Happy New Year!

In December we made another trip to Texas to visit my family. Lyv got to meet some more cousins... Becca, Izzy, and Little Mike. Little Mike is just 9 days younger than Lyv, so it was fun to see them side by side. Here's a pic of Abigail, Little Mike, Becca, Lyv, and Izzy:



Here's a pic of just Lyv and Little Mike:

And just for kicks, here's a pic of Lyv's other cousin (on the Clymer side), Clara. Clara is about 3 weeks younger than Lyv and this photo was taken in mid-December when we flew out to Pennsylvania. Clara's mom, Rachel, just happened to have matching outfits that we put the girls in.... too cute!
The other big event was on New Year's Eve when we gave Lyv her first rice cereal feeding. She loved it immediately and as soon as she took the first bite, she helped it down by sucking on her thumb. She quickly developed a habit of taking a spoonful, then taking her thumb, then taking a spoonful, then taking her thumb, etc.
