Libby 8 Years Old
Libby turned eight this week. That went fast. Again, picture will be forth coming.
Libby is doing well in second grade. She does well at math. She reads like crazy. She has read all of the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" book since Christmas. She can read one in an afternoon. She will read almost anything, I don't think we have found a type of book she doesn't want to read yet. She is really good in any class that she is in.
She loves playing with friends and is really good at making sure that everyone is included and has someone to play with.
She is a great help around the house. She can get Syd out of her crib, I don't always want to go all the way down the stairs to get her! She is really good at helping with dishes and vacuuming and cleaning up around the house. She is good at playing with Sidney and Henry and can't wait for another sibling.
She has been taking piano for over a year now and is doing really well!
Her favorite colors are pink and purple.
Libby always has a big smile and loves to be tickled and laugh and generally have lots of fun.

I figured it out!
As kids we are always amazed at what our mom can remember. Birth weight, exact time of birth, everyone's birthdays, who has what homework to do, who wears what size clothes and shoes, favorite colors, all that stuff. But then we laugh at them when they can't find their keys.
I now know why they can't remember the easy stuff.
You never know when the battery on your car is going to go out and now you need a code to make your radio work again. Where is the card with the code on it? Never mind that we have moved since then and it has almost been 4 years, I should know where it is.
My brother is fixing some plumbing things at our house. He needs to turn the main valve off. It isn't budging, he has tried two different keys. I have to remember if we have ever managed to use that valve and did it work like it was supposed to. The answer, yes, it works, we used it this summer.
You never know when someone will ask you a crazy question and expect you to recall all the details. My keys, my purse, my phone, the kids can look real fast and find them. Or thankfully with phones you can just call it. Easy to fix. The other stuff not so much, so that is what we try to fill our brains with.
Did I ever mention we did finally find Henry's karate picture from last year, we now have this years too!

Sidney at 18 Months
I will add a picture later. Lazy I am.
I figured that since she is 18 months we should try the 18 month clothing. Most of the 12 month still fits, but we need to do laundry. I put a way cute outfit on her this morning, its too small. How does that work? We just might be into the 24month/2T before too long.
Sidney is learning new things all the time. She LOVES talking on the phone. She used to YELL MA! at me all the time, now I am "mommy" that almost sounds like Mammy. Syd loves dancing to music. She loves just talking in general. Some people look at us like, "I don't understand what she is saying, please translate." Still mostly baby talk. We don't know what she is saying either. Sometimes it sounds like something. Often it sounds like she is saying "what are you doing?" She gives great hugs! Her smile just lights up her big blue eyes. Her hair is starting to have a little natural curl. Her eyebrows have gone brown so I guess she won't be staying blond. She loves baby dolls. She has pretty much taken all of Libby's dolls. She gives them hugs/loves and feeds them. She is starting in on her 2 yr old tantrums. Its funny, she actually does the whole throw herself on the floor and pulls really sad faces. Too bad it just makes us laugh. She is much more adventurous than the other two. She likes to open cupboards, doesn't pull anything out thankfully. She likes to go into my parents house and call out, "Bampa? Bampa?" She is also learning how to help clean up. She tried to help unload the dishwasher the other day. I don't think I have ever unloaded it so quickly before.
We love her tons and can't wait till she actually starts talking so we know what she is saying. We will probably still want her to stop because it is so much, but she is so cute you just put up with it!

new baby
Every is so nice! So here are some details. Due June 29th. So I am about 10.5 weeks along. The morning sickness is so bad that the unisom didn't work this time, the first prescription I got didn't work and the one I am on now only kind of works. :D Hopefully it will all be done in a just a couple weeks, right? I had a quick ultrasound on Monday, the baby has arms, legs, head, a heart that beats, and it moves!
Anything I am forgetting?
The trips? Yeah, um, I will get to those. I promise. I just don't know when. Sorry!

A great sign of imagination!
I was sitting on the stairs with Sidney today, she was playing with Henry's farm music thingy. (there is a name for it, I know there is . . . ) She gets up, walks over to me, grabs my hand and turns it palm up. I am thinking she is going to grab my hand and take me somewhere or steal my spot. She then proceeds to pretend to take something out of my hand and eat it. Not just once like she is making a mistake thinking I had something but she kept doing it! It was just too cute.
Someday I will tell you more about the trip . . . .
I am busy with other things.
Like trying to keep food down. Stupid morning sickness. :|

Sidney 15 Months
I will get back to the trip sometime soon I promise. In the mean time there has been two big races. . . oops!
Sidney had her 15 month Appt today.
Her weight started out at 10% when she was 2 weeks old. She is now up to 27%. This is pretty good for my kids. That is the highest she has been for her weight.
Her Length/height started out in the 25%, she is now up in the 53%!!! Holy cow!. At 12 months she was only 9%. Hopefully that was the lady measuring doing it wrong.
Her head Circumference started out at 9%, thank heavens. She has gained every time it has been measured! She almost doubled her head % in the past 3 months. She is up to the 81%. She must be a Gibson, she sure didn't get it from me!
She started walking 2 weeks ago, 4 months sooner than the other two learned. She is learning some sign language and loves beeping anyone's nose or giving high fives. She also loves "talking." She sometimes even looks and sounds like she is yelling at you for doing something wrong. She gets sad if you tell her no but can usually take it. She is almost alway happy, most everyone is jealous of that one :D She gives great hugs and is so much fun to play with.
Love you Sidney!
