Melt me like butter

Liv sang with me last night. She's been singing off and on for a while, but last night she sang her "sleepy time" song with me. Usually she tells me "NO Mama NO!". She was so sweet last night. She put her head on my shoulder and sang with me as we went up the stairs to her room.

Sleepy time has come for my baby.
Baby now is going to sleep.
Kiss Mama good night and I'll turn out the lights and I'll tuck you in bed with your covers tight. Sleepy time has come for my baby.
Baby now is going to sleep.

To Remember.....

There are so many things I want to remember about Liv at this age. She is so funny and her vocabulary is growing in leaps and bounds. She's starting to talk in full sentences, although "there he is" is still more of a sound then individual words. She says "Peas" for "Please" and mixes up "me" and "you".


She found her Tu-tu and was so proud to have put it on herself.


She loves to play in the dirt. She insisted on wearing that hat to dig in her "garden". Yesterday when I got home from work, she was excited to show me the tree branches she had "planted". I'm going to have to get her something to plant in the planter. Any suggestions?


She watches far too much TV/Computer, but she is limited to : The Wiggles, Sesame Street and Blue's Clues, with the occasional Caillou thrown in. She can move from website to website and play the video's and games by herself.She loves to go to the play ground. For some reason, she calls it Tball. She's never seen a T-ball game and has no idea what it is, so I have no clue where tball comes from.

Little Bit is 2 today

I truly cannot believe she is 2 today. Where has the time gone? This past week she's had a language explosion. Mostly because Grammy came for a visit last Saturday and has been working with her. When asked "how old are you?" she'll say 2! and try to hold up 2 fingers. Melts me into a puddle. I so wish I could see more of her. The 1 1/2 hours I get after work is just not enough. It's killing me. Especially since I'm back at the restaurant 3 nights a week. I'm glad Zalebaby is home with her, but it still makes me want to scream. I'm going to stop here. This is suppose to be about my beautiful baby-girl's 2nd birthday.


She loves to tell me NO! and she always says Daddy! when she doesn't know the correct name for something. She loves to help clean the kitchen and she has her very own broom to help sweep. She is terrified of the vacuum and will run screaming from the room if you get it out of the closet. My little bird will eat anything I'm trying to eat, but turn her nose up if I try to feed it to her on her own plate. Loves to do the Electric Company Slide---Hey You Guys!-- She loves to color and often wants Daddy to draw Elmo for her so she can color all over the picture. Liv is the queen of puzzles and goes through her stack of them every day.

My Eskimo baby:

Grammy got her a wooden table and chair set for her birthday and she is so excited over it. She moves from chair to chair having tea with her dollies. I could just eat her up. More Please!
