Livy Meets Santa and Gives Thanks

This was quite an intense Thanksgiving week. We were lucky to have a lot of family come and visit us! So gear up and get ready for a fun-filled, lengthy post...


So I was at the mall with Livers and my dad the day before Thanksgiving and we passed Santa and there was NO ONE in line so we were like SCORE! Anyway, Livy freaking loved Santa. She totally chilled with him the entire time. It was so funny. Also, her shoes rock my world.

For Livy's first Thanksgiving, we chilled with the whole Wiseman fam-damily. Here we all are on Thanksgiving morning - starving waiting for the food! We hide it well.

Here's Livers with all of her cousins. So cute!

Here she is with her only other girl cousin, Gabrielle. She was so freaking cute with her!

I love that Matt's dad was able to catch this on camera. She does this with her fingers ALL OF THE TIME.

Here's Livy's latest palette of injuries. It's always her poor little face! The top bruise came from a huge smack on Ben's table and then she scraped her cheek during a nap! Poor kid - and of course she does this days before we take a nice family picture...

Also, some of Matt's familia had never been to see the lights at Temple Square - so this was our next adventure. Here's Livy completely bundled up - somehow she was happy!

Here's an awesome picture that Aunt Amy took of our cute little family by the lights! They're so freaking cool! It almost looks like it's been super-imposed.

Classic Livy - during this Thanksgiving she took her fake laugh to a whole new level. Now when anyone takes a picture of her she does this quick weird fake smile thing for like a second and then she's done. It's so funny!

THE END. We hope all of you had a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Our Little Princess

So today we were looking in Livers' closet for a dress and we stumbled on this one. It looked huge, but when we put it on her it fit perfectly! And it's the cutest freaking dress EVER! Thank you Steve and Michelle. (Let's be honest - thanks Michelle... heaven knows Steve probably had very little to do with this...haha)

I can't get over how big she looks in this dress!


Here's another awesome outfit - having girls is so fun!

Livy's been our little Mogley lateley. And if you don't get that reference you need to be exposed to Disney more! Anyway, she's always getting into this position. Then she puts her head on the floor and acts like she's going to do a front roll. She's our little ShawnJohn.

She's also our little suicidal maniac lately. She is constantly trying to fall off of ANYTHING head first. Oh the joys. The poor kid has bruises all over her face and head. When will you learn, Livy!!!

Here's Matt and Livers just watchin' a little football. Tender daddy-daughter moments.

So we got to watch our little nephew, Jake, the other night. He is freakin' huge! It's awesome. He's 3 months younger than Livy and I'm pretty sure he weighs more than her. She looked like a little monkey compared to him. She also wouldn't leave us alone when we were holding him. This kid's going to be a very jealous big sister. Let's just hope she's not as intense as I was and tries to choke her younger siblings...


I love this kid's cheeks!

Talk radio agitates me.

Well, much has changed since our little one became a crawler. Mainly she has about 5 new bruises on her forehead, she's pulled a tree and a mirror on her several times, and we've been forced to remove our tree and coffee table from our living room. We take it back! We don't want her to crawl! I miss when she wasn't mobile! And then comes walking... ah!!!!!

Anywho, we have some awesome pictures for you all. (It's a long post, I understand if you give up halfway through. However, I'm feeling particularly funny tonight so I would see it thought to the end if I were you.)

Our friends, the Matthews, joined us today to watch the BYU game against Airforce. 34-28 suckers! Anyway, their little one, Skyler, is just a couple weeks younger than Livy and they are in love, we decided. They love to play at church together. Matt tells me they play footsie together and fight over bottles. This picture isn't from today, but it illustrates perfectly, what usually happens. Livy's always way too forward and Skyler usually ends up crying. I'm scared to see what she's going to be like with boys when she gets older...

Nothing makes Livers happier than a toothbrush. She LOVES them, it's hilarious. Maybe she'll be the dentist instead of Matt.

This is Livers' new fake laugh. It is SO funny! She does it all the time. She closes her eyes and smiles real big and tilts her head back while laughing. But she doesn't really laugh she just exhales really loud over and over. Oh man, you have to see it.
And this awesome toy is the reason Matt can't be trusted to go to Costco by himself. It's crazy. It does numbers, letters, colors, textures, etc. It also talks in English and Spanish! But there's a creepy butterfly that always says "Touch my wings, they're such special things!" First of all, it's creepy because it's in a man's voice and that is just creepy to hear from a man... And second of all - if you touch a butterfly's wings - it doesn't fly anymore! What are we teaching these kids!
This was hilarious. The other night, I was showing Livers pictures of herself on Matt's iphone. And everytime a new picture popped up - she would kiss herself! Ha! Oh Livy, you're so vain.
Here's Livers' favorite thing to do with Matt. He jumps up and down with her on his shoulders and she laughs like crazy! We stole this awesome game from the Matthews.
Here's the story of my life lately and coincidentally the reason for Livy's numerous bruises. This girl tries to climb up on everything! Also, aren't you loving her cute little shoe! Thank you, Andrea.
I came home the other night after a meeting and here's how I found Matt putting Livers to bed. He props her up with her bottle while he chows down on some food. It was funny to me. That's all.
Here's this awesome snow suit my mom gave us. It reminds us of two things: 1 - Maggie's star snow suit from The Simpsons and 2 - the little brother from Christmas Story. Classic!
I love everything about this picture. I love the little onesie with I love NY in rhinestones; and her sparkly earrings; and her sparkly clip in the hair; and my Tiffany's necklace around her neck. This kid has expensive taste.
Okay so this gross blue headband is my "cleaning headband." I always wear it when I start scrubbing the house down. Matt put it on her this morning and told me she looks homely. I asked, "How does she look homely?" To which he replied, "She just looks like she's going to go do some homemaking." Ha! I love that Matt and his siblings - throughout their childhood - thought that calling a women homely means that the woman looks like a pioneer...
And here's Livy after her bath tonight. She looks like an old man with a five-head. I love her expression.

She can crawl! She can crawl! She can crawl!

(The title was suppose to be sung like "We Can Fly" in Peter Pan...)

Anywho - Livy's an official crawler! Not just army style anymore! It's so crazy. And she did it today on her 7 month birthday! Woo!

Here's another fun mystery of Livy that I don't think I'll ever really figure out. But the other day I put Livers on the ground for a second and left the room and when I came back I didn't see her anywhere, but I could hear her. I looked under our coffee table and here's what I found! Her expression screams CAUGHT RED HANDED! Haha. I have no idea how she got here.

Here's a cute little moment with Livers and Matt. She's so cuddly lately. We love it!

I can't get enough!

Okay, so I got as much use out of this costume as humanly possible. And here's yet another picture that my neighbor took of Livy at our ward Halloween party. I love everything about it - even though the little punk wouldn't smile!

My baby can clap!

Okay, I know it's such a small thing, but Livy claps now and it's so cute!!! She's always been obsessed with us when we were clapping and now she does it herself! I seriously almost got emotional. She's getting so big so fast! Ah!

Livers hates baby food and so we'll give her whatever we're eating for dinner. The other night it was pancakes which it turns out is one of her favorite foods. She ate an entire pancake in minutes! It was so funny.

Here's the ghetto version of play toys to help Livy learn how to pull herself up to standing... What is it, you ask? Just her car seat turned over - she loves it! Ha!
Both faces on here are priceless.
Last night, Livers was being super cuddly with me. So cute!
