My Alivia

I always hated that my mom didn't have any pictures of me growing up. She took some, but then never developed them. Now with Alivia, I feel like I don't take near as many pictures of Alivia as I did of Lucy or Jack. On day's I realize this I take a ridiculous number of pictures of her to try to make up. Time to get my game on. This one's for you Alivia! I love you!

Noodle on my nose!

Jack left the Halloween candy on the floor. Bad idea. (These pictures were taken on 4 different days over the course of 2-3 months, and in 3 of these 4 days Alivia is wearing the same outfit. I think it's because of the memories I have of Lucy wearing this outfit so it makes me pull out the camera to capture Alivia memories.)

Recreating the Lucy look for the first time. This outfit brings back such fun memories with Lucy, I just love it.

Down to the hair bow.

Alivia's excited toes (also reminds me of Lucy, only Alivia locks her knees and draws circles in the air with her toes, and Lucy just locked her knees so hard that her feet left the ground. My silly girls.)

This girl loves suckers.

Lucy loves to help with Alivia. She loves feeding her, but I always had a hard time letting her do it because of the mess they make together. But still, they are so cute. (I just noticed Lucy's shrug, not sure what was happening there, or how I never noticed it before. Obviously she dressed herself in a hurry.)

Love Alivia's face in this picture. Lucy paused for the photo op, but Alivia doesn't know what that means.

Alivia is such a good eater and we love it!

And this is why I usually do the feedings around here. Well, not any more, now Alivia will only eat if she can feed herself. Alivia is such a fun little girl, I just can't stop kissing and squeezing her! She adds so much to the family, even if she is a bit on the wild side.
