6 Month Wrap Up

For the two of you who actually read this, enjoy!!!  :)  Alivia's six month birthday found us thinking about all of the things that we have done with her so far in such a short amount of time.  With Tony back at work and volleyball started, there's a lot of Liv and Mom time.  I'm so glad to be spending this time with her.  Here are some memorable events from month 6.
