Libby Kate 13 month update

My baby girl is 13 months old. She's growing so fast. I can't believe how quickly these 13 months have flown by. We are so in love with this little stinker. I thought I'd get some updated pictures to go with her update!

Libby Kate LOVES to point. She normally talks while she points, but mostly it's a full sentence that we cannot understand. We still love to hear her, though.

LK also really loves to climb. She will climb onto any piece of furniture or chair available.

Libby Kate's newest and proudes accomplishment is her walking. She began taking her first steps a week ago and she is now a pro through and through. She's got the cutest walk in the world and I promise to put a video up some day.

Her smile is the cutest thing in the world. Still toothless, though. This week we can feel 2 teeth trying to break through on the bottom, but much like Libby Kate herself, her teeth will come when they are ready. We're not worried.

The most popular question that EVERYONE asks is about Libby Kate's face. Everyone says, "aww.. what's wrong with her face?" Ha. LK just happens to have very dry skin around her mouth. We have to apply lotion and vasoline every 2 hours or so or it will crack and sometimes even bleed. She has such a great disposition, and never fusses about it. We still think she's cute, even though she's a little dry.

Libby Kate's favorite thing to do is EAT. She will eat anything you offer her, espeically chocolate. She loves cookies and treats.

We SO love this little baby. She lights up our life. We love you baby girl! I love watching her grow and am excited to see her continue to learn new things about life!

Play time

A week ago we had some friends over and had adult time and the kids had kid time. It was great! Finley loved playing with two little girls just like her! Dress up was quite a big event as all three girls thought it necessary to show off all outfits!

Baby girl Leia enjoyed sitting in Libby Kate's walker.

Carson didn't mind all the girls!

Libby Kate loved playing with baby Leia

What a fun night!

Snow Day fun

We received the wonderful gift of 2 snow days this week. I absolutely LOVED being at home with my girls. I hardly ever get alone time with these two dolls and it was truly wonderful. Tuesday we did a LOT of cleaning and the girls were troopers. They even helped me cook dinner. We took Finley to the doctor today (Wednesday) and then we met Daddy on his lunch for a quick snack. I had a little taste of what it would be like to be a stay-at-home Momma and it was wonderful. Back to school tomorrow, but feeling very refreshed with a full, warm heart!

Some things Never Change!

Pump It Up party

Finley's big birthday party for her friends took place at Pump it Up! I will have to say that I was very happy with our experience there and I will be returning at the next opportunity! Between Andrew and me there were over 300 pictures taken, which I narrowed down to 85... which I narrowed down to 15 for this post. I'm trying not to be too crazy with the pictures, because not everyone is as excited about my family as I am... Haha. Anyway, there are many other pictures, that I will be sharing in another way, which I will post about later.... for now.. here are a few good ones:

Watching the safety video:

Finley's preschool teacher came to her party and it meant the world to her. She loves Ms. Botzum and we do too! She's awesome!

Aunt Jess was a blast at PIU. She took her nieces down the slide pretty much the whole time....

I think Aunt Jessie was more nervous about the slide than Addy... what do you think?

Mommy, Finley and Daisy take a turn.... I have to say it was a lot steeper of a drop than I thought.

Daddy and few girls.... What can I say? He is a ladies man through and through.... :)

Papaw showing off his arm muscles!

Uncle Brandon takes Addy and Carson down... double duty!

Libby Kate was VERY interested in playing with baby Leia.... specifically putting her finger in Leia's mouth.

This is one of our attempts for a group shot. Didn't quite work out, but quite cute if you ask me.

In line to move to the party room...

Ready for some snacks, cake and ice cream!

Finley had a very special visitor. Caitlin, the ballerina came to spend some time with the birthday girl. She spent time with the girls and even gave Finley a special present! She loves Caitlin!

Beautiful birthday girl
