Don't Feed the Animals?

Better yet - don't let them feed themselves. Liv usually does a pretty good job of feeding herself once you put the food on her spoon for her but when she's tired it's a whole different story.

Tickle Monster

Aunt Benny brought Livia the cutest little book (a gift I'm stealing for all 1-year-old's b-days in the future) called "Tickle Monster". We both love it, Mommy gets to read dramatically and Livia get tickled. It's a win-win.

Pool time at the lake

Livia has her own little pool at the lake (much easier to keep track of her in it than the lake). She got a little worked up.

Boat ride

This kid doesn't stand a chance when she's on the boat - she's out like a light.

10 month birthday

Livia celebrated her 10 month birthday yesterday by standing up on her own. She just stood up, stood there for about 5 seconds with the biggest smile and then sat down. We're getting closer and closer to walking! Of course Mommy didn't get a picture so you have to imagine it while looking at pictures of her brushing her teeth after a bath.

Mommy's Birthday

Daddy, Livie and Grandma worked overtime for Mommy's b-day. Livia's godmother, Jennifer (Benny as she's known in this house) and her husband surprised us at the lake for the weekend!

Here's Liv's boat ride.
