Libby is 9 months

I had my 9 month check-up at the Doctor's yesterday. She said I was VERY healthy! Here are my stats:

Height - 27 inches (40%)

Weight - 22 lbs 5.5 oz (90%)

Head - 47 cm (50%)

I showed off my new walking skills to the Doc. (She asked Mom if I was crawling or pulling up...I was like, "Puh-leeze, I'm walking!") She said that when I stand up unassisted or go from crawling to standing by myself that that is typical of a 15-month old. Watch out world, I'm growing up fast!

I did get two shots and a finger prick. The finger prick REALLY hurt, but I liked sucking on my band-aid afterwards. :) My next visit there is for my one-year old check up. Hard to believe!

One day shy of nine months and she's...

WALKING! Libby started walking today. She made it across the kitchen without really falling. I guess she's really going to start getting into my stuff now!

Libby takes steps!

Yup. You read that correctly! Libby, my not quite 9-month old sister is starting to walk. She has taken as many as 8 steps this weekend. (Mom told me to write that...I'm too busy to keep count.) Every time Mom runs frantically for the camera to get some good shots of her walking, she sits down. Go figure. But we did capture this little bit this afternoon. More to come, I'm sure.

Butterflies!

We visited the Botanical Gardens to see the Butterfly Exhibit yesterday. We saw LOTS of butterflies and one even landed on Maddie's dress. I relaxed in my stroller most of the time. I did try to reach out and touch a butterfly resting on a flower, but Mom stopped me...something about me hurting her wings. I touched and smelled some flowers too!

First Day of School

September 1st was our first day of preschool. Libby is in the Infant room and I'm still in the Two's with Ms. Dana. We had a good first week! Every morning I drop Libby off and give her a kiss and then walk myself to my classroom. I have some new friends in my class this year and I helped show them the "ropes". I'm friends with Jacob and Sophia. I even gave Jacob a kiss on my first day!

Note from Mom: Libby was still napping and missed out on the "First Day" pictures, but she wore a matching dress!

Libby is 8 months

Sorry I'm a little behind in sending out this post, but a few weeks ago I turned 8 months. I've been so busy standing, cruising and getting into things that I didn't have time to blog. I'm eating lots of solids and even some finger foods. I have my bottom two teeth now! I even started preschool and really like it even if it does REALLY wear me out. Here are some pictures of me!!
