So here's another cluster post of pictures. We'll keep working on the video - not sure whey they're not posting... I'll see if Aaron can try again tonight.
Happy girl in the sunshine :).
After we she eats, I always give her her bottle - as much as she'll drink anyway. So here she is hangin' with daddy.
It was SO nice yesterday that we had to go for a stroller ride.
Here she is coming through her little tunnel toy. Also, the barrette fighting a losing battle :).
I did it!
"How big is Livie?!?... So Big!" She likes this one and will smile. And she's "so big" having now reached 10 months.
Aaron thinks she gave him a kiss today. He said she leaned over with her mouth open touched his mouth - sounds like a baby kiss to me :). Our challenge is still sleep. It seems like stress or sadness manifest in her sleep. She'll seem fine at the time, but the true test is how she'll sleep that night. Last night we didn't do the greatest. She woke up in a fit at 11:30 and then was up from 4-6 this morning. She woke up at 7:30 this morning, and Aaron and I just struggled out of bed. There she was just smiling away! No problems here! :). But technically Saturday night she did sleep through the night - she woke up at 5, but she did sleep through the night. But we're doing well. We're making strides in attachment from what I can tell. I don't think we're all the way there yet, but I continue to see progress and ways that she'll come to us or turn to us. I'm always encouraged by those things.
So there's another healthy dose of the baby - we'll continue to keep you posted! We love you all.

You don't know me, but I got your blog address from a friend. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. I just wanted to recommend a book for you about babies and sleep (if you are interested). Its called "Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child" by Marc Weissbluth. It is very helpful, but I also know or can imagine that your situation is a little different then the average baby (with the time change for your little one, the new people and everything). But I just thought I would put it out there if you are interested. Good luck and God Bless. We will be praying for a full nights sleep for your entire family.
Seriously, you guys could not be a more beautiful family - in so many ways.
She is so stinkin' cute; if we had arranged marriages in our culture, I would suggest we arrange Caleb and Liv. :-)
Thanks for the package; LOVED it. :-)
Love you guys,
sara
It is SO FUN to see all the pics of the 3 of you! I absolutely cannot wait to meet her!! Only 2 more weeks:)

P.S. On the video posting, I had a problem once where I was publishing the post under the wrong tab - when you draft there's one tab that says "compose" and one that says "edit html." I can't remember which is which, but I remember posting in one and just getting a box with an x in it. Hope that helps!
Love all the pink! She is too cute and looks like you guys are having lots of fun.
The nights will come... it really hasn't been that long yet, she's probably doing really well considering everything.
I also had trouble posting video... I can't do it when I'm signed on to AOL. It will only post when I'm signed into Mozilla Firefox. Don't know if that helps either.
Take care!!

Love these pics! I think it's funny that your baby has more hair than my two and a half year old!
Love,
Karen
She is too cute!! Thanks for the pics. We still have the "lost battle" with Rachel (at almost 3!) over barettes and other hair things. Good luck finding something that will stay in! :)Love you!
