Splish Splash...I was taking a bath....

We're a little behind.....

So...I've been a little busy....between work, and groups, and birthday parties galore, Libby and I hardly have a free second! While Honey and Granddad were in Hawaii we spent most of the week at their house (with all 3 puppy dogs!!! ahhh!!). We decided to try a bath in the sink since the baby bathtub was making a real big mess. Plus, Libby HATES reclining in it. She prefers to stand ALL THE TIME, so I guess we'll just bypass bubble baths altogether and go right on to taking showers? ha.

OH! The sink bath was kind of a fail....she LOVED it...but we ended up washing down Honey and G-Daddy's kitchen and washing Mommy's clothes pretty good. Splashing is just sooo fun!

A little 'after bath' snack ---yummy toes.

We love Sugar.....or Melmo.........

I was playing video clips on Sugar's blog for Libby (which she LOVES) and she gets the BIGGEST smiles on her face. I don't know if it's because of the babies, Erin's voice or the computer. Maybe all three. Anyways, she starts bouncing and hopping and smacking the keyboard. She must love her some Aunt Sugar!! We sure do miss you guys!! Maybe it's Melmo that she loves...because we sure do get a kick out of the dancing one at Honey & G-daddy's house. Again....it's a grainy video, but in the moment---I thought it might make Erin's day!

ha ha...funny girl....

sorry this is so grainy. all i had handy was the cell phone and i knew if i took a chance to locate a camera--Libby would lose all interest in her cute trick. Anyways.....just thought it was funny. This head-shaking is what made us have the enormous wrap around bald spot. She used to do this on her crib sheets. Good thing she's a sitter now, as the hair is finally growing in

*in case you can't hear the audio.... (thank your lucky stars cause my voice is worse that nails on a chalkboard)....I asked Libby if she "missed Honey" (who is enjoying the Hawaiian sunshine right now) and if she was a good girl. You can see that she got at least one answer right.

Jump for joy!

One of Libby's FAVORITE things to do is jump. She will jump in your lap, in her highchair, in the bath....anywhere. She even tried to bounce when I let her ride in the top portion of the basket at the grocery. I hope the Jumperoo is well made because we really give it a run for it's money these days.

Happy Independence Day!!

This 2nd picture cracks me up. Libby has always HATED being on her tummy, so just as soon as she realized she could sit up--she did. Now, she has realized that she can stand, so she never wants to sit anymore. She's standing in this picture, but I couldn't turn loose of her hand to get a full body shot since she's NOT that good yet! ha. I do like her little hand on her hip as if she's saying "Mommy...I've got this!"

Hope you had a great 4th of July! Libby got her first taste of Watermelon. She gave it 2 very sticky thumbs up!

Playtime fun

Would someone take pity on this poor child and buy her some toys? She's got NOTHING to play with.

Besides Libby...I don't have much to blog about...so it's probably best i just put up a few pictures. She's a stinker....and the love of my life. I'm one lucky Mommy!!

Libby got her first chance to swim in the big pool! Our sweet friend Heather invited us to her house in Manila and we got to get in. She actually enjoyed it, it seemed. She loves to jump (all the time) and kept trying to do that in the water. She accidentally dunked her face a few times trying to lick the water, but didn't cry. Such a big girl! We had a great day with Heather and Ty. Libby loved watching Ty and he was super careful to not splash her, but kept her entertained. Too bad she doesn't have her own big brother!

***And didn't Heather get some great pics of Libby?? I was so impressed! Once I crop ME out, they'll be perfect! HA!
