New & Two!

We welcomed Edison into the world December 7th

Two weeks later my Livvy Lou turned two!

Now there is two!

A little shocked and confused!

There is a BOY baby in my over grown belly!

Give me that camera!

Here is the reason I haven't been taking as many new pictures of Alivia... Every time she sees me with the camera she reaches for it and cries, cries, cries unless she can hold it!

Who are you?

Yesterday a package from Amazon arrived at my door for Alivia Bell. Inside was a Mozart Music Cube and a great recipe book for feeding toddlers and baby. What wasn't inside was any kind of invoice or card, so we have no idea who this great gift came from.
Whoever you are you know of Alivias love of music and my love of cooking and reading recipe books (which I did for a good part of Alivias nap upon arrival) So if by chance you are one of the three people who read this blog, then please kind gift giver let us know... we want to THANK YOU!

Christmas 09

Alivia made out like a bandit for Christmas!

You are very loved little one and oh so spoiled!

A birthday and Christmas a week apart makes for Toys-R-US in my front room.

Seriously Come play!

Alivia's First Birthday!

Alivia had so much fun on her first birthday she loves a crowd and she especially loved a crowd that was giving her all their attention.

She was not much interested in a free for all of cake. Just a dainty finger dip and lick.

Lots of Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins = LOTS and LOTS of gifts!

LOTS of CAKE!

Thank you Everyone and Happy first Birthday Livvy Lou!

Almost One

Alivia turns one on the 19th (I Can't believe it) I had my oh so talented sister in law capture these photos of my one year old and once again she did a beautiful job! You can link to her blog www.melaniericephotography.blogspot.com to see many more from this day.
