Liv - 18 Months

It blows my mind that Liv will be a year and a half on Sunday.  My baby no longer looks like a baby.




Features: Her hair has gotten so blond from the sun this summer and she is tanner than I could ever try to be. 

Sleep: Liv sleeps 10-11 hours at night and takes one 2 hour nap during the day. When I really tire her out she will sleep 3+ hours but that entails me tiring myself out as well.

Eating: This past month I have witnessed much less food consumption than in months prior.  I attribute this to her unending teeth.  However, she still loves her Baba so much so that she flaps her arms in excitement every time she sees it.  She primarily eats fruits and veggies.  Meat is very hit or miss. Raisins are a favorite.  My girl loves to sip on "tea" aka green tea lemonade with me in the morning on my days off.

Diapers: Still rocking size 4

Clothing: Mostly 18 months.  The pants are usually too big in the waist but the tops fit just perfectly. We have moved to size 5 shoes.

Words: Liv repeats everything these days, especially the last word of your sentence.  This weeks words on repeat are Salsa and Turtle.


Likes: Buckles & Dolls - All dollies have to be naked and any buckle she can find she wants to clip closed.  Don't be in a rush to get in or out of the car b/c she will throw a fit if she can't buckle her car seat.


Activities: Two weeks ago Liv started whistling and hasn't stopped since.  Also, we are starting the potty training process since she is now telling me when she has gone. 

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Steamy Days of August

The humidity returned this past weekend leaving us two options - be in the water or stay in the AC.
We finally  started taking advantage of living so close to the beach and enjoyed not one but two nights there as the sun was setting.

Weekend Roundup

Happy August 1st! I like that we are kicking off Monday with a new month.  It just feels like a fresh start. 

Our weekend was busy as usual.  Smart people would try and relax on their weekend, but we apparently cram as many activities as humanly possible into two days.

Her face is priceless.  Fresh caught seafood for dinner.

Some Slip & Slide Fun with Aunt Stacie










One would think crazy girl would love the rides?

Boy were we wrong! She spent the ride clinging to her cousin, screaming and crying.

Mom, are we really going on another ride?

Who doesn't like the merry-go-round?

Thank goodness for a bench so we didn't have to repeat the waterworks from the previous ride.


The only ride she enjoyed was the choo choo train that went about 2 MPH.
