Vacation Week and The 4th of July
Rachel and Luke came to visit! We went up north and stayed in a cabin near Mesick, saw a bear, took a little hike on the Manistee, took a trip to Traverse City, and then off to Saginaw for The 4th of July.
Snuggles with Papa & Grandma Green
June 13, 2014: Second set of tubes and adenoids out
Olivia did a great job pre-surgery, and of course during, since she was put under anesthesia. When they called us back she was pretty upset since she was coming out of anesthesia and being held by a male nurse with a huge white beard! It took her a while to calm down, but a purple popsicle really did the trick. Until she saw the stick poke through her popsicle, then it was all over again! She is doing great today and back to her normal silly self! Hopefully, that will be the last visit to the hospital for a long time!

Half Birthday! 2.5! Olivia and Mommy Day :-)
Today was a special mommy and Livy date day! I later realized it was also her half birthday! 2 1/2 :-) We had lunch at her favorite spot, Panera. We had ice cream, played at the park, and then home to play in the sprinkler!
May 2014
We've had a busy May so far! We spent Mother's Day Eve in the hospital with a bad case of croup. She had a rough night, but did really well for a 2 year old! On the plus side, she got to order pancakes and a banana in the morning! Thankfully, she is all better now. Olivia got to sleep in her first big girl bed at Great Gram's house, and is now looking forward to getting one at home.

My Lucky Charm
Valentine's Day 2014
My little bear is getting so big. She is saying full sentences, pretty close to being potty trained, starting to eat veggies again, can count to 12, can sing the ABC's, calls herself "Eye-Ah" instead of Olivia, she loves to sing and dance, and she is very sweet and loving. Her favorite foods are bananas, cottage cheese, yogurt, toast and peanut butter, and bread and cheese. We are still a bit dependent on her paci, but we are working on it. Common phrases: "What is it?" "Why? Okay. Why? Okay." "I hold you" (instead of hold me), "I like it," "Thanks for cookin," "I have it?" It seems that her favorite color is purple, or "people" as she pronounces it.

Generational Outfit
Mommy, Aunt Katie, and Livy now all have pictures in this outfit.
Olivia is 1!!!
My mom and I made Livy's birthday cake the night before and I was planning on frosting it in the morning. I woke up at 6 am because I was so excited to set the table for her party. When Livy woke up Adam and I sang to her while she danced in her crib. She played with family all day, opened all of her gifts, and then it was time for CAKE! I never imagined that Livy would be TERRIFIED of her birthday cake. I made her a giant cupcake and she wanted nothing to do with it. She finally warmed up to the idea of small cupcake and she ate it right up!
Learning to like leaves and grass!
My little pumpkin!
11 Months :-)
She's walking, and getting better everyday! She is also getting into everything, kitchen cupboards, drawers, and even the toilet! Livy has also become pretty good at throwing fits. She still loves all food, except green veggies of course... She is more fun everyday, I can't believe she is almost 1!
She walks!!! :-)
Cheering DaDa on at his half marathon!
10 Months!
At 10 months, Livy is working on her 6th tooth. She is eating all grown up food. She loves fruit, carrots, green beans, yogurt, cheerios, and pretty much any thing else! She is walking with her push cart, but not on her own yet. I can't believe she is so old!!! On 10/20, 4 days before she turned 11 months, she started taking steps on her own!!
Walking with my push cart! :-)
9 Months!
At 9 months, Livy is saying "tickle, tickle, tickle." She loves giving kisses, which sometimes involve a bite! No walking yet, but pretty close. She loves to walk with a push cart, and is a pro at turning it around. She loves having her teeth brushed. She is a fan of "big people" fruit, but hates veggies that are not pureed, except green beans.
I'm 8 Months Old!
At 8 months, Livy is crawling everywhere, pulling herself up, taking a few steps if we hold her hands, and trying to climb stairs (ahh!). She has 5 teeth. Her favorite word is still dada, but she sometimes says mama, bop, nana, and yah. She loves taking baths, going for strolls, pulling the dogs hair, and getting kisses from the dog. So far, my favorite age :-)
7.5 Months, I can crawl!!
First time to Lake Michigan (South Haven)
A bow for every outfit :-)
Royer Vacation/4th of July
7 months!
At 7 months Livy is finally rolling over. She can now get anywhere by rolling, scooting, and butt bouncing. No crawling yet (until 7.5 months). She slept on her tummy for the first time. She calls everything and everyone dada. She has said mama a few times in desperation. She loves computers, cell phones, and remote controls. Livy has her two bottom teeth, and now a top tooth and a third bottom tooth are breaking through. At the end of month 7, she is crawling and getting into everything!
Summer time with Mommy and Daddy!!
6 Month Doctor Visit
At her 6 month check up, she weighed 18 pounds 12 ounces and was 27 inches long.
6 Months!
At 6 months, Livy is sitting up all by herself! She is saying "da-da and ba-ba." She HATES peas (later in the 6 month she decided she likes peas)! She loves dogs, and she loves Molly kisses. Her favorite songs are The Olivia Theme Song, Sweet Potato (made up by mommy), and Splish Splash at bath time. She just started to enjoy peek-a-boo, but once you start playing she will not allow you to stop! She loves hugging mom and dad, and has made a game out of it. At the end of her 6 month, I feel a tooth!
Mother's Day 2012
5 months old!
At 5 months, Livy loves oatmeal. She loves it so much she kicks her feet the entire time she is eating it. She is starting to try to grab for the spoon and the bowl. She likes carrots, but is not a fan of green beans. She has found her feet and enjoys sucking on her toes. She LOVES her Exersaucer, pulling hair and earrings, and she is starting to give hugs and kisses!!!
More 4 months.... :0)
Livy's First Easter
4 months :-)
At Olivia's 4 month check-up, she weighed 13.5 pounds (50th percentile) and was 25.5 inches tall (90th percentile). She is very interested in food, and loving rice cereal. She is finally starting to enjoy tummy time, she is holding her head up well, trying to roll over, smiling all the time, starting to giggle, loves to "talk" which sounds more like a screaming bird, and she is getting quite the personality!
