the tiny tornado turns two!

Actually Livia turned two seven weeks ago, but it's been so cold and rainy I hadn't had a chance to take her out and snap some birthday pictures. Last Saturday evening Drew was at a slumber party, so Doron, Collin and I took Livia to the park for a little walk. I wasn't even planning to take her birthday pictures, but there are a few that I really love, so here we go! :-)

We had a little mishap right out of the starting gate, so Doron and I looked at each other and held our breath.


Phew! Nothing a little fence climbing couldn't fix.


With a nickname like the Tiny Tornado, it goes without saying that she's a spicy little thing.


But oh my goodness is she SWEET!!! ♥♥♥


Cuddly, lovey...she always has a hug for everyone.


When we go shopping, she's always calling out to other babies: "Hi baby girl! Hi baby boy!" Sometimes an adult might even get a "Hi man!" She attracts attention wherever she goes, and is gawked at by the early morning Panera Bread retirees when we go on our daily coffee run. (I do find I drink more coffee now than I did when it was just me and the boys).


She always hugs me tight around my neck and says "I love you too much mama!" ♥


She keeps up with her big brothers, no problem. (Or should I say she runs circles around them).


She's smart, funny, and she's got an incredible sense of humor. She'll sing the wrong words to songs on purpose with a really goofy voice like she's making fun of herself.


She runs everywhere she goes and never keeps still.


She talks non-stop, she always compliments me on my jewelry and she potty trained herself.


I love how she says y's instead of l's. (I yike yemons!)
I love how she wants to eat breakfast on my lap instead of in her high chair.
I love how she can catch a football as well as her brothers. (no kidding)



Her brothers are so over-the-top crazy about her, they beg me to have another baby.


Doron and I are so crazy about her...we've actually considered it.

We love you sweet baby girl!! Happy #2!! :-)
