Little Miss Libby is 11 Months!

this monday little miss libby turned 11 months old! i cannot believe that in less than one month she will be a year old. she has turned into quite the big girl lately - pulling herself up and walking around all of the furniture and whatever else she can find, babbling away to us and basically trying to do everything her big brother does. she is our little sweetheart and while she loves her new 'girly' toys, she's just as happy pushing cruz's trucks and tractors around and throwing balls and blocks everywhere! perhaps a little tom-boy in training? unfortunately she's home with an ear infection today...the only good thing is that it's slowed her down a bit and she's into snuggling with me on the couch. we went into the doctor yesterday and she's now 18 pounds, 4 ounces - soon she'll be catching up to cruz! she loves to eat (pretty much table food exclusively - no more interest in the baby stuff!) and especially loves to try and feed herself. 11 months:

little miss piggy!

happy girl!

we love you libby!

Merry Christmas!

it's hard to believe christmas 2012 has already come and gone...the tree and all the decorations are already put away and this january rain is making it feel more like march! the other day cruz asked where pinky (our elf on the shelf) was and i had to tell him he went back to the north pole until next holiday season. we had a great christmas and it was so fun to watch everything through the eyes of cruz and libby. here are some photos documenting our fun:

unfortunately we had to cancel our trip to iowa the weekend before christmas...a major snowstorm, pink eye and a touch of the flu kept us home. we missed seeing all of the reedy and ahrens' families, but hope to get down for a visit sometime in the near future. we hope you all had a wonderful christmas season as well! xoxoxo, ang & family
