Alivia is one years old today, November 21st. Where has this year gone? I can't believe how quickly she has grown. She's been walking about 6-10 steps at a time for a few weeks now. We celebrated her birthday while we were at the Johnson's a few weeks ago and the kids had so much fun with the cousins. We're celebrating again today (with pudding pie) and then we will celebrate when we go up to the Goodall's for Thanksgiving too. She is loved by so much family! All of the cousins just love getting together as you can see.
Alivia just loves Boss man! She gave him hugs and pocked his eyes and gave him kisses and he just sat there and took it all. He's such a cute little man!
Like my other little munchkin, Alivia LOVES to climb the stairs and climb up on boxes or the toilet etc etc etc. She will go up the stairs and then throw her arms up in the air while she's standing on the edge of the stair. It freaks me out and she thinks it is so funny. Ammon has taught her how to fly down the stairs on her tummy really fast. I don't worry about her falling too often unless Ammon is around. He loves to 'help' little sister go up and down the stairs. He will push her little bum and say 'go baby, go!'
Alivia got the cutest little baby doll (not a quiet little thing, but it is cute) from Aunt Natalie and Aunt Sherri. Every time Bailey would find it she would bring it to Alivia to hold.
Alivia just chillin' with Gramps. She is a very relaxed baby most of the time. She is either on the go or chillin'.
Bo is getting so big. He was Ammon's size when Darren and I got married. I think he is enjoying having someone little to be buddies with and wrestle around with. Ammon had so much fun playing with kids non stop. He never gets this much attention at home.
Alivia is 3 months older than Boston but yet he's starting to out grow her. I think he weighs more than her. Aren't they the cutest little things!
Gracie trying to give Ammon a horsey ride. He kept spilling over on his head but they both were having a great time. Luckily nobody got hurt.
This is the first time I have ever let Alivia try to feed herself. The spoon didn't last long but she loved using her hands! She smacks her lips together and says 'ohhhh' when she gets excited or loves the food. These were baby food bananas that she was eating. What a mess! She loved every minute though. Last night I had a plate with some crumbs on it and she wanted desperately to have the plate. I gave it to her and she started licking the crumbs off like a little puppy. I tried taking it away from her and she started huffing and puffing through her nose and staring at me like she was about to charge. It was so hilarious!
Aunt Megan held her first cupcake for her while I took a picture. Alivia grabbed a marshmallow, looked at it, and then stuck it to Megans shirt. Oops!
Here is the hideous cake that I created. Didn't look great but it tasted delicious. My idea was to have a cupcake tower but there were no toothpicks in the house and so they wouldn't stay in place and so we had fun decorating with marshmallows. I usually don't like marshmallows but they were delicious with the cake and frosting. Don't ask me what it is. It's just a blob of sugar.
Yesterday was Alivia's first encounter with snow (since she's been mobile). Darren came running down the stairs, picked her up and took her outside. He was so excited to show her the first snow storm. She's got a very cute daddy!
Loves from Gracie. She just adores the babies.
Some of the munchkins.
This is Alivia's outfit from grandma. She is so cute in purple and I love the little vest.
Ammon is getting potty trained (he will only use the big potty) and so Alivia wants to be a part. She mostly likes to stand in this little potty but will occasionally just chill on it for awhile.
Her favorite present was the tissue paper. Bethy and her boyfriend Trevor were playing with her presents.
Of course she has her thumb in her mouth, and I wish I could get rid of the red eyes. Alivia has been a wonderful addition to our family. She makes us laugh with her fun personality. She loves her big brother and watches everything he does. She's always smiling and getting into things. Her favorite things to do are, eat paper, eat food, eat wood, eat rocks, flush the toilet, eat books, eat dirt, splash in the toilet etc. She loves to crawl and climb and make a mess. She will stand on Ammon's bed and pull all of the books off the book shelf. I will pick them up and then she does it again and again and again. You would think I would learn to put them somewhere else. Alivia doesn't sleep much. She does takes naps but they are not more than 1-2 hours once a day. I am lucky if she will nap twice. She doesn't like to be sang to (by mom at least) and will only fall asleep at night with mom or dad laying next to her in our bed. She's starting to dance more.
Alivia likes to sing at church. She doesn't like to be dressed but doesn't mind her diaper being changed. She is very tender hearted. She loves to give Ammon hugs and kisses and pats on the back. She is a go getter. She will find a way to get whatever she wants. Most of the time she eats Ammon's food from his tray before he can. Today she grabbed the entire sacrament water tray and dumped in out. Both me and the young man were trying to pry to out of her hands and she still managed to grab all the cups. I was so embarrassed but there was nothing I could do. We all love you Alivia girl! We can't wait to continue to get to know you for many more years and hope you have a wonderful 2nd year of your life!
