16 Months

Our Livvy turned 16 months on the first.  She has been saying so many more words lately.  Some of them are: turtle, yes sir, Clinton, Ja Ja, bite, watermelon, bible, walk, wow-wow (owie) and any other word you tell her to say.  Her voice is one of the sweetest things I've ever heard.  She runs all the time and has amazing balance.  I love watching her imitate Sophia.  They are super cute together.  Everything she does is done fast and with expression.  If you make a silly face at her she is guaranteed to let out a big laugh.  We are loving watching her grow. 

Dancing Faces

Sophia loves to dance and especially loves to spin in circles.  She and Livvy will both do it for a long time and it results in some pretty crazy faces.  I love my silly girls.  I couldn't get any pics of Livvy because she moves way to fast.  Too bad she doesn't sit still more so I can capture pictures of her cuteness.

Beach Love

We have been loving the beach lately.  The girls are finally both at the age where we can go and stay more than 30 minutes without someone being done.  Livvy loves the water and waves while Sophia is a bit more apprehensive.  It is so neat to see Livvy bring Sophia out of her shell and get her to be a bit more daring simply by her being her "try anything" self.  I love how they have such different qualities that can benefit the other. 

 Can you believe that this is where we live?  Amazing.

 Such a sweet smile



You Look So Genius

Sophia: Mom, you look so genius.
Me: Oh, thanks, Sophia.  Do you know what genius means?
Sophia: No.
Me:  It means that someone is really smart.
Sophia: That's a nice thing to say.  It is the opposite of stupid and stupid is not a nice thing to say. 
Me: That's right.

Peaches

This is how we eat peaches in our house:

Peach kisses are the best!

Transparent

"Mom, look at my glass slippers.  They are transparent." - Sophia

I bet Cinderella never said that!

15 Months

Below are the sweet and silly faces of Livvy.  She is a mix of comedy and drama.  We are working on obeying since now she knows exactly what we are asking her to do.  The last baby gate came down today. 

Some new words she says are: sorry, gentle, bubble (one of my favorites), grandma, grandpa and bye bye.  Her silly face will melt your heart and if everyone else is laughing she will be sure to join in.  In fact, she will likely just start laughing for no reason. 

 Nursing is now back to four times a day.  I don't really know what to do about that, but we're just going with it.  She typically sleeps 11 hours at night and takes a two hour nap.  This has been such a great thing for me. 

Her kisses are the best and her whine is the worst.  We are working on having her use her limited vocabulary to let us know what she needs.  It's a process.

We love our littlest girl!
