Still here....

So Libbi has learned a few new tricks since her Dad last updated the blog... In no particular order, Libbi can now:

-Smile on command (pending her mood)
-Wave hello and goodbye
-Feed herself (bottle and in her high chair)
-Give kisses (Daddy taught her this one!)
-Pull herself in her crib, and on other objects in the house
-Stand almost unassisted
-Rolling around is old news
-So is clapping

-She has 4 teeth now (middle two, top and bottom)
-Loves to eat anything, including her toes

She loves to mimic anything any adult will do (a scary thought), loves to have her Dad count to 3 and throw her in the air, and her new favorite thing is to sit in her high chair and bang her Mom's metal meausring spoons and cups.

-Last but not least, Libbi got her first cold and runny nose (conviently the same day the snow dumped half a foot on us). It scared us rookie parents, but we have good friends and doctors that made it easy on us.

Really that's about all for the update...Lame, I know, but I gots things to do.

Love,

Travis, Calli, Libbi and Kojo (the one who picked a fight with a horse and lost...story coming soon.)

Another Libbi Photo Shoot!!

I was doing some reading the other day in my PCPhoto magazine where it was talking about never missing an opportunity to take a picture when you're given the chance. As Calli was giving Libbi a bath tonight, I went outside to make a call and realized that with all of the cloud cover the lighting was near perfect for another Libbi photo shoot. I put the camera (not to mention Libbi and Calli) to the test. What can I say, I love my camera (and my girls, too...). I hope you all can appreciate the pictures as much as I do. (No, Heidi, there was no photoshopping on these pictures!)

See the slideshow below for more pictures.

We're Still Alive...

So, I know it's been a while, but we're all still here, still alive and kicking. In fact, we've been staying incredibly busy. Semi-pro football just ended with my All Star game last weekend (which I had an incredibly good time at by the way), Shelley football is starting up this week with our summer camp, and with the reunions and what not coming up, we're going to be tied up the rest of the summer.

And for our little superstar, Libbi...well, she's changing almost everyday. She is smiling on cue, giggling and even standing up (with a little help, of course), but she has her Dad's sense of balance and grace. She's still sleeping through the nights and we just started her on solid foods, her first being prunes mixed with rice cereal, and she just devoured it. However, the most fun thing lately is that she is now reaching for what she wants, including her parents...I gotta tell you, it's the doggone coolest thing about her yet. What can I say, I'm whooped.


Anyway, enjoy the pictures, I'll have to get a video posted here soon as soon as I get everything reinstalled on the computer at home since it crashed the other day and everything had to be wiped and redone. Oh well. Enjoy the pics and the overhauled blog.
