My sweet baby is showing me a little more every day how she isn't so much that "baby" anymore. Half of me wants to just cry because I want her to stay little forever, but the other half knows that there is so many more milestones to look forward to.

Miss Liv is now 2 1/2 years old and really starting to explode in the language department. My family back home especially notices now that she can really talk on the phone! She is really patient and eager to learn. McKayla sits and plays "word games" with her where she says "Liv say Daddy" and just changes what word she has her say. Last night they played for a good 15 minutes and Liv just kept repeating those words back at her big sister! She often surprises us with what comes out of that little mouth. Full 3-4 word sentences already!

Liv is my biggest (at her age) She is only about 2 pounds smaller then Nat and probably a couple inches shorter. She is so full of spunk that she makes everyone around her laugh! The nursery workers at church just love her and she has these chubby cheeks that you just wanna pinch (not hard of course!)

Eating is one of the things I don't have trouble getting her to do. She is always willing to try new things (which the other two don't really do!) She is also constantly falling asleep in the weirdest positions/places. I have more pics of her sleeping then any of the other kids. Sadly she doens't get her naps nearly as often as we wish (thanks big sisters!) but when she does, she is an excellent napper. She sleeps really well thruogh the night, though on occasion we do get her sneaking into our bed. I can't tell her no because she is like this little heater in our bed. Love it!

I feel like I don't have nearly as much to say about Liv, but I swear she is so fun. She just isn't in school yet, and isn't causing me any trouble, so I have nothing to ramble about with her =)
