Libby Attempts to Shower

So leaving Libby to roam free during my showers has caused incidents in the past. But, with the garbage put away, the child safety locks on, and plenty of Libby toys in the floor, I thought I was in the clear. No. Now she has decided she wants to slip into the shower with me. Luckily the lip of the shower is a bit too high, but she certainly tried! She even pulled herself to nearly standing as part of the effort. In the end she just pushed back the shower curtain (after sucking on it) and played in the water she could reach. I love her creativity.

Bored Libby

Yesterday we took Libby to the UW to help with a study on cognition. She did quite well, getting bored easily when they showed her the same thing over and over. While it makes for tough parenting, at least we have a kid who is very aware of what is going on around her.

Libby's Crawls with 80s Flair

Okay, so it is pretty much "the worm". But it gets her from point A (one thing she shouldn't be eating) to point B (another thing she shouldn't be eating). It is probably kind of bad that I whistle to get her attention. Just ignore that part.

Crawling into Trouble

Well, she is really doing it. She is crawling all over the place. It kind of looks like a half crawl half lunge still--but it accomplishes her purpose of getting her hands (and then mouth) on everything she shouldn't. Pictured are just a few of the things she has been nibbling.

My sewing machine pedal, the cold air return, Derek's Japanese bible, all the dictionaries!

Libby Eats a Cheerio!

So here Libby shows off her skills! (Well actually first she just mauls my hand to get the cheerio without any work.) Then she shows how she can hold a cheerio and get it in her mouth all by herself. The funniest part, though, is to watch her face after she gets the food in her mouth. She acts like it is the worst thing she has ever tasted. Gotta love her!

Derek's New Alarm

When Derek takes his nap (usually between work and wrestling), Libby loves to wake him up. Today she spent some time enjoying playing in our bed after he woke up. She loves the strings on the shams and bedspread.

Yummy!

Today we went to enjoy some Red Robin thanks to Uncle Dave, Aunt Keri, Sam, William, and Mariah. (Gift card for my birthday :) Libby seriously enjoyed tasting everything from the boiled egg white and lettuce from my salad, to the fries. Especially the fries.
