Alivia turned three years old today! We had fun singing happy birthday to her when she woke up and walked out of her room. It was a fun filled day (see future post) but mostly I want to tell you a few things about this cutie. First of all, she is ALL girl! She loves princesses, dresses, dolls, tiaras, dancing, and singing. She loves to sing the popular "Let it go" from Frozen, at the top of her lungs. Even though you can't understand what she says all the time, she tries so hard to sing all the words and you can tell she knows many songs by heart. Including, Happy Birthday, Twinkle Twinkle, Let it Go, Gethsemane (the song Kaylee sang in church Sunday), I am a Child of God, and many more. She loves puzzles and is always pulling out two or three puzzles a day. Sometimes I have to help her and sometimes she can do them all by herself. She loves to watch tv.....who doesn't? Her favorite shows change often, but lately it has been Barbie, Daniel Tiger, Teen Beach Movie, Barney, and most other shows on Netflix. She also loves Dora, Blues Clues and Fresh Beat Band when we remember about amazon. She loves to be outside and ride her bike and I wouldn't be surprised if she is off her training wheels by the end of this summer. She is such a loving little girl and mostly has a smile on her face. She will wave to strangers in the store, tell people thank you, and is not shy to say hi or bye to people. She LOVES nursery, like LOVES it. And it helps that the leaders in nursery love her. She will come home and smell like their perfume because she loves to cuddle and hug them. They always tell me how smart she is and how she is always so animated when she sings and does the songs. It is always fun to hear how much they love her. One of her favorite things to do is say prayer. She insists every night that she say the blessing on the food, even if someone has already done it. So many times we have two prayers. Then she says one before bed and it is so cute to hear her say them. Her speech is still hard to understand, but she is slowly getting more words that she can say more clear. Even though she might not talk the best, she understands everything we say to her and is so smart. She is easy to put to bed and loves sleeping in her own twin big girl bed and room. She can be easily upset though if she doesn't get her way and has learned to pout. She will stomp away, put her head down, fold her arms and start to cry. It just makes me laugh when she does it because it is so funny to watch. She loves books and many times I will find her in her room looking at books. She especially loves it when Carson will read her books and when Kaylee will go through a book and talk about the pictures with her. It is so sweet to see the older kids help her out and be kind to her. I wish Preston was as nice to her, but those two still haven't figure out how to get along. They are constantly making each other scream. But I guess that is what happens when they are only 18 months a part and still both so young!
We sure love our Livy Lou and we can't wait to see how she learns and grows throughout the next year. Here are the pictures I took of her last week. She was such a character. Towards the end, I think she was tired of me saying "Livy, look at mommy", because she kept telling me to be quiet....so notice the last picture of her shushing me! So funny! Love ya Livy!!!
