Livi - 6 Weeks!

Well, Livi is now 6 weeks old! I was sick, so no pics to show for the actual day she turned 6 weeks. :( I'll make sure to get some this week :)
We are looking forward to Christmas with family - we'll be in Columbia with Matt's family, then off to GA to show Livi off to my family (many of whom have not met her yet!) She'll get to meet her ONLY cousin, Mason and her Aunt Merrill and Uncle Matt :) We can't wait to meet their 2nd child, Baby M, but we'll have to wait a little while longer for that!
So much to be thankful for this season - many blessings! :) More later...

Livi finally got a swing!!

Yay for Livi! Mommy and Daddy finally decided to get that swing she's always wanted ;) We're thinking of it as an early Christmas present...for us all! Now Livi has somewhere to sit other than our arms, her crib, or bassinet! She loves it! Today was the 1st time she sat in it and she didn't want to get out! She also shared the experience with her friend, Bunny!

They even shared a few secrets as captured below...

5 Weeks!!

Livi is now 5 weeks old! We celebrated by going out to dinner with a few of our friends! Livi is doing all sorts of fun things - she's kicking like a soccer pro, grinning (even at people other than me or Matt!), and just reacting to life in a whole new, more alert way! It's so fun to see her learn every day - it's amazing!

Here's a picture of my 2 friends, Laura and Allison (who are both expecting!) Laura is 8 weeks along and Allison is 17 weeks along...then Livi is 5 weeks-old :) We were missing our other Sunday School friend, Stephanie, who is 30 weeks along! Our SS class has changed A LOT in the past year!! :) What a blessing!!

1 Month Old!!!!

I cannot believe Livi is 1 month old already! Time is flying by! She is growing like a weed - the last time I weighed her she was 8 lbs 6 oz and she is also 22 inches long! She's beginning to smile at certain things - mainly me or Matt being funny and talking to her. She is so sweet. She's beginning to bust out of her newborn clothing lengthwise, but not weightwise. We'll see!
