Livy's 6 month update!

      Livy has truly been a joy since she arrived. She is growing big and is always bringing us new surprises, mostly good, but sometimes bad. She has recently had a few colds the last few months and was just put on antibiotics because she had a double ear infection, but overall the trip so far has been easy.
       Her new thing is when she wakes up, she pulls the bumper down and looks at me through the crib and smiles, it melts my heart! I think she is also getting attached to me and I love it, I love knowing that I am the one she trusts and hopefully feels safe with. She is also a very determined girl and when she makes up her mind it is hard to stop her.
       She is starting to become a very vocal girl and says DADADA all the time. I swear she tries to sing with me and knows what I am singing about. She starts to light up when I start..."I love Livy she loves me.." I am so glad she has a love for music and she is already touched by primary songs. Her favorite song when she goes to bed is, "I love to see the Temple."
        She is sitting up, getting almost up on all fours, and rolls like crazy to get all of her toys.  She spends a lot of time in her bouncer right now as well.  She just bounces away and will stop and make sure you are looking and then continue to bounce.  She has started crying when I walk away which has made me feel so important, I Love it!

Livy Loves her grandma and spents quite a bit of time with her.  My mom has really been a life saver and is always wanting to watch her and spend time with her.  I have had to work a little more than we wanted, but everything has turned out ok, because of her.  Love you Grandma Michele!

  She has been loving her little Tigger and Toasty Bear.  She lights up and reaches for it when she sees it and pulls it in to hug it.  I never thought she would love these stuffed animals so much, but they are definately becoming her best friends:

We started cereal a little late, because the doctor said it would be smart to do, because of all her food sensitivities.  Here is how it went:

Mom... This chair is fun-Bring on the rice cereal!

This texture seems a little weird, but I will try it out.

Are you crazy mom? I would rather eat my chair than have this stuff!

First time with Squash and surprise surprise... same reaction!

We will keep trying, but as for now she is enjoying her momma's cream instead.  She is sleeping 8-10 hrs at night, napping well, chunky & happy as a clam...so I don't worry too much about it.
