Gerber WHO?

And you all thought my cooking was BAD!! HA! If this little critic will eat it...then it must be delicious! In fact, it appears to be LIP SMACKING good!

This little chicken nugget makes me laugh....she's always got a new trick up her sleeve every day...and she knows she's funny.

Forget the Sleigh....

This year Rudolph is coming via stroller....hope he has a seatbeat....

(please excuse Libby's outfit. She did look super cute in her striped babyGap sweater, jean leggings (*jeggings* if you will) and red shiny shoes) UNTIL....the dreaded diaper leak. So, I just put her in some flannel pj bottoms to play in since the day was almost over and all we had left was dinner and a bath. I know she looks SUPER CHIC in this 'getup'. )

Wait a second!

From the minute my little one was born---she looked JUST like her Daddy. We've joked about little Scott, and i threatened to put her in scrubs with a fake goatee for Halloween since she looked nothing like me.

Well....suddenly, Miss Blue Eyes got blonde hair and started changing. I didn't think she looked MORE like me, just LESS like Scott. Turns out---I was wrong. My Dad found a bunch of photos---I'll let you look at a few. Its crazy to me how our expressions and everything are similar (in some other ones especially!). Genetics sure is a crazy, fascinating thing!

Ho Ho Ho.....Hee Hee Hee....

I'm ashamed to say, as a Mommy who likes to make her little one happy, this picture makes me giggle. Libby did exactly as I expected with Mr. Claus. In her defense, she is NOT a fan of strangers (uh...hello Jolly bearded guy in crazy hat!), and she is very skeptical of men (let's hope this lasts until at least the age of 18??!!). Libby takes some time to warm up to people and Santa did NOT make the cut. Not to mention, this is the age where she does NOT want to be held! She's on the move and ready to GO! Sorry if you didn't get your hugs in before now----maybe in few years she'll slow back down to climb in a lap---maybe next year it will be Santa's?? ha!

Although I'm very, very small.....

I'm wishing you the BIGGEST, HAPPIEST, MOST WONDERFUL Christmas ever!

I hope your stockings and your hearts are both full--but mainly with love!
I hope you are surrounded with people you cherish!
I hope you remember the tiny baby who makes this time of year so special.

Sending Lots of Love to my family and friends, Libby Baird

Dear Mr. Kringle.....

Dear Kind Sir,
I know we got off to a rocky start on our first introduction. Yes--you were very patient to deal with my wails and the arching of my back....the holding of my breath....the flailing of my tiny fists.

And for that, I am very sorry. Mommy said I should be 'shamed of myself! I promise to leave extra cookies for you to help "right" my wrong! Would Rudolph and his buddies like some carrots too??

I'm writing in regards to my wish list! I just wanted to let you know that there has been a modification to it!

There have been 2 new white shiny developments at my house and I no longer want my "2 front teeth" for Christmas! Maybe a nice baby doll or a PONY instead!! That would be GREAT!! Isn't that what every little girl needs? Or maybe just a toothbrush?

Thanks for the last minute change! See you at the mall next year!

Love, Libby Baird

We Coordinate....

Libby wore her pink stripe tights the day I wore my pink stripe sweater....so we had to take a picture! SEE Horizontal Stripes CAN be flattering.....if you're 11 months that is.....and wearing a hippo on your dress!

Enough talking....let's eat!

The Thanksgiving Report:

2 Thumbs UP (Libby LIKES!):
Mommy's Sweet potatoes, especially with cinnamon and marshmallows!!, Grandma Carol's Rolls (Mommy has a weakness for them too!), Macaroni and Cheese, Honey's Blackberry Salad with cream cheese topping, Dressing (i think EVERYONE voted this their favorite!!) and Granddad's super good carrot cake (because it's carrot color--not carrot flavor...but they're in there!)

Libby tolerates: corn, green beans, turkey, Uncle Ken from a distance (just kidding!)

Libby Loves to play with coke and water bottles! They make such fun noises when they pop and creak! Here she was just showing off for Daddy and Sugar.



Just looking sweet in my turkey day outfit! Ready to try some good food!


We are VERY VERY BLESSED to have such an amazing little girl in our lives! What a wonderful gift each day is! Something new and amazing everytime we turn around. Getting to see the world through her little eyes is magical! I don't know how someone so small can be full of so much life---or how much someone could consume mine!


I am such a lucky girl to have skeety, my chicken nugget, my parents, sugar, special k, ml & hs, the connells, and my nearest & dearest friends. I do lead a very charmed life thanks to you. Please know that you all hold very special places in my heart and I am thankful everyday.

From BAD to WORSE.....

So....After Libby's ER visit....Mommy spent the next night there....after tossing her cookies ALL night LONG!!!! (This is where we give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to Honey and Granddad for doing some 3 am babysitting! Thank goodness for you!!). I knew I was dehydrated and needed fluids, zofran and potassium apparently. When I got released I had Scott stop at McDonalds for Orange Drink. Oh my goodness!!! This was by far the BEST THING I HAVE EVER PUT IN MY MOUTH...... I thought I had died and gone to HEAVEN! AHHHH.......I would have done just about anything for a drink at that moment...but then one with SUGAR.....MY OH MY!

SADLY......All the EXCELLENT care I received the previous night BACKFIRED!! Scott got sick next, and Honey got a mild case too! WHAT A NASTY NASTY NASTY BUG! I've have tummy bugs....I've had food poisoning...TWICE....but I've never in my life felt like this. I SHUDDER to think about going through this again. I think the WORST is BEING SICK, and HAVING a SICK BABY TOO! Talk about Helpless.

From there....Libby improved and 3 days later went to her sitter's house. She contacted me at work to let me know her eye was swelling. I got her an appointment with her Pediatrician and Honey left work and took her. This began a 3 day in a row series of appointments!!

This is a picture that Honey took when they got home from the visit! Looks like poor Libby got into a boxing match!

As it turns out, Libby had a pretty serious condition. As a result of all her vomiting, she got Preseptal Cellulitis. Basically, this just means she had an infection of bacteria (probably moved up from her tummy--gross, I know, but it's allll connected) in her periorbital soft tissues/eyelids/sinuses that caused eyelid edema and pain. Poor thing had to get multiple Rocephin shots and 10 days of antibiotics.

We are VERY glad to have such an aware babysitter--this can be a very serious problem and can progress to something much worse. Thank you so much Amy for taking such good care of L!

In the midst of this, Scott had his wisdom teeth out and dry sockets (and with the tummy bug---i'm super jealous of all the weight he's lost!). I got laryngitis and bronchitis and possible walking pneumonia too. The worst of it being the COUGH i've dealt with for weeks! Poor Scott would probably live with 10 chronic smokers hacking all the time rather than the mess I've been doing. I think he's been amazed at the "ab work" I've been doing just from all the coughing....

Let's pray that we got all our wintertime illness' out of the way for the year. One good "shebang" and we're done. I think we've covered all the bases......

Quarantined!

Libby had her first trip to the Emergency Room a few weeks back. I was at work and my Mom said she had thrown up her lunch. She wanted to know what I wanted her to give her food/drink-wise for the rest of the day. Apparently Libby would go through spells of feeling well, and playing and then just wanting to be loved on and held. When I got off work and got her she was HOT! She had been holding down formula for a little while, so we thought!

I got her home and was walking to her bedroom when all HECK broke loose! Poor baby threw up again and again and again. I just froze in my tracks and patted her sweet little back. I tried not to move in an effort to keep it contained ON ME! Scott helped Libby and I, into my shower--clothes ON!! I figured it was best to not wrestle them off, but to just wash her, me, clothes--everything. She LOVED showering with me, but turned into a slippery butterball as soon as the soap hit her! ha.

We checked her temperature when we got out and decided she needed to go to the Emergency Room. With a baby under 1, Scott and I could have handled her cough, temperature, vomiting, OR diarrhea....but all 4 together were scary. Of course Saturday night at 7:30----there were a MILLLION little kids there!

This BAD MOMMY didn't even grab a diaper when we went in! I ended up with diarrhea ON my shirt a few minutes into our night there. LORD HELP US!

While we were waiting I had a 2 year old stranger climbing in and out of my lap---um hello! I can't very well turn a little kid away---but what was his dad thinking!!?? People never cease to amaze me. I could get on my soapbox here about some of the "reasons" kids were there and how they need pediatricians to see DURING THE WEEK....but that's another post. Enough ranting.

Libby was EXCELLENT during her physical exam. Didn't make a peep (TIRED??!! Dehydrated?!) She let her feelings be known during the nasal swab and urine catheter. In all fairness, the nurses worked super fast!! The WORST was the chest x-ray. If you've NEVER seen a baby get a chest x-ray....wow! It is absolutely painless...just CRAZY to watch. Libby screamed the entire time, because 1. i left her 2. she probably wondered what the heck was going on 3. she was exhausted and tired

It looks like a baby torture chamber. I googled this image and it's SIMILAR to what they used...but not exact. It's a free standing cylinder. Their little legs go in slots and then they snap them in the top with arms up overhead. NUTS!! Fortunately they work really really FAST!

THIS IS NOT LIBBY!

The ladies who did her x-rays let me stay in the room (behind i screen---Libby had no idea i was there, and was crying so loud she couldn't hear me....so I guess it did me more good than her!).

The doctor said she probably needed fluids but they were so backed up, they'd try pedialyte. Poor Libby choked down 1 ounce of it, and we were sent home. They said to bring her back if she started to vomit again. (Which she did---but so did I---and I had to have my own hospital stay!) In retrospect, I wish we'd just waited and gotten them....because she was so weak the following day and struggled to keep anything down. It's so hard to watch your child when they are sick. My heart really goes out to parents with children who have chronic illness' or serious conditions. God must give them strength that I can't imagine. THIS was trying enough!

Sadly...our week of "the little black cloud" does not end here. That's enough for one post!

Here's a photo of Libby while we changed the sheets on our bed AGAIN. The Sunday after our Lebonheur visit, she and I kept it low-key in the bed. Sadly, she started getting sick again and again. We finally got smart and put beach towels down everywhere. Everytime, she managed to get me and her both covered again---I guess she liked our fun shower! We did that several times! ha!

She actually was giggly in "quarantine"! It didn't last long. Mommy rescued her for more cuddle time (all this cuddling let to some super sharing of Libby's nasty tummy virus!) She had some HARD surface toys to play with and got to wear Daddy's tee shirt tied up in the back! It's tough being sick!

Let's hope this doesn't REPEAT any time soon!

Gobble gobble gobble....

Me and My trusty Steed! (This MIGHT be in Libby's top 3! She ADORES this horse, and she is too small to really get the full benefit of riding it---so maybe someday she might just love it more than milk, or paci's, or stuffed bunnies.....or Mamamama!)

My little turkey has got some rhythm! She loves to groove and bob her head to music (sometimes the music is ONLY in her head and no one else can hear it!). She also loves to SHAKE ANYTHING she can get her hands on. We bought these Elmo morroca's and she has so much fun with them. Rattles are for babies! Big girls get their latin groove on!

Ahhh.....The lengths I go to, in an attempt to get this child to 1. look at me, 2. sit/stand still for a second, 3. smile!!! In the ABOVE picture I let this runny nose child hold the camera case and I have a turkey headband on to get a laugh out of her---and keep her occupied for a second. She's laugh and giggle NO PROBLEM----it's the movement part that I haven't figured out yet! Thought I should share what Libby get's the pleasure of seeing. Lucky baby.

sooo big!

More Mac & Cheese Please! Libby may only have 2 teeth, but it isn't slowing down her food sampling. She is trying (and spitting out a lot!) of new foods these days! So far, she likes mac and cheese pretty good. Mommy goes really light on the cheese though! ha.


What was such a blessing.....is now such a curse. Libby and Wrigley have figured out there own little fun game with the dog door. She has yet to think about going "through" the door...I'm sure that day is coming.

Bet you can't get me......Come chase me around the coffee table! I LOVE this game!

WHEW! Tired girl! Can't sit still for long though....

Here is my BEE!! Mommy only turns it "ON" when I get really cranky! I LOVE it more than you can imagine. It sings and wiggles. It sings about me "BEE-ing it's little baby"

Clap your hands! Celebrate! I'm 11 months old! woohhoo!

It's been NUTS around here (that's the norm folks!)

Sadly.....Libby has attended 2 visitations, and her first funeral this month. (As a side note-Libby must have known how important it was to behave during the service as I have never in my life seen a baby so well behaved. It made this Mommy VERY proud that she didn't make a SINGLE peep for 40 minutes! Not ONE baby noise! Several people commented what an angel she was! I was very thankful- as I wanted to attend and had to take her along!)

Libby also had her first BIG illness and trip to the ER this month. YUCK. We're much better now! More later on all that!

This is a fun night playing with a stuffed bunny of Mommy's! Libby LOVES stuffed animals. I'm not a huge fan of them, so it only makes sense that she would be nuts over them. She has just a few that she LOVES. She loves a stuffed bunny from Sugar, and a bee from Honey and Granddad. The bee is the ULTIMATE when she's upset! She stuffs an animal under her when she sleeps and i remembered a flattened rabbit that I had from when i was a baby. Apparently, I had done the same thing and smushed to poor guy. I dug him out of the attic, threw him in the wash---and what to do you know-----he fluffed right back up! Suprised the darn thing didn't fall right apart! Libby wasn't overly impressed with him.....




Mommy!!! This rabbit is so OLD he needs CPR to bring him back to LIFE!! Maybe we can save him!!???

Nahhhnn....He's a goner....

Happy Veteran's Day!

MY FAVORITE VETERAN!!!

We just wanted to say Thank you to All our Veterans!

Did you know that it originally began as Armistice Day?

Did you know that President Woodrow Wilson is responsible for your special day??

And did you also know that the holiday is often celebrated by eating ravioli!?? (this is my kinda day!) This is because President Wilson invited 2,000 troops to the White House for dinner since he thought they'd be hankerin' for a home cooked meal! They were served......you guessed it....Ravioli!

The day is observed through local ceremonies, parades, and the closing of most schools, federal offices and post offices. (Bills can be delivered another day! But, fear not--your local pharmacist is on duty to take care of you!!)

We do appreciate all that you do. Your service to our country deserves more than just a day!

10 months!

Libby is such a big girl! Where has the time gone! Whew! She's cruising (crawling is only fun in the bathtub!), jabbering (mama, dada, nana, hi, baba, bye are still our favorite intelligible words-there is an assortment of chinese she speaks the rest of the time), eating big girl foods (we love mac and cheese, gerber spaghetti-o, baby yogurt, bread, sweet corn kernels, whole wheat waffles, cheerios, tortilla pieces, etc!), feeding and loving on the dogs, exploring everything, loving on her blue baby doll and her bunny, and playing with her baby friends.

Libby thinks she is so funny. Loves to clap, dance to music, still getting the hang of patty cake, squeals over wrigley, wants her rockey horse, plays peek a boo, sleeps with a blanket/loves to cuddle/burrow in the bumper and corners. Still loves to scrunch her nose and snort. Still is very skeptical of strangers and clings to Mommy-it takes some warming up to get this little one in your lap! Puts on a show given the opportunity, and likes to make sure she always has an audience. Giving up her pacifier on her own. Helps take her clothes off, helps put her shirts on. She LOVES her shiny red shoes. The first time I put one on--her face LIT UP!! Drinks from a sippy cup, but still takes a bottle 3 times a day. Still an AWESOME plane traveler! She has flown 6 times now and never had a problem! This past time she was awake for one flight and just had a fun time playing-no tears!! THANKFUL! (Like her Mommy, she hates to be in the car for long though. I think we'll avoid roadtrips and fly when we start traveling with her!) She has taken notice of Sesame street. Sleeping great overnight. 2 tiny teeth still. Full of life and the center of our life and hearts! Growing up much too quickly!

No Tricks, All Treats!

Thank you Honey for my pretty dress! You keep me so fashionable! How do you like my little pumpkin bow! Ms. Joan sent it to me! She is so sweet to think of me!
Wait?! What do you mean I can't EAT the candy??!! Saving it for potty-training? This is crazy talk! No SUGAR for the BABY!!???

My costume doubles as camo! Bet you can't see me!!

I'm a little punkin! Mommy said next year that all 3 of us will CARVE a pumpkin! She said the inside feels icky! This year she just drew a friendly spider for me so it would last longer.

Happy Halloween!

Libby dressed up as the sweetest little giraffe!

We had Honey and Granddad to our house for dinner and they brought one of her favorite treats-MumMums! Daddy cooked a yummy dinner (it would have been a trick if Mommy had cooked!) and it was time to hit the hay! Granddad took care of our one tricker treater, and we had to turn off all the lights and take the dogs upstairs. Libby has such an early bedtime (6:30) and the dogs are such loud mouth security guards--all the people walking by really got them worked up. I stuck a bowl of candy on the front porch. Maybe in a year or two we can enjoy the holidays a little more!

She Bangs, She Bangs....

I saw the funniest thing today..... Clip on bangs. Gross.

As a disclaimer: I will be the first to admit I have had various bad hairstyles over the past 29 years---crimping, french braids, perms, but I think the one style that has NEVER EVER been flattering is bangs. (to anyone reading this that wears them, loves them, and pulls them off---more power to you! I just can't. I'm just not a fan. They look messy and I have never seen anyone ever "style" them in a way that makes me ever wanna deal with them again) I had bangs on and off through elementary school and high school but now, a nice side swoop is perfect! ha!

Now, the clip on bangs have me baffled! Seriously, who do you think you're fooling! It's like the hair scrunchies!? (do they still make those?) I may be wrong (this has happened before) but I can't imagine they blend real well with your hair, or that they feel good to wear? I guess they'll market anything these days! Go take a look!!

This and That.....

How funny is this picture? I stole it from my sister (this makes up for all the clothes and such that of mine that she has collected over the years). Libby has had TERRIBLE stranger apprehension and seperation anxiety--she has even started being a little bashful when she is sleepy or not feeling well. Until she warms up that is. She has some exceptions to this--she loves Honey & Granddad as she spends a lot of time with them, and I get the feeling she runs the show when she's there??!! (Nobody puts THIS baby in a corner...she makes her presence known!) Libby hasn't seen "Sugar" since June but she went right to her and didn't cry once. I guess she knows who loves her! I was glad because I hate we have to go so long between visits. With our crazy work schedules here (Scott and I work opposite weekends and he works overnight!) and the distance between us--we sure do miss our Blonde Texans!

I read a quote "All Moms are working Moms" and once you have a 10 month old in your house, nothing else could be more true. We are ON THE MOVE!!! Libby went from backward crawling, to crawling all the sudden (but only for just a day or two), cruising. She has been pulling up for a while now, and she has put it in motion. I am not a fan. Those little legs wobble all over the place...and she is fearless! Libby is quick to turn loose of Mommy's hands but the minute her booty plops on the floor, she is tearful and wants Mommy to hold her--but just for a second. Ha!

We saw the fish, penguins, and seals at the Aquarium on vacation!

Oooooh Mommy! I see Nemo!!!

My Happy Halloween Hat! Libby was pretty un-phased by it. Mattie helped her put it back on when it fell off. Aren't they cute!?

Oh...Dear Lord....please let this tooth come in. The Rascal has been taking it's sweet time for the past 2 weeks. My Mommy says I'm not sleeping the same and she doesn't seemed thrilled to see me overnight.....At least I have this teething bunny.

I'm eating FOOD! I like my cheerios, and this blueberry muffin is pretty tasty. Most of the "healthy" stuff is just fun to squish in my fingers and feed to the dogs. Mommy says I need to get my act together so I don't miss out on Thanksgiving.

I had my 9 month pictures made with Miss Lisa and did SOOO good, we don't have those back yet though! Mommy and I had some Mommy & Me pictures made with her friend Miss Cassie and it was a lot of fun. I kept grinning really big at her cute little boy! Here's just one of the pictures.....

I can READ! Well, I try. I LOVE looking at (and chewing on) books. Mommy has her fingers crossed that I will develop a love of reading. She said we are gonna start having a regular "night-night" story time very soon and I'm so excited! I think she's waiting until I'm a little bigger and stop trying to rip the pages??

This was one of the first days when I started pulling up. I was so proud of myself. Mommy was proud, but I saw another look on her face....I think it was fear? She's been doing lot's of redecorating to celebrate! There are lots of plastic things in the wall outlets and she's moving the stools and coffee tables and all the pretty things that are on them. I guess life really does revolve around me here.

She has my heart....

For those of you that know me....you know how much this girl truly IS my heart. I am incapable of expressing those feelings in writing, and don't wanna do it on a blog. I'll write my baby girl letters, sing her songs (lucky libby! ha), cover her in kisses, spend every waking minute making sure she knows what an absolute joy she is to me. However, I did wanna share this picture. I LOVE when I have my sleeping baby in my arms. I may be a little selfish in putting her to sleep in that I'd hold her all night long if I could. I hate that sometimes she puts up a fight to go to sleep...but once she's asleep....she could not be any more angelic. To avoid sleep, she strokes my face, holds my shirt, twirls my hair, sings, anything. Last night....she found my (her) necklace. Even in her sleep she kept a good grip on it. I thought it was sweet. Libby is truly my heart outside of my body....and she was holding on to her little fingerprint heart around my neck.....sigh.......

Dr. LaLa Recommends!

RESINOL!!!! I used to recommend this when i was JUST a pharmacist, but now as a MOMMY i can back that up with experience too. Don't waste your time or your money on Desitin, Boudreauxs, Balmex, etc. They are all just zinc or vaseline. Just use zinc or vaseline. Should you need the big guns.....ask for Resinol. Most pharmacies keep it behind the counter and will order it for you if it's not in stock. I know of two texas babies who have used it **and will support these claims**. I like that it smells slightly medicinal (that's the crazy pharmacist side of me) and it really works quick. I keep it on hand and like to pass on good recommendations to others! With babies, there are so many products available it's nice to know what really works and what is just a gimmicky name. Libby and I give it 2 thumbs up! She doesn't eat solid real food yet, so we haven't dealt with real diaper rash, but she does give her overnight diapers a run for their money so I can only imagine what is in store. If for some reason any of you Mommies can't ever get your hands on any--we keep it in stock at the pharmacy I work at so I'll be happy to get some to you.

I'm soooo big!

Wait....I'm not THAT big. My Mommy LOVES to put me in gowns again (something about me being too wiggly to button or snap me in pjs). This one was for 0-6 month old babies. It was HUGE on me and I'm almost 9 months old! I guess I'm still little after all. I actually didn't get to sleep in it in because my arms kept sneaking their way out of the sleeves. Mommy also said she thinks I look sweet in gowns, but she thinks I look sweet in everything.....



I think she's kinda crazy about me. She says she is my biggest fan. I might be hers though. Mommy says we go together like "mac and cheese" but I don't really know what that means. I guess that means we are buddies. Speaking of buddies---my all time favorite puppy dog is in this picture with us!! Mommy didn't pose her like she did me, she was probably chasing a fly or something silly that puppies do. How do you like my blonde hair and pearly white teeth??!!

I've got my skinny jeans on! You can see the pockets on them here....and my Adorable dimples! People say I should be a baby models....Mommy says i'm too diva-ish. I think she appreciates the sweet compliments but is happy with me just being HER baby.

besides....all those photo shoots would cut into my busy social calendar! ha

Gotta go.....so much to do! Gotta practice "pat-a-cake" before I see my Granddad on Wednesday. He's been teaching me and I think it's so much fun. Honey and I are both still working on walking with our shaky legs----it's exhausting being a baby!

Dear Uncle Ken.....

i heard what you might do to my some of my dad's teeth.....so i've started an oral hygiene regimen. Mommy says that's very important....

and by the way....I can't wait to see you. Love you Special K! Kiss my cousins and my Sugar for me! Love, Libby

Mommy's 8 month old!!

We have had a VERY busy end of the summer!! Libby and I took a road trip with some buddies of ours to Seagrove Beach (but that's another post). Now, we are back at work, in all our church groups, Mom's Activities, going to birthday parties, storytimes, get-togethers, play-dates, a quick trip to meet our sweetest new baby friend, helping take care of Honey after her knee surgery ((she's doing GREAT now)...but we got to chauffeur her to several appointments where Libby entertained all the old men and ladies in the waiting rooms. What a ham--this girl loves an audience as long as she can put her show on from Mommy's lap! Don't even think about taking her!!)) So, we haven't had a second to ourselves. Whew.

Anyways, busy Libby is 8 and 1/2 months old! Nuts! She can say Ma-Ma, Ba-Ba, Hey, Da-da, ga-ga. That's pretty much the order they've come out of her mouth. She has 2 teeth, and wants to wants to walk. (crawling is for babies!---she can crawl backwards slowly but doesn't enjoy it). She hops on everything-legs, chairs, jumperoos, grocery baskets--and has figured out how to bounce across the floor in a yoga pose on her booty. We pinch pick up foods but still prefer any type of bottle or sippy cup---Like Mommy, Libby LOVES her Milk!!

Sweet Libby has gone blonde! All the dark hair was rubbed off and it grew back blonde!! I certainly didn't expect that!!?? But it's pretty adorable.

Libby looks less like her Daddy and more like LIBBY. She's becoming her own little person. I see alot of my grandpa in her chubby cheeks and expressions, so we often have "james harris" joining us at the dinnertable (except he liked his veggies Libby!) ha. Oh-the opinions! If we don't like it-we won't eat! ha. The biggest change at this age is the separation anxiety. Whoa. I anticipated some....but whoa. If I'm in the room, Libby tries to climb in my lap or wants me. If i can sneak out---I better not speak from the other room!! Hearing Mommy's voice is NOT GOOD if she isn't around.

Well, more later! I could type all day--but there's a sweet baby who wants my attention and that's far more fun that typing about her.
