Livi's 2!

 Liv turned 2 at the end of May and, like all of our children, she's very good at being two. In other words, she's alternately adorable and difficult (mostly adorable, though, as you can see in these pictures). 

To celebrate her birthday, Elena made a caterpillar piñata, which lasted through several children....it only made it through one 12-year-old boy, unfortunately, so the other two who were present did not get a chance to hit. 

 Here are a few of Livi's most common doings/sayings at 2.

- 'Eat! Eat!" and "Is that nummy?" at supper time, when she scoops up the food of whoever is sitting next to her (usually Frank or Charlie) and force feeds it to them. She herself barely eats anything and seems to be growing on just a few bites of food here and there throughout the day.

- "So cute!" usually said to her dolls as she rocks them or puts her sunglasses on them

- "Go away!" and "Stop it!" are fairly frequent when she wants to be left alone by her older siblings or when Coco gets too close for her liking

- "Oh, come on!" when something goes wrong

- "DA DA DA DOP KIDS DOP DOP!" this is more or less her imitation of Seth if he gets after the kids for something. She usually stands right next to him and joins in the scolding, pointing her finger at the kids with a stern face. It makes it pretty hard not to laugh.

I'll leave you with a video of her daily story-time with Dad.
