Alivia had a wonderful first Christmas. We spent the week in Pittsburgh with Alivia's Grandma and Grandpap. On the Tuesday before Christmas Alivia got her picture taken with Santa Claus at the mall. On Wednesday, Alivia's aunt ,Michelle, and cousins, Corey and Isaiah, spent the night with us. Alivia enjoyed watching the boys play Rock Band so much that she refused to go to sleep. On Christmas day we went to Alivia's great grandfather's house for dinner. Alivia got to meet her cousins, Krista and Heather, and her aunt and uncle, Heidi and Chris. She got a lot of beautiful clothes and some very nice toys.

Alivia Turns One Month Old
Alivia turned one month old yesterday. This made Aliese and I realize just how fast time passes and how quickly children grow up. As a parent you must cherrish everyday with your children because before you know it they will be going off to college, getting married, and having their own children.
Alivia is doing great. Alivia's development continues to amaze us every day. Alivia's latest trick is picking her head up and moving it in the direction of whomever is speaking to her which is a good sign of how alert she is. Alivia has also been doing great with her breathing. Aliese and I are expecting that Alivia will be taken off her breathing monitor any day now. Yippie!!!!! Oh, BTW the Steeler won today just in case you didn't know. That means that the Steelers have won both games since Alivia has been home. I think she might be a good luck charm for the Steeler Nation.
