Livi Girl: Big Baby

livi girl what?

You may be wondering about the name "livi girl." When I first started with this whole online community stuff, I wanted to maintain some anonymity (and yet I put up pictures of my boys for all to see?). But when you choose an online user name for yourself, you are choosing an identity, one name to tell others who you are. So I had to ask myself - who am I? I wanted my user name to go beyond my job as a housewife or mother because I so often get caught up in those jobs that I forget there's more to me. So I didn't go for "mom of 2" or "domestic goddess." But I wanted my name to be meaningful and larger in scope. What is truly most important in my life? Well, the obvious answer is God. And the attributes of God most important to my life are love and peace. So I went to a baby names website and looked up names meaning peace. Livi was one of the names and it seemed lively and energetic, so that's how I came to have the user name "livi girl."

Big Baby

So at his check up this morning, Carter weighed in at 13lbs. 15 oz, which puts him in the 90% and means he gained over 3 pounds in one month. He was 23.5 inches long, 75%. He had his first round of shots today. He took the first shot without a flinch, but he didn't really like the the next 2 shots. Since then he's been a bit fussy, but basically sleeping it off.
