Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! We had a good christmas and although I had to work christmas eve it was still enjoyable. We spent Christmas eve at Matt's grandparents christmas party. I was only there for a minute Alivia loved to be with all her cousins. It is so fun to see her play especially with so many kids so close to her age. Christmas was exhausting. I got off work at 1 am and got a little sleep before we got up to celebrate our own christmas at 6am. Then it was to matt's moms, matt's dads, and two other families homes. Tired was all we were by the end of the day. Alivia was so happy to have new toys and a lot of clothes. Matt and I enjoyed watching her experience her first christmas. We also took her to see temple square for the first time and it was awesome. We are excited to start the new year and look forward to her birthday next month. We love being parents its the best!

Time Flys

Well Alivia is 10 months old today and time is going so quickly! She got to have her first thanksgiving and even though Matt and I both had to work that day it was still nice to have a good meal. That night Alivia came down with a cold that we are still battling and that has not been to fun. I cant believe this coming month will bring her first christmas and the next month will be her first birthday. I love this time of year and am seeming to enjoy it even more with our little girl. Here is your past month milestones livy...

Walking

I cant believe at 9 and a half months my little girl is growing up so fast and is able to walk! I guess I shouldn't be surprised she has always been determined, smart and not one to sit still. She took her first steps on November 12th and although she prefers crawling she will walk when we want her to. I love her so much and cant believe how time flys and am excited to watch it continue especially with the coming holidays and first birthday approaching. Lots of Fun!!!

Wheeler Farm and Gardiner Village

I love the fall! This week Matt and I took Livy to Wheeler Farm and Gardiner Village. She did not care for the animals but loved the witches and pumpkins...my kind a girl. We had a blast and cant wait to dress up our little lion for halloween!

Time to baby proof!!

This week is the week to start baby proofing Alivia's crawling has taken off and we cant keep her contained any more. I love that she is getting so big and am a little nervous that crawling wont last long. Her new game is to see how long she can balance standing up and let you clap as she does it. Between that and walking along everything walking is around the corner! I love watching her grow and learn things each day we are so lucky to have her!!!
