Liv's new Big Girl Room!

We're not sure it's going to be an easy transition, but we figured that we'd give liv a new big girl bedroom instead of re-doing the one she was in since it was so gender neutral, so here are our pics of the new room, we've been playing in it every chance we get so she'll get used to being in there, we still need to add some room darkening blinds and the bars for the stupidly low window (my bone of contention with builders!!!) and then we're ready for her to move in. She really likes playing in her tent and getting on and off the bed and so we hope she'll take to it quickly...hopefully!

Dog Torture

I couldn't help myself, liv's clothes are the perfect size for the dogs. When we put her shirt on becker he wouldn't move, he wouldn't even take a step. But gimli seemed ok with her jeans! LOL.

A Trip to the Zoo

A couple weeks ago we had Cy's company's year end party, it was breakfast at the zoo. It was liv's first time, she LOVES the animals, we're going to have to get some passes for this summer for sure.

First Steps!!!

Olivia took her first steps today! She's been standing up and waving her arms for a couple weeks but no steps. But today she walked from me to the ottoman and then was going to walk from daddy to me but the dog got in the way and knocked her down lol. We were so excited and shocked that we didn't even get a chance to take pictures! So hopefully we'll have some in the coming days.

Bad parenting judgement, but funny!

Ok, so not very good parenting, but funny. Liv is ALWAYS trying to help us do the dishes, and the other morning she got so into it that she crawled up onto the dishwasher door. From a parenting perspective I know it was dangerous, but we couldn't help but take a couple pictures and laugh while she did it, then told her no, it was dangerous and never to do it again LOL.

Mmmmmm Pudding!!!!

Olivia had her first taste of chocolate pudding the other day, she even tried to feed herself (hence the huge mess!) She had so much fun smushing it between her fingers and painting her face (and the entire kitchen when she dropped the container on the floor, pudding splatters, did you know that!!!) Anyway, we had lots of fun watching her get some of it into her mouth but most of it on herself and the highchair!

Silly But Flexible!

One morning during breakfast olivia decided she she would try out her flexibility skills. I"m still not sure how she did it but she sure thought it was funny!!!
