And she's off......

Libby has finally learned how to crawl!! My dad is in town so we went to Quimby on Saturday to visit my Aunt Rachael, Uncle Mike and all the cousins. We made a stop in Cherokee to visit the grandparents then it was out to Uncle Mike's "ponderosa" for his birthday party. So needless to say she didn't get much "floor time", she was held and carried around most of the day. Libby was a VERY good girl all day. She didn't really mind all the strangers. She just smiled at everyday and acted shy.

On Sunday we spend most of our time at home. My dad, Kim, Matt and I took all the kids out for breakfast (at 1pm) and then went to the pumpkin patch (see picture below). Afterwards we all hung out at my house. Taylor loves to play Wii and Kim is still a pro at "Mike Tyson's Punchout". By the end of the afternoon Libby was crawling everywhere. I guess I am going to have to start baby proofing the house. Hopefully she will be walking by Christmas!!

Daddy has Libby working hard

Here is a picture of Libby with her first computer. This is my old laptop that I thought we would save for Libby to mess around with when she gets a little older. This way she will have her own and won't mess with ours. Daddy decided it would be cute to turn it on for her last night and let her "work" while he was in the basement. Maybe since Mike is busy with decorating he thought Libby would be a good help at home. I guess we are going to have to get her some typing lessons early.

Libby's First Pumpkin

I carved a couple of pumpkins last weekend. I guess I did it too early because they are moldy and I have to throw them out already. Good thing I got pictures with the "L" pumpkin before it went bad. My dad is in town visiting for a couple of weeks. I guess my sister is going to drag us and all the kids to the pumpkin patch on Sunday. I am sure it will not be busy with it being the weekend before Halloween and all. HA HA. Hopefully I will get some good pictures for Libby scrapbook anyway.

Libby's favorite show

Libby occasionally watches TV. Most of the time something will catch her attention, she will watch for a couple of seconds and then look away. Last night we were watching the end of "Extreme Makeover Home Edition"(before Desperate Housewives). You know at the end when they do the "big reveal" and everyone claps and jumps around? Well Libby thought that was pretty exciting. She just kept watching, clapping, waving her arms and cheering for the last 10 minutes of the show. I am going to try again next week during the big reveal and see if she does the same thing. It was so cute!!

And finally....new photos

As promised here is my photo of Libby playing in her toy box. Of course I forgot my camera on Wednesday when we went out for Mike and JJ's birthday so there are no photos of that. We had a busy weekend. My friend "Pepsi" was visiting from MN for our 10 class reunion. We made a few visits to Morningside campus and I showed her all the "improvements" Sioux City has gone though in the past 10 years. Libby was a trooper the whole weekend even though she didn't really stick to a schedule or take very good naps.

Be sure to check out Libby's other website at http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/l/liberty107/ for her 9 month updates. I can't believe she is 9 months old already!

Still no pictures....

Well, my plans to overload on photos of Libby this weekend did not turn out as I had planned. I had her all "cuted" up, she was playing with her toys, clapping and having a good time. I put her in her toybox (because it was empty-her new idea of fun is pulling her toys out one by one) and covered her with toys. I went to grab the camera and discovered it was gone. Mike had taken it to Lincoln with him. I did get some cute video-which I haven't figured out how to link to this site yet but I will someday.

So, Sunday I get out the camera. The battery was dead. Maybe we will get some pictures tonight at Mike and JJ's birthday party. Hopefully I will remember to bring the camera.
