Libby's first conversation

Libby: Hi!
Me: Hi!
Libby: How are you? (how ah ya?)
Me: Good. How are you?
Libby: Happy!

She is very good at this new rehersed conversation and gets overly excited to answer "happy", barely letting me finish asking her how she is. It's pretty adorable and her first real conversation.



Also, I got Libby skinny jeans for $4 and they are pretty much the best idea ever for her. I think they are the only pair of pants (besides stretchy, elastic waist pants) that don't require a belt. They stay up perfectly and look really cute b/c she is so skinny.



I made Libby this crayon/paper carrier to take in the diaper bag and she loves it. I kind of love it too. It's very handy although she wants to color a little bit on every single page which sometimes drives me a little bonkers, but oh well it keeps her entertained for about a minute at a time.  

Ultrasound!

So it's a BOY! We are pretty excited. We didn't know we'd get to see him in 3D, but it was pretty awesome. I always thought the 3D pictures were kind of creepy, but watching his little face in 3D was pretty awesome. He is really cute already. He was very cooperative and showed us everything we needed to see. He's in the 57th percentile for weight, which means he's slightly above average, but lucky for me his head seems to be a little bit smaller than normal which is very comforting. I would love another small headed child like Liberty. My mom always tells me how I had a huge head when I was born and it's sort of scared me a little. Everything seems healthy and good, it's amazing all the things they can tell using those machines. Also, feel free to suggest boy names. Right now Richard wants to name him Norhinkle or Boot......ummmm, yeah not really excited about either of those and will use my veto power against them.

Birthday and Sewing projects

Libby on my b-day at Julie's house. I love her outfit (thanks aunt sarah!)

Me and my delicious ice cream cake! (i'm usually all about the funfetti cake, but since it was 90 degrees, ice cream cake sounded like a better choice)

Libby eating an ice cube--her new favorite thing

Me and Richard with the cake he picked out for me

my b-day present from richard--a bathroom rack. i love it. Libby gets into everything and this is amazing and saves me from wrestling things like hairspray away from her. i don't care if it looks a little cluttered. I also treated myself to a shopping trip and found a couple cute things for me and Libby and got to spend the day with my BFF Julie! Overall a great b-day.

the cute little nerd outfit i made for baby Carter! I think it's adorable.

Libby in her cute fancy onesie from Aunt Sarah! I love it and so does she! She kept saying "pretty" all day!

I made dresses out of this fabric for all 3 of my nieces and Libby. I'm not sure why, but I love this fabric (which is actually from a sheet i found at walmart for $5). I think the dresses turned out really cute too.

pregnancy update

I guess we can start taking guesses on the gender of baby #2. We have our ultrasound on July 29th! Less than 3 weeks away! We are very excited. Here's some belly pics. I actually have a really decent tan (well farmers tan) and I'm pretty impressed with myself b/c I don't tan. I guess WA sunshine isn't as effective as Idaho's b/c I spent 2 summers working at boys and girls club where I was outside a lot. Anyways....pictures

16 weeks, showing off my farmers tan

17 weeks (Fri July 8)

Swimming

Liberty has decided she loves swimming. She swims in the bath, her pool, and on the kitchen floor. On the 4th of July we went to the new water park in Rexburg. I was worried Libby wouldn't like it b/c of her fear of the splash park, but she loved it! We all had a lot of fun. Liberty really tried to swim on her own and loved going back and forth between the two of us. I have a really cute picture of her outside in her pool, but it's on my phone and the cord is in the car, so I'll post that later I guess.
Here's a funny video of her swimming in the bathtub.
