how people have more children it is so easy to forget all the trying times and only remember the cute little helpless being that was/is oh so sweet!
I love her oh so much!

Livi is possibly the smartest baby ever! ;)
Hello all!
Well, just an update, and possibly pics to follow....who knows, I am going off of only 3hrs of sleep last night so I very well might forget.
But, little Miss sure is getting big and old and talented! We started the baby puffs (I know it says not to start them until she is crawling....and no she is NOT crawling yet...Perfection takes practice) But her small motor skills and pincher grasp is exceptional! She can pick those things up like a pro....getting them to her mouth is another story...she would rather play with them in her hands for hours at a time :) Which is funny since everything else goes into her mouth...She also has a knack for opening the desk shelf and taking pens and pencils out!
She is not quite crawling, but she sure is good at practicing!
The other day she did say love you da da...Lance and I are the only ones who heard it, and the only ones who believe it but it is true....She also says ma ma and da da like a pro now! She also says a form of bunny once and a while, it sounds more like ba eeeee but none the less it is said :)
Back to eating, she is quite the eater! She loves to eat fruit, but veges not so much but will still eat them if fruit is somehow involved. Her favorite is prunes...:( yuck! I hate the smell alone of them! But, she loves them which is good since all the new solids have put a pause in her BM's and regularity. On that note, I never thought that I would talk so much about poop in my life before, and YES, I do work in child care, but this is just excessive! The other day Lance asked me how my day went and the highlight was that Livi had a normal poop....YES, that was the highlight ladies and gentleman! But, the prunes were not working so well, so I went out and bought some apple juice and prune juice (side note, I hate giving children juice...but you gotta poop too :) Well, I was unpacking the groceries and guess what happened....yes we got a normal poop:) But there were some tears involved (her not me :) I think that she just wanted me to spend money...Anyone have any tips on this topic please let me know
Well, enough about that...Still no teeth...I don't think that they will ever come in, which is bitter sweet...I am anxious for something new, but I do NOT want her in pain.
Sleep! She has been doing great! She will go down awake and put herself to sleep! Occasionally she will then wake up later and cry. When this happens at night we let her cry it out, and she always puts herself back to sleep within a matter of time, but during the naps she will sleep for 40-45 min and then wake up and not go back to sleep. (unless someone is holding her...then she will sleep much longer think 2hrs or longer) I am very frustrated and confused by this all.
She can sit very well unassisted too! She is quite proud of this new accomplishment!
So many exciting things going on in little Miss's life! Although I may be the only one who is quite so excited!

Daddy's little groupie part two
So I was wrong on the needing the baby sized guitar...who needs a house of two guitar players if we are gonna do it we better do it the correct way! Make an entire band! Livi got this awesome educational drum from her Auntie this Christmas and she just started playing it the other day and boy oh boy is it cute! She dances while sitting when the music part plays...
After taking this picture Daddy said that all we need is mommy to pick up the bass! HA HA HA like that will ever happen ;)
mother's day pics
