Let's try a video

Let's see if a video will post - here are Livi and Aaron again.

And they're off!

I thought I'd post a before pic... stayed tuned for the after. :)

Packing everything up

I should have taken this picture a few hours earlier - camping gear was everywhere! Robbie, PaPa, Uncle Jerry and Uncle Buddy are taking a canoe/camping trip to Canada. Robbie was so excited, he could barely contain himself.

He was worried about the bears. We told him that he didn't have to outrun the bears - He just had to outrun his uncles! :)

Her new favorite thing...

... is hanging her feet in the air! For some reason, this position is the one that Livi loves the most. She finds herself entertained by a toy or a smiling face and BOOM! her feet go straight up!

14 weeks old!

And she rolls and rolls.... she started rolling tummy to back a few weeks ago (I posted about that), but now she rolls back to tummy - which is much harder. She drools all day and constantly tries to put her hands, toys, etc into her mouth. We are wondering if she'll start teething soon. She reaches and grabs for items now - she hasn't perfected it, but definately makes a grab at everything! Livi is growing up too fast! :)

It was a great weekend!

It was so much fun to spend time with the whole family!

Playin' Hide and Seek

Grace and Brianna were hiding underneath the picnic table yelling, "I'm stuck! I'm stuck!" I thought the pic was too cute not to post!

Livi Swims!!!

well, not really - but she did have her first dip in PaPa and NaNe's pool this past weekend. She did well for the first 3 or 4 minutes, but it was nap time and she didn't last too long. That's OK - I'm sure she'll spend plenty of time in there for many more summers.

Six Flags Fun!

We had a fun day at Fiesta Texas last Thursday... Dylan joined us and rode his first roller coaster! Here are Dylan, Robbie and Emma waiting in line to ride Overboard! - I think they rode it 4 times :)

3 months old!

My how the time flies!!! My baby girl is 3 months old already. She has been busy rolling over, cooing and gurgling, playing with her hands and feet, drooling and sucking on her fingers. That's her favorite thing to do - her fingers and hands are in her mouth all the time! She has outgrown her newborn clothes and has moved into the 3-6 month group. Such a beautiful baby - we love her so much!

I'm not happy, Mommy!

This is the first frown I've seen on Livi during bathtime since the day she was born. Bathtime is ususally her favorite time of day - but this day Livi was trying to take a nap but was fussy with gas. So I got the great idea to try and calm her down with a bath. No good! She just wanted to go to sleep - The frown remained on her face the entire time. She wanted out! No worries, by the next bath the smiles reappeared and bathtime was fun again!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to Daddy, PaPa, and PaPaw! Hope your week is wonderful... we love you!

Livi and Addi

Livi met her new cousin Addi Akin last week at Aunt Jamie's house. Addi is 11 mos old and we're sure that she and Livi will be fast friends. Welcome to Texas Aunt Julie and Addi!

She was so proud of herself! Surprise!

Livi has started rolling a bit this week. I haven't made too big a deal of it, because its been mostly accidental. She sleeps on her tummy, so anytime she gets agitated there is potential for a roll.

So, while I was Ebaying this morning, Livi was napping across the room in her bed. She was being fussy and not sleeping very well... I kept having to get up and give her her binki, put my hand on her back, etc. Finally, she just started gurggling and cooing, so I stopped and watched her for a moment. All of a sudden, she just rolled right on over, looked me straight in the eye, and broke into the widest smile. She was so proud of herself - and she was so proud of the 'little' gift she left me! :)

11 weeks old!

Last week Livi was 11 weeks old! Time flies... she is getting so big - I sorta miss my little newborn. She barely fits on my lap when I'm feeding her :(

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Livi is a'rollin'! The first couple of times you think it was an accident... but she seems to be doing it pretty good now!

The Brave Ones

Here are the courageous helicopter riders!

50 dollars is 50 dollars...

... inside joke! NaNe finally got to ride in a helicopter! They had helicopter rides at Tom Tom and NaNe found a bargain. She and Emmalee and Katherine rode for only $20 each. I didn't get a good shot of her inside, but here she is exiting. Robbie, Trey Elizondo and I followed in the next helicopter. It was a fabulous ride!

Tom Tom Parade

Livi made her first Tom Tom parade this past weekend... she slept through most of it, but she was there! She didn't like the sirens and horns, but the rest of parade was fine. Here she is with her Great Aunt Bonnie holding her next to cousin Vicky and Homer!

Aunt Carrie and Uncle Clement are in the back...

Scary Movies with NaNe

NaNe has always had a bad habit of letting her grandchildren watch scarey movies, then sending them home with me to deal with the nightmares. :) She is now inducting Livi into the mix... here is the 4 of them watching Disturbia at her house last weekend.

Chillin' in her Bumbo!

We've started putting Livi in her Bumbo for a few minutes at a time. She loves it! She's upright and can see all that goes on.... but her head isn't quite strong enough to last a long time, so we have to take her out.

I've been lax on my posts recently. I had to go back to work for the last week of school and then lost my USB cord... I found it and so we're back online! Sorry for the interruption - I'll be posting several tonight to catch up!
