Fun with FaceTime

Viv had a wonderful FaceTime chat with Uncle Layton and Aunt Dayna today. After they logged off, we had some more fun making FaceTime faces!

What a difference a year makes . . .

Viv Turns 2!

Viv's 2nd birthday was a smashing success! We celebrated her special day with Mimi, Papa, Grandma Sue, Papa Fink, Aunt Dayna and Uncle Layton, and Aunt Diana and cousins Ben and Adam.

Aunt Dayna was our photographer for the festivities, which included:

Banners!

Cupcakes!

A Sober Birthday Girl (with Measuring Cup!)

Bubbles!

Close ups!

Happiness!

What a wonderful day!

Viv the Builder

We thought she'd lost interest in tower building, but this week she began to stack again with renewed fervor!

Curls!

Bath curls 

Curls on the go 

Post-nap curls

Friends

Viv has become very attached to one of her dollies and her bunny from Grandma Sue. 

Other friends come and go, but her bunny and dolly remain her constant companions. 

When I check on her at night she's usually curled up with one under each arm.

This is Viv's response when we tell her we're headed to the park!

Viv and I just got back from a wonderful trip to Utah. More photos to follow!

Viv woke up from today's nap with a whole new hairstyle! Very fetching, don't you think?

We spent most of the chilly, rainy weekend indoors. Viv stayed warm and cozy in her sweater from Grandma Sue!

We read lots of books:





Built many impressive block towers:



And honed our multitasking skills:



And we were so glad when Daddy came home from working overtime!



All in all, a very lovely weekend.

Towering Viv

Viv's latest obsession is block stacking.













We start her off with the first few blocks, but the rest she does all by herself!
