And she's off.....well sort of!

Well, we all have to start somewhere. Tonight Libby took her first few steps. She did it over and over until Nina got there then she just wanted her Nina. Of course I was not able to get the best ones on video but this is not to bad. I cannot believe that she decided to do it tonight. The poor baby has been sick for the last 5 days and is still not 100%. Maybe her head was so foggy from being sick she did not know what she had done. After receiving all the praises the first time she was very proud of herself and I think that is want prompted her to do it again and again! Hopefully she will remember how to do it tomorrow!

Libby's baptism

On Sun 8/24/08 we had Libby baptized. Libby was such a good girl. She was just watching Glenn while he spoke and looked as if she was listening to every word that he was saying. She even let him hold her, I think that she was just mesmerized by the whole thing. Then at one point she waved to the congregation. What a good little girl.

Alex the Jr Girl Scout

The girls are getting their instructions
Alex crossing the bridge. They saved the best for last!
The friendship circle
Alex and Kate, BFF!
On Tues Alex went from being a brownie girl scout to a jr girl scout. There was a nice ceremony at the flowing well park where the girls crossed over the bridge. It is called the bridging ceremony. I am very proud of Alex for continuing on in girl scouts she has made a lot of friends and they have a fun time earning badges and doing nice things for their community.

Good Job Alex!

Libby's 1st Bithday!

Sorry that this has taken so long. We have been out of commission this last week due to a cold that has made it's way around our home. Every one but Alex, so far, has gotten it. And it has been a bad one!

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy our slide show!

I think that Libby had a fun week of festivities. I cannot believe that she is one already. My, how time flies! It has been a very fun year in our home! Libby's stats at one year old are; 29 1/2 in tall (75th%) and 22lbs and 2oz (75th%). For a little girl that started her life off the charts I would say that is pretty good! She is saying a few words, please, ruf-ruf, nana, and she nods for yes and no. Not only does she do dogie sounds she does cow and sheep. She knows where her belly is and her feet and her hair. She knows where everybody else's nose is, but it is not very fun to have her show you, ouch! She is not walking yet, but she is cruising around the furniture and will walk when you hold her hand. As you will see in one of my next blogs she did begin to take a few steps tonight. I am sure that my life will change as soon as she does!

S'mores

Do these shoes make my legs look big????
Yum Yum


On Sun, one of our last days of summer we had a cookout at Nina and Grandpas house. After we had s'mores and boy did Libby LOVE them! Also, check out Libby's new walking shoes. She is not walking yet, but she is very close. She loves the jingle bells on her new shoes. We are so glad to have Alex home after being gone for so long! What a fun time with our family!

Happy birthday Nina!

We got to go out to eat with Nina on her birthday, but we got no pictures with her! Here are some of Libby though. She would NOT smile at the camera, that little stinker! Hopefully we will get some good pictures with Nina when we celebrate with Alex home.
