Happy Birthday GreatGrandpa!

Libby Meets the Dogs...

She wasn't afraid of the two mini dobermans in our life, Porsche and Mini Cooper. They weren't too afraid of her either, but they did like to lick her binkie!

Without Laney, No Libby!

This is my good friend and former roommate Laney. She introduced me to Derek on my first day in Seattle...so, without the help of Laney, there might not be a Libby!

Our Guitar Hero

The Cutest Cub

This is Libby's uncle Dave's girlfriend Kate and the amazing outfit she picked out for Libby. The little bear feet are so cute and Lib loves to eat them (of course).

Libby's 1st Christmas Present

This is actually from Tuesday night when we had our family Christmas Eve. She is opening her first present from Grandma and Grandpa Norton....She really wanted to get that paper in her mouth!

Libby Loves Utah!

Here are some photos and video of her first day in Utah for Christmas. She is missing her daddy A LOT!

Libby's Christmas Outfits

Libby under the tree.
Look at all the PRESENTS!

These outfits are so cute...she looks like a little Christmas doll...that slobbers a lot.

We 3 Kings!

Our ward party last night was so amazing! A Night in Bethlehem--and in biblical dress. As you can see, Libby was the head king and we followed her to see the birth of the Savior.

Libby Nibbles Her Toes

Actually she was more like licking the sole of her foot. So gross yet so cute :)

Libby Sits Up

Libby is now able to stay sitting if we put her up there...with occasional nose dives. It is so adorable.

Libby Loves Food!

Derek's new favorite pasttime is to let Libby taste the things he is eating. Here she is enjoying licking a breadstick and a carrot.

Gingerbread House!

Tonight for FHE we got together with our friends for a gingerbread house making bonanza. It was awesome...except for the SUV that slammed on its brakes in front of me on the way home, causing 1/2 of the Christmas lights to fall off the front of the house. We will give it another go round at Grandma and Grandpa Randalls' house in a week or so...

Our Water Baby

Libby loves water babies at the gym. She mostly loves it when she catches the plastic animals and puts them in her mouth, jumping into the pool, and doing the hoky poky (sp?). She is starting to kick on her own.

Libby MOVES!

This is how far Libby scooted herself back from Mr. Bug in about 5 minutes. She just pushes up on her arms than moves back as she comes down. It is awesome. We better start baby proofing.

Libby Eats Solids! (sort of)

We gave Libby her first rice cereal mixed with formula tonight. It was so funny. She literally dove for the mouthfuls but wasn't sure what to do with it when she got it in her mouth. She spit most of it back out, but swallowed some, I am sure. She certainly made a MESS!

Libby's New Toy!

This is the greatest invention ever. Hours of fun and entertainment.

Thank goodness for the DI here where I got it for $8.00 instead of $100.00 :) Yep, me the cheapskate.

Libby Makes Friends

This is her friend Madeline Johnson who was born one week after she was. Her mom and dad are our friends from back in the Seattle 3rd Ward--Taylor and Shawn.
This is Libby getting a kiss! This is Bryce Snow. He has a new little sister who he likes to kiss. He wanted to practice on Libby. She wasn't super into it, but Bryce was SO cute.

Libby loves wrestling

She did some good cheering at the double dual we went to on Friday night. She cheered for Shorewood as they went up against Stanwood and slept as they went up against Arlington (which was a very good match!)

Cheerleading again!

Tonight we are heading to her first wrestling match. Yikes. I hope all goes well since it is an away match. To get her in the cheering mood, she wore her Mariner's cheerleading uniform. So cute!

Celebration!

I don't think I ever mentioned the exciting news from the doctor on Monday. She weighed in at 12 lbs. 15 oz. She gained a pound in 10 days! (See what going to my parents can do to you? All that good Thanksgiving influence.) Anyway, she is 40% for weight and 75% in height. No wonder those 3 month jammies just aren't fitting any more.

Happy Birthday Wishes

Two very special people have birthdays right around Thanksgiving. Here is Libby's birthday card for Aunt Leanne and Uncle Brian.

Thanksgiving Trip!

We had an amazing trip to Utah to see my family. Here are some highlights.
Libby with Great Grandma Randall Libby with Great Grandpa Randall
Libby Waltzing with Grandpa
Libby with Elsie (my best friend Mary Anne's daughter)

Libby Learns to Sit

Libby is slowly starting to sit on her own--if you put her upright she slowly descends to the right, left, or like in this picture, to the front. She is getting there...

Libby's Dancing Pig

This is a gift from her uncle Dave that she is starting to really appreciate. The pig vibrates and sings when you push on the nose. She hasn't figured that part out yet, but she loves it when the pig grooves!

Go T-birds

Well it is that time of year again...no, not the holiday season...wrestling season. Libby is all ready to be a super fan for the Shorewood HS Thunderbird wrestling team--since her daddy and uncle are the assistant coaches.

Libby's Dinner

Tonight Libby ate a delicious dinner that included 3 meds! Turns out she has an ear infection in one side. So, she had her zantec, gripe water, and the biggest syringe is amoxicillan (sp?). It smells awful! She wasn't a huge fan. 13 doses to go. (BTW, she weighed in at 11 lbs. 15 oz. today!)

Go Mariners!

I am so excited that this shirt finally almost fits. Too bad we missed the season, but she is working on love of the game...

Hospital Retrospective

I have been neglecting my blogging a little lately so I could work on this video. It is finally done...:)

Libby Loves Piglet

Libby is loving her piglet wrist rattle. She is so cute these days!

11 lbs. 8 oz. WOW!

She really is packing it on. We are so proud of our little chub! She is now in the 25% percentile. When we started this whole process, she wasn't even on the chart, so she has come a long way.

Go Team GO!

As some of you already know, my mom gave me the name Tricia, because she thought it would look cute on a cheerleading sweater. Well, I was never a cheerleader, and thankfully she still loves me. We are starting out Libby early though, so she can fulfill Grandma's dream. (This is extra cute because my parents called me Elmo before I was born.)

Congrats Aunt Maren!

We didn't get a picture last night during the election night celebration, but Libby was present to see Aunt Maren winning her first election. She wore her Maren Norton for Shoreline School Board onsie and her converse high tops :)

Shoulder Ridin' Libby

I gave Libby a shoulder ride for the first time today. It was pretty funny. She instantly grabbed huge handfuls of my hair and started chomping on it.

Baby Yoga

Libby loves doing baby yoga, at least for a few minutes when she isn't too tired...

Libby and Reid

I watched Reid yesterday while his mom Emmi went to the temple. Libby and Reid had lots of fun.

Libby on her tummy

Libby didn't feel like eating yesterday, and today she didn't feel like sleeping. She ate really well today, so we had some good play time! She watched part of the Count of Monte Cristo with dad.

(One of these is from the other day actually--but too cute to leave off).
