Dad
Aaron insisted I mark this milestone,right now. Liv just said "Dad", she's been babbling dadadadadad for a few weeks but she was seriously just sitting on the floor looking up at him and he was trying to get her to start babbling and she surpassed what he was asking for. She is also on the verge of crawling. She's been going backwards for a few weeks and she certainly figures out how to get around but now she is on her knees, rocking back and forth and is just about to figure out how to put it all together:)

Liv's 6 month checkup was today. I got to go because I got staff reduced all weekend at work so I was bright eyed and bushy tailed for her 1:30 p.m. appointment:) The verdict: She is in the 98th percentile for height at 27 inches and the 37th percentile for weight, at 15.7 lbs. She is getting over her first cold and her appetite has been decreased over the past week so her true weight is probably a little higher. Little booger is still not eating solids as well as I would like. I'm trying. I just need to find something she loves and get her to enjoy it so she will try other stuff. Today we tried blueberry yogurt and peach puffs. Both of which she spit out and acted like she was being gagged with:(
We got about 8 inches or so of snow over the weekend and Cecelia loves our backyard because as she found we have a pretty good hill for sledding on the garage side of our house. The neighbor kids and her enjoyed a few hours of sledding and I enjoyed watching her have fun:)
This week I'm contemplating going back to school for my masters degree. Yikes!!!

I know I definitely need to add some pictures to this blog. It's just that I usually update the blog from work (working overnights can get quite boring) and I obviously don't have access to my pictures from my work computer:(
Liv spend the today babbling "dadadadadadad". Aaron couldn't be happier. But I swear she's been screaming "MOOOOOOOOOOM" since she was born! You can't stop this rolling girl. Not only is she rolling ALL over the place she can turn herself around and she "crawls" backwards. Which is actually her attempting to get on her knees and sliding backwards a few inches. Too cute! She officially got her first cold. Running nose, cough and all. Very sad for her because I know exactly how she feels...Cecelia gave me the cold.
Speaking of Cecelia. That little girl is growing up so fast! We spent some time over the last 2 weeks working on her final presentation for 2nd grade. In social studies, they are learning about government. So for their presentations, they had to make a poster and speech (note cards required), describing why they would be a great mayor of Papillion. And if elected, what changes they would like to see.
Cecelia said she would make a great mayor because:
1.)She gets good grades, and helps her classmates (she's a peer coach)
and
2.) Through Girl Scouts she volunteers for community organizations like the Salvation Army (bell ringing this year on the coldest day in November), Safe Haven (making Halloween candy buckets for the kids who couldn't go trick-or-treating because for whatever reason it wasn't safe for them to do so), and for doing canned food drives for donations.
She said that if voted Mayor of Papillion she would:
1.) Build a new swimming pool that would have free admission because Papio doesn't have enough pools and the ones it does have are too crowded (ever been to Papio Bay? Enough said)
and
2.) Make the school days longer but have a shorter school year. This way they wouldn't be rushed during the day to get everything done, and the kids could enjoy a longer summer. A win-win for teachers and students:)
To top it off, we helped her make "Campaign buttons". Hobby Lobby has just about anything you can think of creating. Then we took a picture from the newspaper of President Obama giving a speech and cut a picture of her head out and glued it to Obama's body and glued that to her poster board. Hilarious!
Aaron and I, under my urge, have decided to go on a money diet. I just feel like since we decided to buy a house, our wallets have been hemorrhaging cash. We make enough money to have a good savings and little debt and well, right now we just have the opposite. Little savings and a good amount of debt. I would eventually like to cut down to just 2 days a week when I get pregnant with the next baby and, by eventually, I mean before this next winter. So if that means that I need to price match and pack a lunch for work, I'm willing to do it:)
