100 Days

Libby's been in our lives 100 days now. It's been the best 100 days of my life.
Let's see: 100 kisses x 100 days = 10,000 kisses. That's not nearly enough.

Hanging with Dad.
Nobody makes Libby smile as big as Jared. As soon as he comes home from work and scoops Libby up, a giant grin appears.

Libby-Girl, even though you rarely sleep and sometimes I wonder what in the world I've gotten myself into...in the same thought I look at those cute cheeks, blue eyes, and dimple chin and realize what a sweet blessing you are. I hardly remember what life was before you, and I can't imagine it was anywhere near as much fun as I'm having now. Just one request...stay 100 days old. I can't stand how fast you're growing.

We love you little princess!

oh my word

I KNOW it's time to do a 3 month post but, I never posted Libby's 2 month stats OR a cute 2 month video of her chatting so...we're doin' it now. Because it's been sitting on my computer waiting to be posted. (Sigh) Life is busy these days.

So...at Libby's 2 month doctor weigh-in she was at a whoppin' 10 lbs. On. The. Dot.

Her weight and height were both in the 25th percentile and her head topped the charts in the 97th! WOW! I always thought she looked pretty proportioned but, I guess we have ourselves a little bobble-head baby. As noted in the following home video of Libby telling me all about her day with the sitter. (I hate leaving her to go to work...I hate leaving her period.)

She sure does love to talk and be talked to. Even in a crabby mood she smiles at the sound of her name. She loves loves loves to look at herself in a little play mirror she has. She could sit on her pink mat and chat to her reflection for hours. Even as I uploaded videos of her on the computer tonight she just watched the screen with a big smile...seeing herself. Babies sure love other babies. So cute.

"wolfs outta the bag"

Up until seeing the New Moon movie tonight I was a little on the fence about who I loved more.
Jacob or Edward? It didn't take long before I was all about the werewolf.
Daaaaaaang Jacob!

Let's list some of the obvious:

Tan and ripped...............................Pasty and skeletal
Smiles............................................Pouts
108 degrees............................................Freezing
Can have babies...............................His babies will nearly kill you

My Baby :)

PS It's hard being on the LOSING team
PSS Does Bella seriously frustrate anyone else???

love

I called into work today and get to spend all Wednesday with this cute thing!
I love today!

Michelle & Emma Visit

My good friend Michelle came to visit from Michigan and brought along adorable Emma Jane. Michelle, Megan and I got together for, what else, Cafe Rio. Take out of course, so the kids could play. Here are some attempts at a group shot.




Once the Moms stepped in they were a little more cooperative. (Except Libby. She had had enough.) We had to set up the timer on my camera since we were the only ones home.

Megan and Luke, Michelle and Emma, Me and Libbs

Michelle, it was so good to see you and your cute baby (who's growing up fast) and we can hardly wait until next visit! Maybe then Libby can actually join in the kid play. ;)

totally kandid

Early this morning Libby and I headed to the mall to make some returns and run errands. Waltzing past Kiddie Kandids a worker approached me and said, "We're training a new girl today and she needs some practice if you wouldn't mind letting us photograph your baby. We'll give you a free 5x7."

"Now?"

"Ya...we'll do it now if you have time."

"Okay then." And in we went.

Libby was hilarious!!! She was neither fussy nor smiling...just content...yet VERY uncooperative with the poor new girl. She would set Libby up on her stomach with her arms tucked under her chin, and as soon as she let go to snap the picture, Libby would stretch her arms out and arch her back and stiffen her legs. She nearly rolled over on her own at one point. They kept saying, "She is very strong for just 2 months...she'll be crawling in no time." Libby sure does have a mind of her own. She wasn't about to be put in any position that wasn't totally comfy for her. After awhile, the manager came over to check out the pics. She said to the nervous new girl, "You only have 3 positions here and you need 6 to certify."

Her response, "The baby won't let me!"

Hahaha!!! Silly girl. The manager walked me over to the computer to pick our free 5x7 and I could I hardly hide my giggles. They were pretty ridiculous. I guess if I had paid for the session I would have been a little upset, there wasn't ONE decent picture.

I bet new girl doesn't certify. Sad.

I chose the one that made me laugh the most...you can't tell because they cropped it to a close up but, she was supposed to be laying on her tummy w/ her chin resting on her hands and she just kept arching her back and trying to be straight up...so that's what was captured. Then of course they tried to get me to buy a whole sheet of 'em for $39.99. Ya right!

PS New girl kept calling my baby "Libber-licious"....kinda weird, huh?

a special occasion

Last Sunday, November 1st, was a very special day for our little Libby.
Jared gave her a very sweet blessing in our home ward where we were so lucky to be
surrounded by friends and family whom we love.

Cousins Savannah, Cameron, and Libby (looking a little uncertain)

Libby's Grandpa & Great Grampie. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Men Folk.

Yummy yummy treats! ;)

Jared did such a great job and I'm so grateful to have him as a husband and a new daddy.
Libby really loves him. After a long day of work and school, as soon as Jared walks in the door, Libby gets a big, open mouthed grin on her face. She definitely knows who her daddy is and that he's going to spoil her rotten for many years to come. :)
We love you, little girl!

libby-girl

It's been a very rough 2 weeks for me. I had to go back to work and leave Libby with sitters and I miss her sooo much during the day! I've never been so happy for a WEEKEND in my entire life. Another sad part of my life right now is that I've lost my camera. How awful, right!!! I have searched high and low and I just can't seem to re-locate where it was last left. So...for those who haven't seen Libby in awhile, here are some pics that were on my computer from a little while ago. She looks the same but, getting chubbier everyday.


Chillin' in her crib.

Libby LOVES her room! She doesn't sleep in there yet (because I'll miss her too much being away from my bedside). We can never go back to that, ya know? Sometimes when she's fussy I'll go lay her on her changing table and walk away. She quiets down quickly and stares at the pink walls, and her bows that hang above her head or the fairy's hanging from the ceiling. I'm sure when I get brave enough to part with her at night, she'll do just fine.


Libby sure knows what she wants, and she always gets it.

They say you can't spoil a baby but, this little girl is definitely spoiled. She likes to be held, constantly. Which is okay because everyone always wants to hold her. I don't get much done around the house, that's what Dads are for. She has the cutest pouting face ever and an even cuter......

SMILE!

(This is on her changing table...told ya...she loves it)

Libby loves to be talked to and sang to. She'll talk back or move her lips like she's trying to sing along. Her favorite song right now is Lady Gaga's, "Paparazzi". No joke.

She'll be 2 months old on Halloween and it's been the hardest, most wonderful 2 months of my life. We love you Libby-girl!

crossing my fingers!
