48 Weeks Old

Well folks, she's officially 11 months old! And, we could not be happier with our sweet little cupcake!

Sure, she's still only crawling (scooting) backwards, and sure, she's been a little more clingy/needy lately, but man oh man, she's still the sweetest, smiliest, most snuggly baby I've ever met.

It seems like every time Ryan makes eye contact with Liv, she lights up and claps her little hands. She loves her Daddy so much! She's pretty fond of her Mommy too- my favorite time is in the morning when both girls have just gotten up and we spend about 30 minutes just hanging out, reading, and snuggling in our big bed. We sure are lucky people, being the parents of these two lovely ladies!

In the PHOTOS THIS WEEK (link) you'll see: Fun with local friends, Liv hanging out with her friend Charlie, Jillian and Liv at the golf course playing on a chair, both girls in the cart at Costco, pictures with our friend Ashley, Liv inspired by Ashley to wear her heel-arious shoes (thanks Maggie!), COVERED in Mangos (have I mentioned what a MESSY eater this kid is???), nearly too big for her car seat, hanging out with Daddy and Jillian, Jillian and Liv meet our new friend baby John (he is PERFECT, like a little doll!!), fun in the bath- a close up of the birthmarks along her left arm, and more of her lashes (maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline...), posing outside, and fun at the *swimming pool!

* I should note- the bathing suit Liv is wearing in these photos, Jillian wore last week. It still fits Jillian just fine (it's 12 month size) and was just right for Liv too. I said to Jillian, "You're still wearing that bathing suit, are you sure you want to pick it for Liv today?" she responded, "oh... yeah... it will be fine for her. I'm just longer-ish, so it's different on me." true, true... :)

Have a great week! Only 4 more posts left on Liv's first year blog- can you believe it?!?
