Daddy is a celebrity around here - especially when mowing the lawn...

Every weekend the grass needs to be mowed, and so out the door Jeremy goes to tackle the yard work...It has definitely become "the" event of the weekend for Libby.
We sit and watch and wave to him...not just a normal wave that EVERY person we encounter normally gets, but a huge full arm frantic Howdy-do type of wave. And she does this every time he passes by. This is also the only opportunity I have to cut her fingernails because she is mesmerized by our hero on the snapper. Normally a manicure is out of the question unless she is extremly side-tracked.

Her other new obsessions are doors & light switches - She loves to shut Hagan out of the room and then open the door and laugh at him, and turn the lights on and off.
We are still not walking and I am fine with that...still crawling and eating interesting things we find. This is such a fun age and she is so much fun to play with the down side is she has learned how to throw fits...

The other day she went in her room and shut the door on me...I am already having visions of the teenage years...Lord help me.

Going to the Chapel...

This past weekend was a great one. We went up to Lousiville, Kentucky to Callie & Russell's wedding. It was so fun to see family & friends and to get to spend time with Callie's family too.

Libby didn't make all of the festivities - but she still had a great time! I have so many pictures so I had to make a slide show of this event. Hopefully I can post it without any trouble...Enjoy

My Big Fat Birthday Bash

A year has come and gone and I can't believe it! Libby surprises me every day with the things she is doing and the way she copies everything we do...which is very cute, but scary at the same time. The other day we were running errands and I had a piece of gum. I look back at her and she too was chewing some imaginary gum. She is constantly watching and picking up new little tricks.

We had her birthday party the other weekend and we had a really good time. Papaw and Nana were very hospitable and let us entertain all of Libby's friends at their house. We were so thankful, our occupancy load at our house is slightly smaller. Enjoy the pictures!

If I could only reach the pedals...

Nathan on the slide, I don't think he got off the slide once - except to help open presents...which was very helpful...

The Dad's had just as much fun as the kids did.

Since Dad won't let me drive his car, I guess this will do for now.

My cake!

I'm about to dig into this starchy delight and mom and dad want me to look at the camera?

I love my new wagon!

Oh where is my hairbrush?

After a year of putting off the inevitable it was finally time for the first haircut we have been debating...to think we would be cutting the baby hair that Libby had just one year ago. And haircuts seem like such a big kid thing to do. But when your child looks like this when she wakes up, you know it's time.

On the way to the Salon

Such a big girl!

Where did all of those months go?
