End-of-the-Summer Blur

These last couple of weeks have been a blur of activity. I can't believe Libby's birthday is just a few weeks away. 11 months old. Who would have thought in those teary (mine) and screamy (hers) first few months that I would let her live this long?

Here's some info about our 11-month-old girl:
  • talking: She blabbers and jabbers and chatters and coos fairly constantly. She can say Daddy (usually Da-da, though), bye-bye, and kitty clearly enough to be understood by others. She can say ball clearly enough to be understood by Martin and I alone.
  • walking: She now is the proud owner of her first pair of real shoes. We need to get more video tape, so we can record her walking in them. She walks as if she's wearing swim flippers. See pictures of a shod Libby below!

Our new lavender shoes!


Finally understanding the appeal of corn on the cob--a new favorite!


Great big faker. Attica! Attica!


Grandma and Grandpa K came to visit. Look closely and notice Bruiser's Band-aid on her eyebrow. Our little rough-and-tumble gal.

Finally...more pictures! She is getting cuter every minute! We can't wait to see her in a couple of weeks.

Love You!

Dear Libby,

Been with us a year and what changes we have seen. Not only getting taller and weighs more but her growth in walking and talking have been phenomenal. What a joy. And what an experience to have an active little gal around again. We love you.

Maybe when you take Sam to the bookstore, Libby can teach him to walk around and the joy of new shoes?? - Gen

Love your new shoes, Libby! May your steps always lead you someplace exciting.

Can't even fathom that it's been nearly a year. Slow down, little girl, and let the rest of us catch up!
