Tomorrow I'll be heading out of town for 3 days and 3 nights. Sounds simple but I'm scared and I'm sad and I'm excited (for Daddy to bond with baby) all at once.
Happy Daddy bonding with Happy Livy - for now...
All in all, there's no place I'd rather be then wherever Olivia is and I'm going to miss her dearly when gone.
(as you can see she's a bit scared too).
So, in the spirit of saying goodbye for a few days I've logged onto the blog to post a few recent pictures and a few videos so that I can watch them over and over while gone.
In the last few weeks Livy is starting to do some amazing things (ok, maybe just amazing to me because I'm her mom but I'm going to share them anyway).
Some of the more 'cute' things are her taking her pacifier out of her mouth (will need to get a video) and thinking she can get it back in....and she can, 1 out of every 10 tries.
She also has signs of becoming a bulimic. Often if she's without her pacifier (at times she even spits it out just to do this) she'll stick her hand in her mouth with her little index finger straight out and cause herself to gag. She'll do it again and again. I'll pull her hand out of her mouth and her extended little index finger will slowly curl with the others into a little fist (as if she's hiding the evidence) then slowly she'll put her hand back in her mouth while extending that index finger again. The sound isn't pleasant but its certainly funny to watch (maybe not the greatest video to try to get but hey, that's what being parents is all about...getting too bribery material for later in life).
Other little ACCIDENTAL milestones are her 'rolling over' and 'crawling'.
We don't have a video for the rolling over. She did it twice in a row and by the time we got the video camera out she wouldn't do it again but she did 'crawl' (granted on her belly the entire time with no arm movements but it was forward motion nonetheless).

Another video taken the same day. Here's Livy bouncing around in her jolly jumper. While we haven't spent much time in it we will be soon and we've been giving her a taste of what's to come. Once Grandpa Dave gets here (tomorrow) we're going to have him mount the jumper in the living room so that she's not stuck jumping in the hallway all the time.
Livy 'tricked out' in clothes/boots Grandma Helen sent. She loves the toque and the boots are rockin'. Can't wait till she can walk in them.

oh my goodness, she is too little to be that mobile! You have one smart little girl on your hands. What size is she wearing now? Best of luck on your 3 days away, remember she will be fine and it's going to be harder on you than her. Thank goodness for technology so you can watch her videos, here is hoping the 3 days goes very fast for you.
