Okay Rick and Mollie, I am FINALLY updating my blog. You'll be very happy now, right? :) Our little Libby is now almost 7 months old. It's hard to believe how quickly this year is flying by. I guess it's no wonder though, when you have so much love and happiness in your life, the days seem to speed by.

Libby is now crawling from room to room, place to place. We have yet to babyproof the house and she has taken some tumbles, but doesn't seem too phased. She's now holding on to furniture and pulling herself up to standing position. She watches her cousin Colston and is repeating what he is doing.
BIG NEWS FLASH: Libby just began to say her first word this week. "Ma ma." Not sure if she knows exactly that when she says it, she is calling for her mom, but needless to say, it's as clear as day, "ma ma". Gotta say, I love hearing those words. I'm sure "da da" will be right around the corner. When I go to pick her up, I say "Up?" and she raises her arms toward me. She associates the word "Up" with being held in my arms. I was mentioning this to my friend Mollie last night and she said that for being 6 1/2 months, this is pretty advanced. Her eldest, Caroline, was saying words like "flower" by the time she was 8 months. Hmmm...Could we be so lucky? Seems to be headed in that direction! :) Oh gosh, I'm that mom!!!
Here are some recent pictures of our ever growing Libby.
