So I missed Libby's 1 year check-up and then when I called back to re-schedule there wasn't an opening until March. Boo hoo! Oh well, better than nothing. Anyway, so it went really well!
Libby knows 10 body parts: eyes, nose, tongue, mouth, ears, head, hair, tummy, hands, and feet. She also knows a few animal sounds: cow, horse, dog, cat (sometimes), fish, monkey, bear (hilarious!), lion, and elephant. We're still working on a few others like sheep and duck. I still need to get all of that on video, I have a short clip from when she was one and I don't think I've posted it yet, yeah, bad mama blogger. :)
Anyway, the doc was impressed, she said at 18 months they look for them to know 2 out of 3 body parts and to say 2 words. Libby doesn't speak a lot but she understands almost everything we say. It's amazing! So developmentally she's doing fabulously, it's so fun seeing her learn new things every day!
She was 30 1/2" long and 20.3 lbs. That's the 75th % for height and 25th% for weight. The doc was quite pleased as Lib was only in the 10th % last time we went. And she was still on the mend from her stomach flu so I'll bet she had even lost about a pound. Doctor also confirmed that she was getting her molars in and that it was what was making her grouchy, irritable, and a picky eater. Poor kid! And, I might, add poor mama! ;) I'm just glad that's over for now! After our fun weekend at Tim's family's ranch Libby woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed Monday morning. It was so great seeing her back to her perky self.
So there's a quick Libby update for my little baby book of sorts on here. I'll post a pregnancy picture soon and maybe even a sono pic if I can get it scanned somehow.
Our little family with Tim's grandmother Mimi
"Aunt" Kristin. Actually Tim's cousin and one of my life-long friends
Libby still had a bit of a tummy ache so she wasn't quite up to par but we still got some cute pics!

Back at home...
Libby found my Latin notebook from college and started "reading" it in her chair! yes, it's upside-down. :)

Love the picture with all the cousins! How cute! Reminds me of one that we would the with Henderson girls! :)
Finally and update! :) Love that Libster and her smarty self. She inspired Addy to get to work on signing. We are trying...
I love that she is getting a bit more chunky! I can tell from those pics just looking at those sweet legs! I can't wait for summer, we will be down a bunch and our girls can swim and play!
AND I can't wait for baby Merkin number 2!!!
