Happy Easter!

Here they are on Easter morning. They scored quite the loot from the Easter Bunny! Livy, of course, loved the plastic eggs more than anything else in her basket...

Random Acts of Silly-ness...

~Funny things seem to keep happening on our way back home from Utah drives. This time, when Livy woke up - without anyone saying anything to her - she declares to me, "Mommy! I'm not dead! I'm not dead, Mom!" (???) What in the world was she dreaming about!?! haha (July '10)
~On our way back home from Utah, Livy had passed out for like 3 hours. And then to let us know she woke up, she yelled, "Ta-da!" It was hilarious! (April '10)
~My whole family was at Red Robin waiting to go inside and Livy saw some older girls sitting on a bench and she went and talked to them and ended up sitting next to them. But she wouldn't move her body when she sat down and then she (without moving her head) shifted her eyes from side to side as they were wide open. It was so funny! (April '10)

Funny TEENY Conversations

(Livy's eating yogurt at the table and Adam crawls up begging for some.)
Adam: Waaaaaaaah!!!
Livy: Okay, chill out! Here you go!
Adam: (More screaming)
Livy: CHILL OUT! Here you go!

(We were video chatting with Luke and Andrea - Out of nowhere and in no way related to our conversation...)
Liv: I like dogs.
(Another 5 minutes pass of random conversation and Liv blurts something else out...)
Liv: I like dinosaurs.
***
(Matt was helping Liv go poop)
Liv: It's stinky, Dad. It makes me feel weird.
***
(Livy walked in on Matt going to the bathroom)
Liv: What's going on in here!?!
***
Liv: Mom, give it to me right now! Give it to me! I'm being mean! Give it to me!
Me: You're being mean?
Liv: Yes.
***
(Livy wanted to hold Matt's hand at the store)
Matt: You want me to hold your hand while I'm holding you?
Liv: (Laughing) No that would be weird.
***
(Matt was tickling Liv at the store)
Liv: Dad, just chill out for a minute!
***
Livy: Look Mommy!
Me: What?
Livy: I put a diaper over my underwear. It's not naughty, it's funny!
***
Me: (In the car) Okay, Liv, we're going to the store!

Livy: Don't forget coupons!

***

Me: Livy, why don't you go potty real quick?
Liv: I can't, Mom! I no have penis!
Me: ???
***
Me: Livy, are you pooping?
Liv: No, I not pooping. I just relaxing.
