Little Livvy

I wanted to do a quick update on Livvy now that she is 3 and a half months old! She is getting so big and so fun. She smiles all the time and is starting to talk (babble) a lot too! She loves to be held especially by her Mommy. She thinks Gabrie is funny and usually like to play her. When Daddy comes home she will follow him with eyes where ever he goes and always loves to sing and dance with him to loud music (When Gabrie was little she liked it too). She is a great sleeper (knock on wood). She grabs anything that comes in contact with her hand, like Mommy's hair (: She will take a pacifier but not usually for long and will not take it if it wasn't her idea! When she sneezes she does it at least 4 or 5 times. She loves to have things close to or in her face when she sleeps, she will plant her face right in my arm. She is such a sweetheart. I love to snuggle her and she has the most kissable cheek!

Happy Birthday Gabriella!

Gabriella turned 3 years old!
She had a really fun birthday. We went to the Mayan to see the divers for dinner the night before, then we went to Jumpin Jacks with Luke's side of the family and had cake and ice cream at Grandma Yaya's. Gabrie had so much fun and was actually a really good girl all day!
Here she is with her new scooter and helmet and the movie "Princess and the Frog"

Such focus!She picked out a princess cake even though she keep changing her mind (:

Opening presents with her crown of course!

Gabriella is such a fun and loving girl and we are so glad she is in our family! She loves her sister Olivia so much, she always wants to hug and kiss her and will sing to her when she is sad (the "Don't Cry Song" it goes "Don't Cry, don't cry, It will be fine, don't cry...") She thinks everyone wants to be her friend and will tell them all "Hey it's me, Gabrie!" Everyone is her "people" but she especially loves all her cousins. She loves "frincesses" and most days insists on wearing a "frinderlla dress." She talks a lot about "esterday" and "tomorrow after naps." She adds an "s" to words like think (stink), thought (stought),and thumb (stumb).She has a great memory and talks about when Daddy took her to the temple (temple square) and she was afraid of Jesus (the Christus) and the time she went swimming with her cousins. She reverses words like "store-pet" and "shop-pets" (Littlest Pet Shop). Some other funny things she says are "unrella" (umbrella), oh yeah-huh,She has such a strong spirit and a smart mind. She is very creative and loves playing with play dough and painting. She also loves hide and seek (even though she hides in the same place and tells you where she is), playing at the park and anything active. She is quite a handful at times but she is our little handful and we wouldn't have it any other way! We love you Gabbers!

Easter and Spring Break

Here are some recent pictures!

Justus and Kyrsten came in town a couple weeks ago and we had fun hanging out.
Ashlyn, Izzy, Justus and Gabrie (not looking of course!)

Kyrsten gave us all glitter toes and Gabrie really wanted green ones like "Izzybell's"- I was surprised she actually held still for it.

Livvy and her cute smile

Easter Eggs at Papa and Yaya's.
We had a fun Easter with both sides of the family! Jeni and her family came in town which made it extra fun. Gabrie loved playing with her cousins everyday.

Livvy's Blessing

We blessed Livvy last week and then had some family over. It was lots of fun but we missed Aaron, Miriam, Jeni, Justus, Spencer and their families!

Gabrie loved having all her cousins over and was a proud big sister. After the blessing was done Gabrie stood in the isle and held out her arms and yelled "It's time to go!" It was really funny.

Cute pictures

Here are some cute pictures we have taken over the past two months!

I didn't used to like the big bows but now...it's too cute!
Gabriella in her Big Sister Boots! Thanks Aunt Susan! My Aunt sent her these boots to help her be a big sister. She has had a rough couple months, poor girl! The other day she asked if she could sit in the front seat, I said no it was just for "Mommies and Daddies and bigger kids, you are too little." She got really upset and "No I have my Big Sister Boots!"
Drawing at Daddy's work.

Valentine's Day

I had to put this picture in because it should go in a text book next to the term "tonic neck reflex." She definitely still has it!
Livvy and Papa
Gabrie and Mamie, Miriam and Mamie came for a visit and Gabriella loved seeing them everyday!

Livvy's smile ( you have to turn you head)

Someday....

Someday I will have time to post all the cute pictures and video of Livvy and Gabrie, someday.

Living with Livvy

Here are some pictures we've taken since we have had Livvy home.First bath at home, she didn't enjoy it. It was kind of stressful, bathing her and trying to make sure Gabrie didn't help too much! She would wipe Livvy with a wash cloth which was fine but then she kept filling a cup with water, I think her intent was to pour it on Livvy but I never let her get that far.
Wide eyed and beautiful
I love her hair!
Gabrie is loving having a little sister. She had made beds for all her stuffed animals and then made a place for her and Livvy to sleep.

Gabrie loves to give things to Livvy which I do not like but how do you tell her that her tokens of love are not allowed? In this picture she was sharing her animals with Livvy and she loves to lay down and go to bed next to her anytime Livvy is not being held. She is wonderful big sister, in her own way ( :Sisters
