Smiling Through it All

On Saturday, Libby will be nine months old. This is extremely good news, since month number eight was difficult for all parties involved. As if cutting three teeth at the same time were not bad enough, Libby has spent the last week battling a bad cold and a double ear infection. She has not been eating well, she has not been sleeping, her nose runs constantly, and she has not been able to go to day care. It's been tough on Mom and Dad, too, trying to get sitters and taking time off work. Special thanks to Aunt Reen, Aunt Holly, Grammie and Papa for all their help!

It wasn't all bad news for Libby, however. Halloween was lots of fun. She spent lots of time with her cousins, which is always entertaining. She's getting very good at holding herself up. And, according to the doctors, she's healthy in every way (except for the nasty cold!). Libby weighed in at 23 lbs. on Monday when she went to get checked out, which means she's put on about 15 lbs. since February (almost as much as Dad). As a matter of fact, when the doctor made the comment that someone wasn't missing too many meals, we weren't sure if she meant Libby or Daddy.

At the end of the month, however, Libby has managed to get through it all with a smile on her face! That's why we love her!
