Walking, talking & being maternal...

This is a video of our most recent mobility...Nurturing is definitely instinct for females.

Libby loves this stroller and baby doll that NaNa gave her for her birthday, this is the only baby doll that gets to ride in the stroller all others are tossed out.

She loves to walk - but only with the stroller. See the footage below.

Our week in review ~

We welcomed Jeremy home Sunday night after he spent a week in Colorado. We missed him so much but he had a great time...a much needed trip away from the every day routine here in Memphis.
I stayed busy here with Libby. I tackled a little home improvement project while Jeremy was gone. It took much more time than I anticipated but I am very happy with the way it turned out. Basically every time Libby went to sleep, I was painting, priming or wallpapering...resulting in a new look for our pantry/laundry room but a very tired Elizabeth.
Libby missed her Daddy and we are so thankful he is home safe and sound but so glad he had such a great trip!

Call me crazy, but I don't think duck hunting will ever be the same after this.


Libby in the tent we built - her favorite thing about it was that it could be destroyed -
she did that, twice...

Her new thing is hiding underneath things.




Conversing with my buddy...

Guess what we are going to be for Halloween?
Yee - Haw
The hat is complements of Runyan's birthday party - at the petting zoo.
Libby loved it!

Pantry - After
I must say, putting away groceries is a lot more pleasant these days.

Little of this, little of that...

We are getting excited for Fall and Football around here - Go Dawgs!
Jeremy is like a kid at Christmas. Not to mention, duck hunting is just around the corner.
I am just happy the weather has been so great, Fall is my favorite time of year.
I have been brainstorming our Halloween costume but nothing has come to me yet.
Libby has been very busy. She has pretty much dropped her second nap, the transition has been easier on her than it has on me. The good thing is her nap that she does take is longer, so that helps me out. We are not walking yet...crawling is much much faster.
We have started to do Little Gym which she LOVES! I love it too, it is so fun to watch her play. She is definitely the life of the party. She loves to be the center of attention and is very outgoing. When we walk into any public venue she waves to everyone.

She loves Hagan - she has learned how to play fetch with him and thinks it is hilarious. He can really make her laugh. Here are a few pics to enjoy.

I love the great outdoors





Sleeping Beauty


This is how I exit every room - turn to wave to let them know I will not be in their presence and then make a mad dash for something I shouldn't be playing with.



Naked time is fun. (or as we say it "nekkid")




Going in for the kill - hitting is our new thing - look at Hagan wincing - poor guy.


This was after a long day, she was pulling her hair down - I looked back to see that I was riding with a diva from 1982
