Why Be a Baby, When You Can Be A Super Hero

Occupation: Super Baby
Super Power: Apparently hugging, according to her cape
Wearing bids the normal way is just boring, so my little super hero spun it around and spent her day rescuing those around her in need of hugs! See she just got done hugging her toy.
I swear I didn't do this, she did it all by herself.

Photo Shoot Failure

Four months ago on this very day, Miss Liberty Rose was not but one hour old. I remember thinking to myself, "I wonder when I'll stop taking pictures of her everyday?" Well, pictures everyday doesn't always happen, but I surely do like to take them on momentous occasions like four month old birthdays and such! If you recall our 3 month photo extravaganza, you well know that I had plenty of perfect little baby shots, taken on our porch with ideal lighting. This January day did not afford such an amiable climate, so we were forced 2 days in row to attempt our photo shoot inside and the pictures turned out not so great. So, after about 350 shots I realized that today was not the day for perfect pictures and slightly blurred, out of focused shots would have to do!

This is how today started...I keep thinking that she can sit up on her own, I guess not yet!

This was the start of yesterday's shoot, both days face down.Fist or thumb, one or another is always in her mouth
She was happier today, yesterday she remained quite pensive,

I don't know what it is about this blue boppy here at my Mom's house, but every time I lay her on it I am amazed at how much she looks like the babies on Kev's side of the family Oops, her tag is out, but she does look peaceful here!
We've been watching Peter Pan a lot lately and I think that she is doing her impression of him here. Arms back, legs up, and strait off to Neverland

Winter's Chill

Every time I feel sad that I can't spend my Saturday's lying on the beach at Lover's Key, I remember to be thankful that I can kiss this little lady all bundled for a brisk walk at the park with my love and my dog in tow!

Brrrr.

Cofessions of a Lazy House Wife

If I was keeping up faithfully with this blog I would have taken pictures of the area around, behind, and underneath our TV cabinet to make this post more interesting. Since I did not, I will describe what I found...Dust! Enough dust to create a new Gus, enough dust to prove to me that I have not cleaned there since moving here 6 months ago. It was there that I realized that if my job of house-wife/stay-at-home had a boss, they would have fired me long ago.
Resolution: clean more...hmmm.
Since I have no pictures of my dust, here are some pics of my time with sweeties and sister!

Libby is sad here, but I thought it was a great shot of baby Christian! He is making my sister very round and ready for her little to get here.

Libby loved spending time with Aunt Maims(this is a nick-name I'm trying out on her since I have always been Dar-Dar to her girls) My sister is this pretty even when she is not great with child

Sidney loving Libby, she did this a lot, so much in fact that we had to remind her often that Libs might need just a little bit of space every now and then.

I actually walk downstairs to find Sidney picking Libby up all by herself... and why shouldn't she, she is 6 now, you know. As you can see Libby is perfectly content being held by one of her favorite cousins. I think Amy is going to have a lot of help with Christian when he comes!

My parent's house is about 1000 degrees in the winter and we all wear t-shirts while the rest of the world is wrapped up in there infomercial snuggies(a blanket with arms! ingenious). Anywho, Libby is happiest there with no clothes but a diaper and Miss Allison joined her in her scivies?(sci-vs) before dressing for bed Wednesday night! Look how happy they are.

There you have it, pictures that are far more interesting than dust. I love my sister and her girls and can't wait to see them again in March when little Christian Matthew joins this family of mostly girls.

Just One More

I laid her on her belly the other night for some neck strengthening exercises(known as tummy time in the world of babies) and she did this(please look at pic below). You might think that it is nothing, but she is holding her head up...
without dropping it...
and looking around..
neck control.
I don't know about you, but I'm amazed. She is mine, so even if it just for my own amazement I post these phenomenal pics.

My Christmas Tree is Still Up

I am posting these pictures to show you Libby being big, not to show you that my tree is still up and I have no motivation to take it down before I head out of town again on Monday.

Oops, this isn't Libby, but it is funny

I'll have you know that when I started this photo shoot there was no bow, but I added one, b/c it is what I do.

She's just bouncing away, like she's been doing it her whole life

And there it is...Christmas tree still standing tall in all its artificial glory. I hate taking down the decorations, everything looks empty with out them.

Despite my protesting she keeps growing, and learning, and changing with every passing day.

Allison Kate and Libby Rose

Alli loves baby dolls, and Libby is no exception. She is gentle and sweet to my little and in return my little loves her!
