May and June happenings

We've been busy little bees around here. So much going on....I don't even know where to start! Libby is such a little girl, not a baby anymore! She's 18 (and a half!) months old now!!! I'd list all her "milestones" but there are too many. She's all around AMAZING in my book. I was keeping a list of all her "vocabulary" until she hit 68 words and I realized she'd say anything I asked her too. She can identify alot of things without prompting (which makes shopping trips very entertaining). She has a great sense of humor and is such a comedian once she gets comfortable with her audience. She is starting to say 2 word sentences beyond just "bless you" and "thank you".

Libby is CRAZY over Elmo ("Melmo"), her baby dolls, making all her dolls and stuffed animals give kisses (although she's very stingy with giving them herself!), bead necklaces, Milk ("ilk"), Mommy's Ipad, and her puppies. She's very much a Mommy's ("Ommy") girl but get's pretty excited when we pull into Papa's house. I'm amazed she knows it by sight! Great sleeper, good eater, happy girl! I am very blessed by this sweet 23 pound ball of fun!!

Here are a few highlights of the past few months. I'm sorry I'm such a terrible blogger. A 1.5 year old keeps you on your toes.


-Playdate with our buddies Grant and his Mommy Kelly at the Big Backyard.
-Two hot, muddy, babies!

-Chatting with Isabella (notice the SHARING!!) at My Mommy's surpise party. I had gone to bed, but decided I didn't wanna miss the party. I got to rejoin the crowd with my "bedhead" and pajamas.

-This face is UP TO NO GOOD!!

-Libby has a baby backyard waterpark! I let her wear MY OLD SWIMSUIT!! She drank more water than anything!

-I took this picture of my Little One and I think it's pretty cute. I'm no longer the official photographer since Libby and I got Scott a "fancy" camera for father's day/anniversary! He said he has taken more photos since June than he's ever taken in his entire life. Somehow, I don't think he's joking. On vacation he even rented a lens and got some great shots! I'll share more later. (apparently, "fancy" cameras require editing....I don't have the patience for junk like that so I'm glad he's doing all this!)

-These are in reverse order (showing my blog in-ept-titude!). While Libby is CRAZY over ELMO, she is BEST FRIENDS WITH ABBY! This was the first toy I was suckered into buying in a store. I made the mistake of letting her hold her in Barnes and Noble. This was the start of the Love Affair. She stroked her yarn hair the entire trip. She would not let me pry her from her death grip when we went to leave. Tears threatened to spill over her eyes, and her lip quivered. SUCKER MOMMY. Most expensive stuffed animal ever. No coupon. Nothing. Thankfully, Libby wakes up looking for her, and hasn't lost interest in 4 months. Best purchase ever?!

-Libby says "cheese" whenever she sees the camera now!

-Back in May, these 2 rascals were up to some sort of mischief....

-Getting our medal at "the big show" in May at the Little Gym. Libby had up and down days at the Little Gym. Her class fell right during naptime (it's hard to have a social life when you take 2 LONG naps every day). As the semester progressed, she enjoyed it more. Hopefully, this fall she'll be ready to go again! Just as the semester ended she was starting to have alot of fun!

More later!
