Modelin' Mo

Livie had her pictures taken at Kiddie Kandids today. We think that she is so dang cute! No one can believe that she's only 4 1/2 months old. She learned to roll over this week. She's also getting pretty good at sitting up.

Here are a couple of our favorite pics from today's photo shoot...




Here is the link if you want to see the rest (or order any of them):

Mo Mowin' and Chowin'

Livie has had a very busy week. She helped Daddy mow the lawn on Saturday...

and she's practiced eating real food every day! She is really starting to feel like a big girl in her high chair...

And Daddy and Livie love to make a mess with her rice cereal...

As you can see in the video, Livie has had a real change of heart regarding her cereal after only a few days.

Swimming anyone??? (and Livie's first food)

Last Saturday, Brad, Ashley and I decided to finally open the pool. Needless to say, it was a little icky. It was so bad that the ducks, who had made our pool their home over the winter, wouldn't even get in. But don't worry friends, it looks fabulous now. Livie can't wait to get in the pool.












People debate who Livie takes after more. As you can see from the picture, she gets her flexibility from her mom, but likes to put her foot in her mouth like her dad!




Recently, Livie got a jumperoo at a shower at Brad's work. Now that she's able to hold her head up well, she's been spending a few minutes each day exercising in it. She seems to be getting the hang of it. Unfortunately, as you can see in the second picture, she's easily distracted by the tv overhead.









Livie went to the pediatrician yesterday for her 4 month appointment. She is now a whopping 26 inches long (off the charts), and 15 lb 5 oz (90th percentile). The doctor also gave us the green light to go ahead and introduce her to solid foods. So tonight, Brad and I put her in her high chair for the first time and tried to feed her rice cereal. Yummy! You can see how successful we were in the video below...
