Daddy's Name Is...
Scott and I talk sometimes about how rarely we actually use each other's given names. We have each acquired a short list of favorite pet names, and now with kids we most often go by "Mommy" and "Daddy". Livvy, however, has recently become a bit preoccupied by what our "real" names are. She hears mine often enough at play-dates and such to know what it is. And every once in awhile she tries to use it (just to get a reaction I am sure). But today over lunch she asked, "What's Daddy's name?" So I said, "Well, Daddy's name is Scott. But you can just call him Daddy." She thought that through for a few seconds and then replied, "Daddy's name is Babe." I couldn't stop smiling for the rest of lunch.

Livvy-isms
Olivia is at such a fun age right now and is talking like crazy! I have to write down some of the things she has said recently just so I don't forget:
~ When told one Sunday morning how cute she looked, she said "I'm not cute! I'm adorable!"
~ Naked after a bath, she proceeded to put on my shoes, waltzed into the room with her hands on her hips and proclaimed "Check it out!"
~ At Christmas time she was always noticing pictures of the Baby Jesus or nativity scenes with the Baby Jesus. Each time she would say "There's Baby Jesus. I love him!"
She's also got quite the imagination. Lately during playtime she is either on a rescue mission or taking some kind of trip. I can hear her yelling "To the rescue!" all the time. When she goes on her imaginary trips (usually to preschool, church, or the store) she always has to pack some kind of bag. She loves to use a carry-on suitcase, but will settle for my purse or scripture bag if all the luggage is put away. If I am ever missing anything (particularly ear plugs or diaper cream), then I can usually find it in one of her bags.
Goodness, she makes me happy!

One evening Livvy was being naughty at the dinner table, so she was sent to her room for time out. When the crying stopped and she still didn't come back, we went to check on her and found her like this.
