Thought I'd better update the blog with all the new info.
Libby had her 9 month exam last week and it looks like she could end up being one of the 'smaller' ones in the Grunau family!!
She was 17ibs 6 oz. and 27" long, which puts her in the 25 percentile for them both! That would explain why we can still keep her in the infant car seat.
Even though she is small in stature she is making up for it in other areas. She is now moving like crazy and she loves to walk along the couch. She has also been standing by herself for a while now and is getting to the point where she can bounce a bit and still stand by herself!! I think that she'll be walking pretty soon!
We have also changed her feeding..... she is also fully on formula now too. Since then it has been like a switch was turned on!! She is so happy and is doing great! Since she has changed to formula she is also sleeping (or at least staying in her crib) for around 12 hours at night!!! It's been great... last night we put her down at 8:45 and she woke up at 8:50 this morning. (I actually think that she woke up earlier but she played awhile).
She is starting to teeth again though, so now that we have this nice routine going I am sure that it will change soon.... Libby always seems to like keeping us on our toes!
I'll keep you all posted on when the walking happens.

Well two weeks ago on Sunday Libby started crawling, and now this Sunday she pulled herself up!! It first happened at the nursery at church... I was working in there, watching some of the other children and then I looked and saw her standing by a toy. Now she loves to pull herself up on her plane, although she is still struggling with the couch.
On another note, we are finally getting around to sleeping well at night. I have it now that I don't feed her until the morning (instead of 5), so I figure it's just a matter of time and we should be sleeping through the night again!! Here's hoping!!

So I know it's been forever since I have posted... all I can say is sorry! Since my last post we have been working through some sleeping issues, my parents came to visit, and Libby has learned how to crawl!!
Libby has been mobile for a month already, but she never got the whole on hands and knees crawling thing down. Then last Sunday while my parents and Daryl's parents were over, she just started crawling!! She did perfect, like it was out of a textbook (i don't know if they have a textbook on crawling, but she did it!!).
The problem is now we have a lot of work to do... it's baby-proofing time!! She has already discovered the baskets under the coffee table, so that's been fun!! And man is she fast... if you want to see her crawl, just go to Daryl's blog... there's a video of Libby in action!
I'll try to do better in the blogging world, but I'm not making any promises now that Libby is on the go!
Talk to you later!
By the way, I thought this picture was so weird... Libby looks so different. Daryl was trying to take pictures of her, but she kept crawling towards the camera and she was so fast, Daryl could only get close-ups!
