I don't think that Libby was quite ready for this picture! Sorry it's been a while since I have posted... this week has been kind of crazy. My mom came on Tuesday and visited. It was great to have her here. Mom is always a huge blessing when she comes! She couldn't have picked a better week to come either. Libby got her 4 month shots on Wednesday and she did pretty good, she just slept a lot the next day. On top of that Libby is teething a bit, going through a growth spurt, and now I think she is getting a bit of a cold! GREAT! Because of this she is starting to wake up in the middle of the night again. Last night she woke up at 1am and 5am. I felt like I had a newborn all over again! I know I shouldn't complain since Libby has been sleeping through the night since she was 6 weeks old, but my poor body isn't used to waking up anymore. Well Libby just woke up from her nap so I'd better go! Check out the other pictures that I just posted too!!

Libby has been getting a lot more active lately and it's been a lot of fun to see her playing and interacting more. We are so blessed by Libby everyday. Right now she isn't rolling over yet, but I think that has a lot to do with the fact that she is hardly ever on her back. She spends a lot of time either on her tummy or sitting up. Yesterday she was reclined on the couch and she actually pulled her self up to sit. She can somewhat sit by herself, but she's still a little unsteady! She is definitly keeping me on my toes now! This weekend we are all going to Arlington Beach for the YFC staff/board retreat. Hopefully Libby will enjoy it so that it can be somewhat of a retreat for Daryl and I too. Next week my mom is coming so Libby will have a lot of Grandma time...... she'll be spoiled I'm sure!

I can't believe how much Libby has grown!! She is so much fun and is such a great little girl! I am so in love with her and it amazes me how much my love grows for her every day! Daryl and I are so incredibly blessed!

No pictures but.....

I needed to update the bog anyways. Libby is doing really well! A week ago she had her 3 month check up. She was 13 lbs. 13 oz. (75%) and was 24" long (75%). I felt really weird because Daryl and I both didn't have any questions. I feel like we should, but she is just such a good baby! She is still sleeping really well.... I put her down around 9 and she'll get up anywhere between 6:30-8, depending on the day before, etc. And she's been doing this for almost 2 months already!!! Crazy! Daryl and I are so blessed by her: We can't even imagine our lives without her... much less remember our lives before her! We are so in love with Miss Libby!
On another note, we would really appreciate all of your prayers for us and for the work with YFC. Daryl's computer broke and he needs a new one. Unfortunately there have been a bunch of computers needing replacements or fixing, so there isn't very much money left for that. It also doesn't help that YFC is in the process of renovating a building that they just bought either! We are praying that people will send in money for Daryl to get a computer and so that he can get a server for the office. He needs a fairly decent computer since he is the tech guy at work and does a lot of network stuff. I won't try to explain all that he does, mostly because I don't really get it. ;) Also they need a decent server because the system they have right now for data saving and the back up saving of data is really unreliable. They have already had to pay for some data recovery, and we are just really thankful that it had nothing to do with financial information and donor information.
Please pray that the finances would come into place! If you are interested in knowing more, Daryl did a post on it as well with some more information. Thanks for supporting our family and we really appreciate the prayers!
I'll keep you posted on the situation.
