Happy Birthday my Livi

My baby turns 1 on Wednesday and it breaks my heart!  I can't believe that it has been one year since I was rushed to the hospital to be induced when my blood pressure was so high... since I secretly prayed that everything would be okay... since we decided to spell her name Alivia in honor of life and being alive... since I held that 3lb 12oz baby and marveled at how small she was...  She is now crawling, pulling herself up, and standing for seconds on her own.  She eats more than Sophia and Liam put together.  She is learning to assert her own independence.  She is beautiful and happy and is adored by my little family.  Happy Birthday my baby...







I love this one of her chasing Liam, trying to get her toy back.

That last one kills me. Try as she may, I don't think she'll ever be able to beat up on him.
