Alivia's Day of Halloween Fun!

Alivia brushed her New Teeth!!

Alivia has finally started getting teeth. So far she has the two front bottom teeth but more are breaking through. We searched online to find out when we should start brushing her teeth and we read that the sooner the better. She is brushing her teeth by herself, twice a day and doing a fantastic job. She has her first dentish appointment in 2 weeks so we have to make them sparkle!!

Words can't describe how much Alivia loves her Paw Paw...although everyone get spoiled when he comes to visit. This was the first time Alivia not only let someone besides her parents hold her but also the time Alivia took her first steps, walking with her hippo.

Grammie's Visit #1

Grammie always captures the cutest moments..

Having fun in the tub..

Right before putting Grammie on the plane..

Alivia has had the best summer so far. She's learned so many new things and is up to four teeth now. Having her grandparents down is always a delight. This is my mom's first visit..

Dancing Queen

Alivia's title of her blog (alivialovestodance.blogspot.com) is best described by this video.

One year down...part III

I'm sorry it took so long to post these videos but some were very long and required a lot of trimming. Thanks for everyone cards and gifts...Alivia had a great first birthday!!

Happy Birthday to Alivia Rose..

One year down...part II

Alivia's birthday was so much fun. All the neighbors came with their kids and it was actually a great turn out. I wish all our family could've been here but since I knew they couldn't, I made sure to capture everything on video. Make sure to also play Alivia's reflection video..(the idea came from Aunt Crystal's page..she's so smart). Thank you for all the cards and gifts you sent. Alivia was definately overwhelmed!!!

P.S.- Thank you for the idea, Aunt Crystal!!

One year down...part I

So, I've taken awhile to get this post on here but like they say "good things come to those who wait!" =) ANYWAY, this was Friday, July 11th when Alivia received all your wonderful birthday packages in the mail. I couldn't believe how much she got! Thank You! Her favorite part might not have been actually seeing what gift she got but she definately had a blast opening them.

Learning and Growing

It is no secret that Alivia is amazing...or performs for food. This is yet another video of her standing although she a lot more on her own. We recorded for 15 minutes before I brought cookies into play...but atleast she did it! =)

Will Crawl for Food

Alivia is finally mobile. It's like she knew how to crawl all along but didn't want to show off. We're so excited that she's learned something new although this is only the beginning. (To get her to crawl for this video..we still had to bribe her with food!)

Baby Genius

Alivia is learning so much everyday that we are having a hard time capturing it all. Although, we were very lucky to capture her two latest moves.

Slip 'n Slide

Being that it's 100 degrees everyday in Texas, we decided to make a small investment. Alivia's been begging for a pool...so he Gigi finally bought her one =). Although this wasn't Alivia's first swim in a pool, i think she enjoyed it the most.
