Our little Liv turned 6 months old today! She is as sweet as ever and still as light as a feather. She has loved eating cereal and is about to try bananas, sweet potatoes and avocados. Her newest discovery is her toes-they make the perfect between mealtime snack. She prefers to stand instead of sit and enjoys the bouncy game. She loves her brothers and sister and saves all her giggles for them.
This weekend Northwest Arkansas was covered in snow! It was a wonderful, long weekend. Friday, the kids played out back and caught snowflakes on their tongues. We got about 8 inches of snow at our house and could hardly open our front door! We made our first-ever batch of snow ice cream and loved it, especially Nate and Will. Will kept saying it was the "bestest ice cream he's ever had."
Playing in the "blizzard"!
Warm and Snug
Saturday, Nate helped a friend put down some flooring and dropped me and the kids off at my parents' for some sledding fun. Ryan, Chi Chi and Brady were there too, making it even better. Rachel took lots of cute pictures of the kids and I in action. We sledded, built a "fort" and a special snowman for Nanny's front yard. If you know my mom, she loves snowmen and has collected lots of them over the years. She had a lovely real one for a few days at least! We ate lots of great food, sat around and played games all day.

I stole these from Rachel's blog...can you tell a difference in quality???
Sunday, we made it to church and ate at Jose's for lunch (We are becoming regulars!). While at Jose's, Liv pooped through all of her clothes...she had on tights and there was literally poop down to her toes! (sorry if that's too much info!) Being the always prepared mother that I am, I had no spare clothes to put her in, so my baby was naked (wrapped in a blanket) in the freezing cold! Bad Mommy! We finished Sunday with some long time friends, catching up and letting the kids run out of energy.
Liv...after I cleaned up the remains of her poopy mess and got some clothes on her...little stinker!
Monday, I stayed home with the kids and our cousin Nykile. There was lots of dress up, Legos, movies and play doh! That night Liv ate rice cereal for the first time. I think she liked it. Hard to believe its time to start the solid food journey with her. We ended the evening with a little family rockband....a great, long winter weekend!
Everything is a family affair...
