Alivia is Now the Big One!

At Birth, 6.6 pounds and 20 inches long!
At one year old, 15.13 pounds and 27 inches long!
What can I say, Alivia has been with us for a year now! Woohoo! She is such a sweetie-pie. We hosted an owl birthday bash for her on Friday, January 31, 2010. We actually had a really awesome turn-out despite it being a holiday and the bad weather that visited us the day before. We had over 20 friends and family help us celebrate Alivia! She has really started to bloom and learn new things. She is picking up on a lot of things as of late.
Alivia's Loves:
- Playing with her farm little people toy she got for Christmas - Giving hugs and kisses to us and to her stuffed animals
- Barking like a dog when she sees or hears Kloee
- drinking her sippy-cups like a big girl
- walking all by herself
- Playing with friends - Reading books
- Coloring
- Chasing the Sniffs and Kloee
Alivia's New Things:
- She can bark like a dog and moo like a cow
- Alivia can sign "please." Today at Chick-Fil-A, Ben asked her if she wanted to go play in the play area and Alivia signed "please". It was really cute and amazing to see her do that. We didn't even ask her to say "please," she just understood that is what you say if you want to go do something or get something.
- Livie Loo can blow out candles and blow on food when it is hot. We can now put food in front of her and say "it's hot" and she will blow on it without us asking her to "blow on the food".
- She loves to smell candles, she picked up on how to sniff things
- Alivia is becoming very independent and loves to explore on her own (although we don't let her have all the independence that she wants :)
- She just started to pick up on coloring and wants to do it all the time. She is not good and barely colors on the page but she loves it. We still have to watch for her to put the crayons in her mouth, but for the most part she will sit on her little stool and color for minutes! :)
