Life with Liv, Lai, + Lera

You weigh 13.4 lbs You are in a size 2 diaper You wear size 0-3 months and 3 months clothes You are drinking 4-5 oz of milk and now are on a medium flow nipple all the time. You are sleeping through the night from 9-5. We stopped feeding you cereal because your reflux is much better with your new meds so you don't need it! Daddy took you to the doctor because you were crying really hard every time you would eat...Dr. Montgomery changed your medicine to Previcide and your formula to Soy. It took your a few days, but now you are doing much better! You are trying so hard to hold your bottle....we are practicing with your bottle holder! peek-a-boo You love your bath time, but you don't like having to put on your PJ's afterwards...you would go naked if we would let you. You laughed one time while you were in the bath on February 29th. You are responding to your name even more...it takes you a little bit to turn yo...

Today we met Ali and Ainsley for a run and playtime at the park. Not running in several months (8) makes a huge difference...I couldn't even keep up with Ali who BTW is 38 weeks pregnant and pushed a double stroller with A and L in it!!! I offered but it does help with balance to hold on to the stroller...I felt like a wimp!!! I will get back in the swing of things now that we are getting a few nice days during the week...Ainsley loved having Liv beside her in the stroller!!! Livia got hungry and began crying for a little bit but then she feel asleep...when we finished running I fed Liv while Ainsley and Ali played..Ainsley kept insisting that Liv swing with her...she couldn't understand why she couldn't! We had fun and look forward to many play dates this summer with the Mill's girls!

You respond to your name. You are still eating 4-5 oz of formula....you rarely eat 5 oz. We moved you from a slow nipple to a medium one, but your are not ready for that one yet! You wear a size 2 diaper. You wear size 0-3 months and moving to 3 months clothes. You weigh 12.8 lbs. You are still sleeping in your bassinet. Our nightly routine is working so great! At 8:00 we give you a bath...next we feed you you last bottle...then we read you a book and say your night night prayers...and then we lay you down to sleep. I love watching you sleep...you look so peaceful! You greet everyone with a smile! You have started acting shy...when someone talks to you...you smile and tuck your head down and to the side..it pretty adorable! You like to bounce and for us to pat your bottom. You make bubbles and funny noises with your mouth. We planned your first BIG trip...we are flying to Texas! You love when we hook up the Ipod to your swing...your favorite song is Party in the USA by Mile...

Livia's first Valentine's Day was so sweet. We had a lot of fun celebrating with her! My mom stayed with us the whole week! That was the best Valentine's Day gift for all of us! These are the Valentine's Day cards we sent to our family and Livia's friends! They had so much fun with each other! If you notice in the corner...Addy loved Livia's doggy more than she did! Cody made me a dozen chocolate covered strawberries! They were yummy! First Valentine's as a family of 4. We gave her a mobile to hang on her car seat and she loves it! It sings, lights up, and vibrates so the little bugs flutter their wings! I had to get the doggy for her! It says...I love you this much! What is Valentine's Day without a huge balloon! Gran bought Livia these adorable pink jeans from our favorite store...Tweed. Emmi and Papa bought Liv Your Baby Can Read! Emmi and Papa also got her a little red stuffed bear. She loved that it was so l...

We made a quick trip home to celebrate Jackson's birthday! We had such a great time! It was good to visit with so many people from Samantha's family that I grew up around! I do have a funny story...Samantha called me on my way home to tell me about Jack's birthday party....I asked her what the party theme was and she said bud weiser...I was a little shocked and she could tell...she quickly began to explain... she said that she had asked Jackson what kind of birthday party he wanted and he said a bud weiser party....she just figured that he was saying this since Toma works at the bud weiser plant...one night during the week a Toy Story commercial came on the TV and Jackson said see momma it's bud weiser (Buzz Lightyear)...haha so needless to say he did not have a bud weiser themed party, but a Buzz Lightyear one instead! It was so cute and so much fun...she had two big inflatables for the kids, tons of good food, and yummy cake! Happy 3rd Birthday Jackson! The Willoughb...

We had to celebrate Valentine's Day early at Mrs. Julie's because she is having surgery next week so the kids won't be there. We had so much fun making Valentine's Day treats for Liv's friends, Mrs. Julie, YahYah, and Nana! We made Oreo pops for the kids and M&M's kiss pretzels for the grown ups! Yummy! They turned out great! We also had so much fun dressing up in all of her V-day outfits all week! My favorite is pictured below! Cute labels that I ordered from Etsy. Mrs. Julie bought Livia a Valentine's gift from the Happy Heart in Arlington...how appropriate! She loves her pink poodle!
