This just in…
Livia Tredway has discovered her legs.
The fifteen week old was previously unaware of appendages other than her arms and thus all play was reduced to the reaching and grabbing of toys and the sucking of fingers.
“It’s quite remarkable!” her father exclaimed late yesterday afternoon. Her mother simply stood nearby, watching in awe as Livia kicked toys and held her chunky calfs with her tiny fingers.
This sudden discovery has taken the Tredway household by storm and has succeed to surpass in greatness the previous talents, ear-grabbing and hair-twirling.

It’s no exaggeration that new parents are marveled by the tiniest feat of their infant. (I should know, as I’ve been an active participant in this phenomenon with my own child.) But when previously, life as a newborn revolved solely around eating, sleeping and pooping, discovering one’s legs really is a big deal!!
I can’t believe how fast Livia is changing. You’ve now entered the era, approaching the 4-month mark, where life begins to change very rapidly. But it’s all so exciting! That picture is adorable.

nice play-by-play reporting, rt. I think YOU should take Couric’s place on nbc. i especially enjoyed the quote from the father.
thanks for letting me watch livia grow up from afar!

Sarah and Dena, I miss you both! If I weren’t so excited about your school opportunities, I’d be one sad girly. I hope you’re both blogging…
