Libby is 4 Months!

Standing at 2 feet, 1 inch, Libby is 4 months old and is so much fun! She is enjoying exploring everything around her. She is grabbing toys and putting them in her mouth, she loves to sit in our laps and have us read to her- she watches as we turn each page, she rolls over all the time- even double rolls sometimes, she is really wanting to sit up on her own, she likes listening to music and looking at lights and playing with her toes and feet. She's even starting to laugh when we tickle her. She's still up in the middle of the night which is not fun, but we're working on it- and yes we did finally move her out of our room a few weeks ago. She had her 4 month check-up yesterday and was a very healthy little girl. She even did fairly well with her shots. Here are her stats:

Height- 25 inches- 75% (those tall Jones genes are staying strong)
Weight- 13 lbs, 3 oz- 50%
Head- 25% (still a little peanut head)

She had so much fun at the doctor's office playing with the table paper. She tore it up and rolled around in it- it may be her favorite toy yet. We immediately called Dad to ask him to bring some table paper home from his office for her to play with.

Yes - she tore this up all by herself. We had to replace the paper twice!

She was ready for bed when we took these pictures, so we couldn't get a smile.

Playing with her Aunt Callie before bed.

Hanging out with Uncle Allen- she even has speical expressions just for Allen- she knows when he's holding her :)

Libby's new favorite thing- bedtime stories. Cici is working on getting her language skills started early!

A Visit From Friends

We had a wonderful weekend with a visit from Sara and Julian and Katherine and Conor. We are so lucky to have such great friends who traveled to see us! Sara, Julian and Conor got to meet Libby for the first time and Katherine got to see her again. We loved sharing our little Libby for the weekend. Libby stayed with Chief and Cici on Sunday, while the adults went to the Panthers game- what a fun day. Thank you all for coming!

Katherine, Julian, Conor, Josh, Barb and Sara tailgating before the game

Sara and I leaving the game- I think the W for the Saints was icing on the cake for Sara and Julian :)

Callie and Allen joined us at the tailgate.

DSF High School Reunion- Henley came to the tailgate too!

Libby also got another treat this weekend- a new toy- her feet may not touch the bottom yet, but she's loving her exersaucer.

Libby had so much fun with Sara- lots of new games like flying baby, soaring baby, swinging baby- Libby was all smiles with Sara!

Here's Libby sucking on Julian's knuckle- I think he had a hard time detaching her.

Katherine worked on Libby's words with her... "ahhhhh"

Sara and Katherine - wine or beer, Libby? I think she's ready to tap the Rockies!

Sara loving on Libby- look at those long legs!

Our Little Libby-Bug

We had so much fun dressing Libby up on Halloween. She had a little cold, so she didn't have the best day, but looked precious! We took her to the Halloween block party in our neighborhood where we saw some of her friends and met some new ones. WOW- there are a lot of kids in our neighborhood! Apparently this block party is a secret and you don't get invited until you have a baby, so Libby was our ticket in.

Libby's little love bug wings and snuggling with Mommy after playing hard at the party.

Libby's graduated to her big stroller and can ride in it without her infant seat. She loves that she can sit up in it and look all around her. Of course I don't like it as much since I can't look at her the entire time we're walking :(

Yes- we were matching on purpose - it was Libby's idea :)

Look at those cheeks- this girl doesn't go without a meal!

The Pumpkin Patch

We are so lucky to have such great friends with a baby Libby's age! Brett and Stacie Berry had little Everley Lu 2 days before we had Libby- we even had the same room at the hospital! Libby and Everley have become very close- they have been to the pool together, shopping together and most recently to the pumpkin patch. They did wonderfully as we wedged them between pumpkins and put them in beds of baby pumpkins just to get these cute pics!

Everley and Libby wedged in tight- we couldn't get them to smile or look at the camera, but at least no tears!


Libby did quite well "sitting" in her pumpkin recliner!

Brett and Stacie with sweet Everley.

Just the girls!

Josh and Brett with their little ladies!

Family pic- what a fun day!

A Day at the Park

Last weekend we took Libby to the park for the day. The weather was beautiful! We just let her lay on a blanket on the grass practicing all of her new rolling skills.

Is Josh asleep in this one? Too bad I brough such a small blanket that he had to lay in the grass!

Posing with Mommy!



Its a bird... its a plane... its Libby!

Libby is 3 Months!

Libby is 3 months old and growing and learning so much! She's sitting up in our laps now really well and having fun sitting in her Bumpo seat! She's so tiny, we laugh every time she's sitting in it with her arms on the arm rests just like an adult. She is also rolling over like crazy- getting stuck laying on top of her arm, but she's almost there! She's now grabbing toys that we put in front of her and reaching for the toys on her play mat. She is so much fun!

Libby loves her Bumpo seat and is such a big girl when she sits in it! And yes, that's a fleece vest that she's wearing!

Libby the model

Libby had her first professional photo shoot in September with Lucy Parker: http://lucyparkerphotography.com/. She was wonderful with Libby and we got some precious shots. Here are a few to enjoy!
