Street fair, baby legs and Toys R us

Like usual we've had a busy week sad to know the weekend is over and back into the same weekly routine tomorrow. BLAH! Friday was a nice day so I took Livi up to the Enumclaw street fair to walk around. I don't think i've ever seen that town so busy. People were everywhere. It definitly will be more fun for her in the years to come they had pony rides, bouncy houses a stand where kids could stuff their own stuffed animals. I saw a few of my clients there and they got to see Alivia in person not just in the tons of photos I always have with me at work. After we left the street fair I took Livi to the park and let her swing for a while and let her crawl around in the grass.
I've been wanting to buy Livi a pair of baby legs (leg warmer type things) for a while now so she can just wear a onsie and a pair of those that way she doesn't get rug burn all over her knees from crawling but i've been to cheap to spend $11.99 for a pair and we all know I can't sew so there is no way i'm going to make a pair. On Friday night I had to go buy some formula and baby food at Target and they had baby legs on sale for $2.99 so I decided to buy her a few pairs. She looks so cute in them but they don't stay up to well due to her ohh so cute chubby thighs.
Staurday when I got home from work we all just relaxed took a 2 hour nap which was nice, ordered some pizza and cleaned the house. This morning we got up early to run a few errands and made a stop to Toys R Us. We looked all over the store for some fun toys for Livi. We went over to the learning toy section, I guess you would call it that where they had all the Leap Frog toys and we started playing around with all the diffrent stuff. We came across this stuffed frog that lights up, talks, sings, teaches about colors and shapes and it plays soothing music to put little ones to sleep. Alivia was all over it she was so excited she kept smiling, lauging and kicking her feet everytime it would do something. We had to buy it for her.
This last week Alivia really started mocking us when we laugh and make noises. Matt was teaching her how to smack her lips together and make that popping noise with your mouth. So if we do it she will copy us it's too funny. Her top teeth are starting to poke out more and she's been a bit cranky poor baby her gums are so swollen. Last week she started standing and pulling up on things and now she's letting go of the couch or whatever she is holding on to and standing on her own for a few seconds before falling down she's working on that balance. I think she'll be walking way before her first birthday but we will see. We're going to have to start baby proofing the house even more. Speaking of first birthday i'm already starting to plan things out for her party and her one year photos it's going to be cute and ohh so girly you'll just have to wait and see what I have in store. Well it's late and i'm ready for bed. Hope you all have a great week!

Update on Livi

This has been a busy week for Miss Alivia. One of her bottom teeth popped all the way through and she has a top one that you can see is starting to break thru. Livi is crawling on all fours now and is quick when she's after something she wants. Over this past week she has also been pulling up on everything mostly us and the couch and she's starting to figure out how to walk around the couch. It amazes me how fast she figures things out. Look who's standing

Busy weekend

Friday night we celebrated Matt's birthday with my family. We all went out to dinner to The Rock. After dinner we met up with his family over at his cousin's house for her son's birthday. Saturday Matt had his birthday party with the guys, his brother's and a few friends came over for a night of video games and beer. That afternoon Livi and I went up to Mud Mt. Dam with my parents to enjoy the sunshine. Then spent the night at my parent's so the guys could be as loud as they wanted. Sunday my mom and I took Alivia on a walk around Buckley then we headed home and spent the afternoon with Matt. Sunday evening we met my parent's up at Mud Mt. again and we had a picnic. Here's a bunch of photos from the weekend enjoy i'm off to bed!

8 months old

Alivia is 8 months old today! Can't believe how big she's getting. I really enjoy the age she's at right now she has such a fun little personality she's busy, busy in to any and everything she can get her little hands on and she's quick too. Livi is crawling now, she can sit herself up, she's pulling herself up and standing while holding on to the couch or one of us. Her bottom front teeth are in and the top ones look like they will be here soon her poor gums are so swollen poor baby girl but she's not to fussy. I have to admit we really lucked out Alivia is such a happy baby hardly ever cries is always in a good mood and smiling sleeps 10-14 hours at night. Our next one will probably be the complete opposite.


Today is also Matt's 26th Birthday! I woke up early this morning and made him breakfast before he got home from work. He spent the day at a concert so I was bummed we didn't get to spend the day together, but he had a good time. We're going to go out and celebrate on Friday so that will be nice. Alivia and I spent the day running around getting errands done, took a nap went out to dinner with one of my friends then hung out with some of the girls from the salon and their kids and ended the evening by stopping by grandma and grandpa's. Like always here's some photos of Alivia from today it's amazing how much she's growing and changing! Enjoy


Getting so big!
Happy girl!

4th of July

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We couldn't have asked for a better day. We went over to Corinne and Steve's house on the lake (where we got married) the weather was perfect around 70-75 degrees not to hot which made it nice. There was lots of great food, a DJ, nice sunshine, a quick down pour around 9 and tons of fire works. Livi fell asleep about half hour before the fireworks began and slept through the first few minutes but we woke her up and she loved it! Her eyes were so big and she kept smiling. The sound didn't seem to bother her, I was worried about that. Well here's a bunch of photos enjoy :)Livi in her pretty dress
