Our growing lil peanut...

Wow how things change is such a short amount of time. Livia is growing so fast. She is becoming more aware of her surroundings; smiling and cooing. It's crazy how she looks a lot like Harper did when she was a baby. Liv has become a better sleeper these days with longer stretches at night making for better rested parents. She still spits up often but she is not unhappy like she was the first few weeks. (it seemed as though her tummy was having a hard time adjusting) Lateaf says Harper was the same way. It's crazy how we forget those things and are still worried that "she is lactose intolerant" or something:) I don't think the worrying ever goes away. Here are some shots of our growing little peanut Liv....

Lucky

We are so lucky to have this beautiful woman in our lives..

Aunt Shannon is a giver, a protector, a listener, an advisor, and so much more. She has always been someone that I look up to as my older sister and now my daughters are blessed to have her in their lives. She is a fantastic aunt and I cherish each moment spent with her! I love you to the moon and back sister moon!

In training

Our little scoops is already in training to be the next best womens soccer player.. or least her dad thinks so:) He's already ampted that she is a southpaw...

"Top 5"

Your dad is always listing his "top 5" things, whether it's his "top 5" favorite foods, "top 5" fav bands, etc. (you get the idea) I always give him a hard time because it seems a lot of things makes the same top five list. Anyways, one of Harper's top 5 places to go would definately be the park. We frequent the park a couple times a week and she has a blast. Sister comes along most times and enjoys being outdoors:) I'm sure someday it will be her "top 5" too...

Playdate with Ryder

The other day dadddy's friend Derrick and his son Ryder came over to hang out and then we went to an indoor playground to run off some steam. Ryder is almost a year older than Harper. It's fun to watch the difference between the way the kids play. Often times they do a lot of parallel play and other times Harper will watch Ryder play. It's not too often that Ryder pays attention to what Harper is doing, he's off in his own world. (I think it will be that way for his whole life.. I mean he is a boy.. isn't that right girls:)
