Livvi and I had such a good day today. I have had the past two days off and we haven't done anything but hang out. It's kinda nice not to always be loading her in car and feeling like we are always on the go. Sometime I feel like that's all we do and I feel so guilty, like I am missing out and not giving her enough attention. We all know she is getting plenty of attention, especially from her sweet cousins Abby and Gracie. Livvi goes to Sunis house two times a week while I work, it is so nice to have family! She couldn't be in a better home and they just adore her over there! Thanks Suni for all you do! Today Livvi fed herself the bottle, to be honest I was a little sad. I felt like gosh she doesn't even need me to feed her anymore! (Dang it I went to put the pic of Livvi feeding herself and I downloaded them but I can't find it and it deleted it off my camera, o'well!) I seriously always have computer issues!

Livvi is getting so big, she is now 15lbs! She loves to roll over, chew on her hands, eat, play with her cousins, and talk. She is changing every day. She is now 4 months and I can't blieve it! She is still sweet as they come and I feel lucky to be her momma!

Summer is here...

So for Mothers Day, Phil surprised me with a 2 night stay in Scottsdale. We had so much fun! Livvi got to go swimming for the first time and she LOVED it! I was worried if 10 weeks was too young to be swimming but I figured we better try it...I was so excited to see if she going to like it or not. I know she likes her tubbies so I figured she would like it! The water was a little cold, so at first she gave us a few funny faces but once she got used to it she was full of smiles! We went again today at Suni's pool and still no cries...so I think we are going to have a swimmer on our hands!

I really need to learn how to do a slide show!!!

Today was such a special day. I think when Livvi woke up she knew it was her day because she couldn't stop smiling! I was so excited to get her dressed because my mom saved my blessing dress, blanket and hand crochet booties all these years so that is what Livvi got to wear. I thought that was so neat of my mom to do that, so special! Oh there was even a bonnet too, but we decided to go with the flower! Its funny to see how styles have changed in 29 years! Phil did such a wonderful job, it was his very first blessing! I was so proud of him! I've been asking him lately if he was getting nervous and he would say "not really". But last night I asked and he said, "YES"!!! You couldn't tell he did such a great job! What a sweet day it was! After the blessing we had lots of family and friends come over to eat some yummie mexican food, we had such a great time just hanging out and catching up! I wish we all got together more often, it was so fun! I think its just too much work. I couldn't of done it with out my sisters! Suni had me lined out in the kitchen with all the yummie recipes...there's no way I could of done it with out her and Casi was outside helping me with my lawn the night before! I have the best sisters in the world...where would I be without them! Where would I be with out my little Livvi, she is just sweet thru and thru! When I look at her she makes me want to be a better person! What a special day!

Our First Trip to Show Low

Livvi and I went to Show Low a couple weeks ago and had such a good time!I was wondering how Livvi would do with the drive and she was perfect, she never made a peep the entire drive. I can't believe how good of a baby she is, she is just so sweet! It was so fun to go home and just hang out with my parents, Sean & Mel and Casi and the boys! Dax had his first birthday and he was too cute, he just loved his cake! He is the sweetest little boy! While we were up there Livvi rolled over...twice for the firt time @ 7 weeks! She was on her tummy and rolled to her back, I couldn't believe it! It's always nice to go home, everytime I go up there I wonder why we don't go more often! Thanks mom and dad, there's no place like home!!!

First Shot

So I woke up this morning at 6:30 and felt like I could concur the world, I finally got 5 hours of sleep STRAIGHT! Thanks Phil for getting up with Livvi at 3:30! Gosh this is the best I have felt in a long time! Before I had Livvi if I didn't get 8 hours I felt exhausted! Boy how life changes! So today we had our one month check up along with a shot...yuck! I think the shot was a lot harder on me than it was on Livvi. She is so tough (she must take after her mother) she cried for like 2 seconds, looked at me with the saddest face and then was totally fine. She is just so dang sweet, she truly has been the best baby! So Livvi weighs 9lbs. and let me just tell ya this girl loves to eat! We are so happy she is finally gaining weight. I think the days of me worrying about her weight are over! She grew a whole 1.75 inches so she is now 21.75 inches tall, she is in the 75%, who knows where she is getting her height from??? The doctor said she is just perfect and we feel the exact same way!

It seems like the days go by so fast, too fast! I can't believe she is a month old. What a joy it has been! I have never felt so fulfilled in my life, its a wonderful feeling!

We got Livvi's pictures taken when she was ten days old and she was perfect through the entire thing. We were able to move her in different positions, change her outfits and bows and she slept through the entire thing! We were hoping to get a few with her eyes open but she pretty much sleeps most of the time unless she is hungry. I would love to post all the pictures cause they are all my favorite but I thought I better not! She sure has been such a sweet joy, I feel so blessed! There truly is no greater love than a mothers love. Its amazing how it immediately comes over you when you hear their first sweet cry.

Our lil Livvi Grace is finally here

So everyone has been telling me...now that I have become a mom I need to start blogging! Well I guess I will give it a shot! I'm not very good on the computer, poor Phil is always helping me. Anways I was induced on Feb 28 and tried so hard to have her come naturally for 50 hours but who's counting...right?!? I guess us Seymore girls are meant to have c-sections! And boy am I glad that I did! It has been such an easy recovery, I can't believe how good I have been feeling! I guess when you have such a sweet lil girl to wake up to, crying or no crying it makes all the aches and pains go away. She finally came on March 2, 2009 at 10:36am. She weighed 7.86lbs and was 20in long. What an amazing experience! I feel so blessed to be able to be a mom, it has been the sweetest thing I have ever experienced! Phil has been such a good daddy, I always knew he would be. I took a total of 14 weeks off and I can't believe how fast it's going by, the thought of going back to work makes me so sad! So I'm trying to enjoy every second I have! My family has been so sweet and helpful, I couldn't of done it with out them! I've got a great mom and two wonderful sisters that are amazing parents that I can turn to for advice, so thanks you guys!
