Asparagus at 8 Months!

This evening we had Anna and Scott over to dinner to meet Chris' parents. You know grandparents want to know who is taking care of their little granddaughter. So, there we were in the midst of a great dinner. Libby had finished her pureed green beans and she was eyeing the asparagus. I thought of cutting it up and giving it to her, but I just opted to give her the entire stalk. She was occupied by that asparagus (and its subsequent replacements) for nearly half an hour.

Happy 8 Months Baby Girl!

Teething Biscuit

Eating has been an adventure for Libby lately. It seems that her tummy doesn't really like food and that she gets rather constipated if she eats ANYTHING. As it turns out, PEARS ARE CONSTIPATING. Who knew?! So far, the things that seem to work are teething biscuits and green beans. Here she is enjoying a teething biscuit for the first time. ALthough the photos don't show it, she was COVERED in barley biscuit.

She was cawing at her sister here...

Look at those eyes!

Celebrating the Harvest

On Sunday Felicity, Libby and I went to the farmstand to get enough stuff to decorate the yard in preparation for Halloween. Chris was working, which is good. Because if he saw this, I'm not sure if he'd laugh or cry. Or, well, commit me.

At the risk of jinxing myself...

LIBBY SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT ON OCT. 1, 2009.

Down at 7, up at 7.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel of sleep deprivation. And it's very very bright.
