A Little Bit about the Little Miss

I can not believe it but today Libby is eight months old. It just seems as though she is growing up way too fast! She is sitting up like a pro and just loves to sit on the floor and play with her basket of toys.

Occasionally she gets a little bold and tries to crawl into her basket but it usually ends up with a fit of frustration. She definitely has the crawl stance mastered but just hasn't figured out how to make everything move in sync. But she is definitely this close to becoming a full-fledged crawler!

It has been so fun watching her little personality develop. She is such a good baby and is really pretty content most of the time. She is laughing all of the time now and Evan is still her favorite source of entertainment. She is sleeping all night (she goes to bed at 8pm and wakes up between 7 and 7:30am.

Libby is LOVING to eat. And I really have to watch her around food. This morning, she swiped Evan's cinnamon toast and stuffed the entire triangle in her mouth!! I actually haven't found anything she will turn away. She loves bananas, avocados, sweet potatoes, yogurt (especially apple!) and toast dipped in applesauce.

This week, she has started to take most of her milk by bottle. I had the feeling I was no longer producing enough milk and this week, my suspicions were confirmed. However, Libby has transitioned wonderfully to the bottle and I really think Dad enjoys getting to feed her and spend that time with her.

And speaking of Dad...Libby is completely a Daddy's girl. The minute he get home from work, she twist around to see him and isn't content until he takes her. And most days, she refuses to come to me for an hour or two. And Evan is still her favorite source of entertainment. As a reward for her attentiveness, he just loves on her and speaks so sweetly to his "Libby Lou". When she wakes up, he loves to run into her room and say "good morning, sunshine" no matter what time of day it is. She learned early how to secure her "princess" position with the boys of the house. Ha! She even has the princess wave down!
