Daddy's Day!

Yes, I am holding a bird. Don't have a heart attack, dear readers. :) There was a thing at the Tulsa Zoo called "Feather Fest" where you could go in and feed parakeets, finches, and parrots. I managed to not have an anxiety attack inside. Livy liked the birds, but she didn't understand why she couldn't pet them. There was a hose mister inside, and Livy was more interested in that. It was so hot! Wes chose to go to the zoo for Father's Day, so we headed over to Tulsa after church. We also go to eat at Jason's Deli! Yum!!

First pigtails! How cute is that? :)
Livy drew these pictures all by herself and then she told me what they were! I think they're pretty darn good. And imaginative, to boot.

All ready to go swimming at Nanny and Papaw's house.



Some more zoo pictures. This penguin was a baby, we think, born at the end of January. He (or she?) was very playful. Livy really enjoyed the penguins and sea lions.

First ponytail

She finally has enough hair for a real ponytail at the back of her head. How cute is it?? She looks like such a big girl with her hair pulled back like this.

Attitude with a capital "A"

Yes, Livy definitely has one. I'm exhausted trying to keep her in line sometimes. We'll figure it out, I'm sure. Or we'll be on SuperNanny in a few years. (My money's on SuperNanny, to tell you the truth!) :)
Anyway, here are some newer pictures. No videos lately, sorry. Livy is currently obsessed with: Clifford, shoes (imagine that!), going potty by herself (no longer allowed since she unrolled an entire roll of TP), helping Mommy and Daddy with anything and everything, WiiFit (as in "Are you gonna do WiiFit now, Mom?), boobies ("My boobies are small. But they'll get bigger!" Ha!), curling up with a blanket and a movie.


Happy Birthday, Beep Beep! Livy picked out those feather balls for him. She's really into presents for others right now. However, she then always says "What we gonna get for me?" :)











Yes, she double-fists her drinks. :)

Slight picture of the offending mermaid flip-flops. Also currently loving Bambi.























Fun at the Botanical Gardens with Daddy.


















I left her watching "101 Dalmatians". When I came back (just a few minutes later!), she was like this. Cutie pie!

Slave to fashion...

As you may or may not know, the Disney store at the mall is closing. Last week, Livy convinced Nanny to buy her some Ariel flip-flops. Livy has never been one for the flip-flop shoe, as she does not like the thing between her toes (and she has kinda chubby toes). However, she assured Nanny that she liked them and even tried them on in the store. The same day, I bought her some lime green Croc-type shoes at The Children's Place. My shoes, sadly, were the losers of the day. Not for long, though. :) Here's the conversations we have had about the two pairs lately... The first was on Wednesday afternoon, the second was today as we were about to leave for church.

Me: Livy, do you want to wear the mermaid shoes or the green shoes?
Livy: The mermaid ones.
Me: Are you sure?
Livy: Yes, the mermaid ones.
(We then go outside and start to water the plants. After about 2 minutes, the conversation resumes...)
Livy: Mom, I need go inside and change shoes.
Me: Livy, can you wait until I'm done watering the flowers?
Livy: No, these hurt my feet. I shoulda wore the geen ones...

Livy (holding up her Ariel flip-flops): Mom, is it okay if I wear these?
Me: Well, I thought you said they hurt your feet...
Livy: Yeah, but I can probly wear them anyway.

Ha! How funny is that? She also saw some "jelly" shoes tonight and wanted them. I said, "No, they'll hurt your feet." All I could think of was my wanting jelly shoes and my mom saying the EXACT same thing to me. The circle of life, huh? ;)
