For Russanne and Kyle

Russanne and Kyle moved to Boston and few weeks ago and thought they could use a little Liv!

ONE!!

Its a bit late but it would only make since that we mention...OUR LITTLE GIRL IS ONE! It blows my mind. Of course I am a few days late posting but I was waiting for her one year old photo session. Here is a little of what this girl is doing. Not walking but crawling and pulling up like a mad women. I seriously think she is afraid to fall the two feet to the ground and hit her diapered bum, cause if she is standing and loses her balance she hyperventilates...she is just not ready, but we so are!! She is talking, learning new words everyday. List...

Dah (dog)

Wa Wa (water)

Nana (all food, bananas, snacks and my cousin Hannah)

Men (amen, this one is so cute, she says is as soon as we start closing a prayer or right at the end and she is folding her arms too)

She shakes her head yes and no...a lot!

If you ask her if she wants lunch a snack or food she say "MMM"

She knows her dog and cat sounds..."uf uf" and "row"

She knows where her ears, nose mouth and head are, and she will point to your teeth and say "tee."

She has more words but those are the regulars...but if you ask her to say new words she tries as hard as she can to pronounce them in her language.

She loves reading her books by herself or when mom and dad are with her

Her favorite foods are strawberries, bananas, asparagus, soygurt (soy yogurt, its not good but she thinks it is the best thing to ever happen) turkey, turkey dogs, pretty much meat of any kind, kix, Cheerios, anything sweet we can find that has no milk or eggs which is not very often so when she gets sweets she is in heaven, she likes anything sour, pretty much if she is not allergic to it she will eat it, so far not having a picky eater is a dream!

This girl loves to dance she loves to sing and even though you can't understand her, she jabbers ALL the time. She squeals and laughs at the weirdest times, ps she has a little growl-grinch laugh! She has six teeth with another on the way, she points to everything and then will hold up a number one, along with the one finger...you guessed it she puts her finger right up her nose, not picking it of course she just found a hole in her nose. She has the girliest-feminine wave using only her hand and wrist. Liv can play by herself forever, which is awesome but I feel guilty sometimes not spending more time with her. She is a professional stair climber, down needs a little practice though. Liv loves playing in piles of blankets and pillows being outside, swinging and playing with other kids. So much I am sure. We love this girl so much and can't wait for another year!

This last picture is of her playing peek a boo with the chair, it was the best ever, her thinking she could hind behind this chair, we played for like five minutes!

Best Ever...

So I waited and waited and then waited some more, and SHE is finally here! Don't judge but I may have been more excited about this delivery than my own, makes sense though cause I was not the one in pain! PS, Jon already knows but, this man below is totally, totally the second love of my life!

Alright...It's Time

These were taken the day before she turned nine months, just a treat. Liv is at the cutest stage, seriously she gets better and better each day, is that possible? She has a love affair with food, she sleeps most nights 12 hours, she rarely crys, is always smiling, will give you kisses when you ask for them, will wave at you and melt your heart, listens when you tell her no, or "ah-ah" as we say it, feed herself(with her fingers of course) and can fully entertain herself for hours, best girlie ever. We will posts pictures of our house one day, but as one again I am signing in from my parents, nine month preview pictures are the extent. What a whirlwind month with remodeling the house, the computer officially breaking-time for a new one, mobile baby, and food allergies. Oh don't you worry, she is just allergic to milk, eggs, wheat, peanuts and dogs, what do we feed her you ask, fruits, veggies and meat...who knew parents who have absolutely no allergies could produce such a wonder! Hopefully she grows out of them!! She's a doll, life is great and tax returns are awesome!

Russanne and Kyle Married

On October 17th Russanne and Kyle were married, they weather was perfect, everything was just right and both the bride and groom were glowing. After they were sealed the sealer asked the groom the grab Sister Sasser, (yep that's right her name is Russanne Sasser it still makes us laugh when we say it) and he smiling said, "holy" because it shocked him so much to hear her name, and he said it in a I can't believe that is her name kind of way. As he grabbed her she was just bouncing she was so excited, I mean literally bouncing. The day was amazing but we are all glad the craziness is over. Kyle and Russanene are still glowing and so happy to finally be married. We only have a few shots of the bride and groom, I am not going to lye, Jon was in charge of getting the shots and he did not get too many. So I will post ours now, but our friend who took our family pics did their wedding so when she posts those so will I!! Congrats you two we love you both. Oh and my favorite part of weddings is to look at the bride and groom right when they are walking out of the temple, you can see the pure joy on their faces, look at these two. The bottom pic is not the best but it was one of the two together.

Family Pics and 6 Months

Are you serious Liv is six months old, aaaahhhh, where has the time gone! Her appointment is on Wednesday so I am not quite sure how big she is, but she still is barely fitting into her 3-6month clothes so she is still pretty tiny. But she has been pacing on the chubs lately what with her new love for food. She eats like a champ the first time I fed her food from a spoon, she made no faces, in fact I am pretty sure her thoughts were "thanks mom for finally giving me real food!" Then last night we gave her carrots for the first time because she has been on cereal for a month and still no faces. We got all ready to film the funny faces she would make, and nothing, she love food, she is officially is addicted. She has been sitting up for a few weeks now, she loves rolling all over the place, she reaches for everyone, I am not just saying this because I am her mom, but because other people comment on it all the time, but she is the smiliest, happiest baby ever, she is such a good girl and other people recognize it so its true! I don't know how I lucked out so well. Liv loves to read and play with her toys, but most of all she loves people, she got that quality from her dad, not that I don't love people but that they are attracted to people and new people everywhere. To me it is one of the greatest qualities they have.A week ago we had our friend take some family pictures of us. We had a cold snap come through so by the end of our session, which had to be quick because of the weather, we were all freezing and Liv was screaming, she was a trooper. So on Monday Liv and I went to my friends in-home studio and had her 6 month pictures taken, we love all of them so much, she is so talented! These are the few we have seen, I can't wait to see all of them!

4 Months old...actually almost 5 now

So I don't have to upload tons of pics because they were sent to me. This is me signing in from my parents...still no Internet at home! At Liv's four month appointment she was tiny, I mean super tiny. Weight 11lbs 10oz, height 25in, and we had to go to the doctor yesterday and she is 12lbs fully clothed and full of food. I love how tiny she is, petite little girl, Love it. Here are some of her 4 month pictures.
