Other Fun

A few other highlights from the past week or so...

A hike out the back door

Liv occasionally asks me to open the "spice door" and every once in a while I oblige and we spend a few minutes opening the little jars and smelling what's inside. Naming the leaves and seeds and how else she knows them... like, "these leaves are 'oregano'. We use oregano on PIZZA!!"

Adventures in dress-up.

I think when she actually dresses herself she's going to dig this,
for now we'll stick with fun hats and shoes! LOL

Snow! (not really)

Ever since our new years trip through the Sierra to visit our friends in Nevada, Liv is excited about snow. Even pretend snow - of which we got a delivery just for her, it seemed!!!

New Bed

The New Bed Came!

Mommy & Daddy (mostly Daddy) put it together, just in time for bed-time.

Liv was helping too, she has her hammer in hand!

And she spent the whole night in bed.

She woke up once a little confused but was easily soothed and went right back to sleep.

and she didn't even fall out. We might not need rails afterall.

exciting stuff!

Not Napping

The Little Escape Artist

You can almost read her mind:
"Oops, almost forgot. Binky stays in bed."

Now if I could get her to understand that SHE should stay in bed.
:)

Catch the Dot

We might be going to hell...

Puddle Splashing

Seriously, who doesn't love splashing??

I must have poured a cup of water out of those boots when she was done! LOL

Merry Christmas!

Looks like love at first sight!

Enjoying the "short" (liv's word for little) books!

Yay! Music toys!

Jeff's comment:

"10 years ago, if you had told me I'd be building doll furniture, I'd have called you crazy."

 

 

Li'vs loving the "Little Mommy" gear.

(a good sign, I think.)

 

 The three-mile hallway is perfect for strolling. :)

 

oooh, pretty butterfly wings.

 

 a little fairy princess at the chalk board! LOL

The 85th time strolling down the hall.

basking in the loot!

and figuring out the new matching game.

Great big thanks to everyone who helped make this such an incredibly fun experience for all of us!

Hope Santa was good to you, too!
