Five Year Review - Part 1

     I decided to do a review of some of the major highlights from the past 5 years that I haven't blogged. The biggest thing that occurred was us welcoming this cute girl into our family!!

    We had some struggles with her pregnancy. She was breach and the doctors had to perform an external cephalic version to turn her so she could be birthed naturally. It worked; however, Livie was born with one foot by her head. The nurses commented about her going to be a dancer. She always wanted her feet by her head after she was born. to this day we tell everyone she is our happy dancer and that she just dances through life!

    Livie has been a wonderful blessing in our home! The boys love her. Sometimes they love on her a little too much or too hard but they love her a lot. She is definitely spoiled being the youngest and the only girl. It has changed the family dynamics a lot after having three boys. She loves to cuddle more. She is always giving hugs. She loves her unicorns, ponies, dolls, doing hair and all the other girl things. We are loving every bit of it. It will be interesting to see how things progress as the kids get older.

    From the beginning she has had her dad wrapped around her finger. She is my Livie Lou. I was always the tough one for sleep training. I would be the one to help Court not go in all the time. With Livie, I always went in whenever she cried out or wouldn't go to sleep. Even with me not being strong we got lucky in that she has always been a great sleeper. She even puts herself to bed at times. Now she has a big girl bed and is loving that. At first, even with the freedom to get up whenever she wanted, she still would wait in bed for us to come get her. She was definitely the best of our kids when it comes to sleeping. We lucked out.

    Right now almost three years later she is potty training. Livie is a rock star and has gone 3+ days without any accidents. She sleeps through the night dry. It has been awesome. No more kids in diapers. It is crazy to think that she starts preschool this Fall. She has grown up so fast.

    Livie loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Frozen and Frozen 2 (she watches these everyday). She loves to smell everything. She can be found happy dancing all over the place. She likes to help cook. She loves to clobber you with hugs. We love our Livie!
