Happy Halloween!

Fancy Halloween Pants and Three Front Teeth

As per usual, Libby has been quite busy these last two weeks. She celebrated her dad's 33rd birthday with her family, she had some informal Halloween pictures taken, and she went on a shopping spree with Mom, since she is very quietly growing out of her 12 month clothes. Oh yeah, and she's been working on cutting her top teeth. Needless to say, this last activity has caused everyone in the Yandek household to lose some sleep over the past few nights. Hopefully, everyone will get back to sleeping, since those three top teeth finally came through today! So, that makes five teeth for Libby!

There have been other changes these last two weeks. Libby has really started to expand her diet. She has had beef and gravy, chicken and vegetables, and today she had macaroni and cheese. It smelled like a can of Cheez Whiz, but Libby absolutely loved it. Libby has also started eating her little puffs. She is able to pick them up off the table and chew them up. And, just in time for Halloween, Libby has developed her creepy Halloweed laugh--she sounds kinda like the Count from Sesame Street. Ha, ha, ha!

Dad Likes This Picture, So He's Posting It

"I don't know what you're talking about? Of course I'm being a good girl!"

Libby's Silly Sounds

Miss Libby has been a very busy lady this past week. On Thursday, Libby got her flu shot and got to spend the whole day with Dad: they played, went to the grocery store, sang songs, bought toys and watched Libby's favorite show, "Jack's Big Music Show"! Libby did a great job with her shot--it was much more difficult for Dad than it was for her. On Saturday, Libby went to her cousin Claire's fifth birthday party and had lots of fun with her family and friends. Today is Columbus Day, so Mommy didn't have to work. Libby and Mom were together all day hanging out and having fun.

Libby has become very good at making all sorts of faces and noises. Her favorites include giving the raspberries, clicking her tongue, coughing to get attention and snuffing and making a doggy face. Oh, and she likes to bounce. A lot. She could go in her exersaucer all night long!

It's back to daycare and Miss Chrissy tomorrow. Dad's birthday is next week, and then it's on to Halloween! Libby has already had her Halloween pictures taken and she can't wait for the big day!

Eight Months Old!

Wide Awake

Clapping

It's Beginning to Feel A Lot Like Fall!

Dressed for the Elements

It's been awhile since the last post...Daddy was in Austin, Texas, last weekend, so he was a little busy. The last two weeks have been business as usual for Libby. She is in the routine at daycare, making new friends and learning new things. Libby has mastered the fine art of clapping. Not only that, but she will clap if asked and she will clap to express happiness or excitement. Libby is also an accomplished high-fiver. She and Dad now high-five on a regular basis.

With Claire at Her Soccer Game

With the weather starting to change, Libby is getting all sorts of fall and winter clothes. She got to wear her new hat and mittens on Saturday at her cousin Claire's soccer game. Libby spent a good part of the day on Saturday playing with her cousins--they always make her laugh. And then on Sunday, Libby visited her friends Will and Henry for some quality playtime. And finally, Libby is happy to report that Mom and Dad finally bought that minivan she wanted. It's official, we're a family now!
