Feeding time

Thought I'd post a picture of Libby's 2nd first feeding!! After a 6 week furlough Libby has resumed on the rice cereal and is still loving it! Already today she did a lot better at eating, she actually tried opening her mouth.... a problem we've had since she was born!! (How in the world is she my daughter.....)
Also her teeth are coming in so quickly, there was a big difference from last night to this morning. it looks like both of her middle bottom teeth are coming in at the same time, but she's taking it like a trooper! She is just a little more cranky and isn't sleeping as well through the night.
She has also started doing her 'scream' talking again, and I must admit I can't wait till she outgrows that!!
For the most part all is well on the Grunau home front!!

So I can't believe that Libby is already 6 months old... it seems to have gone by so fast. She is getting bigger and stronger everyday and just today I started to actually feel her teeth coming (explains the grumpiness for the last few days!!

These pictures were taken when she turned 6 months old.... it's strange she isn't my little baby anymore. She is a lot stronger willed and definitely lets us know what she wants and doesn't want. She had her shots on Thursday and she did really good... just got a little tired that's all. And we have started back on solids now and Libby is really liking it, although she isn't eating as well as she did a month ago. She really enjoys spitting it out!!!

We can't wait until Christmas when we can see a lot of our family and friends. But mostly we are excited to see our families (especially our adorable niece... I think she is the cutest little girl ever!!!) Well in her age group that is... libby is the cutest for hers though!!! ;)

Libby's disappearing lip

Sorry it's been awhile since we have blogged.... for some unknown reason Daryl and I haven't taken any new pictures lately.
Things have been fairly busy. Libby and I both have had colds lately (yes, this is now the third week that Libby has had a cold...), and we have also seemed really busy with life in general.
So update on Libby: She is gaining weight like crazy! We are sure not worried about her in that department any more. She is now sitting up by herself and she is starting to "talk" a lot more... that is it sounds more like she is having a conversation than just saying 'ga ga'. Also as of friday she has started nodding her head too... it's pretty funny looking. She is doing new things everyday and amazed us constantly. I can't believe how smart she is and she's not even 6 months old.
Yesterday was Daryl's birthday so now he is officially a quarter of a century! Daryl's parents came over and babysat Libby while Daryl and I went to 2nd Ave. Grill. It was SOOO good!! It was a great time of getting away and just talking to each other (and just talking adult talk!). Afterwards, we came home and had icecream cake with mom and dad. It was a great evening and I think Daryl had a great birthday!! Daryl has this week off so on Tuesday, Daryl and I are leaving for Barrhead to visit my parents and my family.... I can't wait. But tomorrow our friends Ben and Jenn are coming for a visit which will be a lot of fun!
Well I hope you all are well, and that you have forgiven me for not posting lately!!
