Another Month!

Guess who is 3 months today!?  This cute girl!

This is the smile I love so much and this isn't even the whole smile.

Libby is so fun.  She is such a happy baby most of the time.  She LOVES to be involved in whatever is going on and sometimes will get cranky if she knows she is being left out.  She loves James and will watch him all day.  I'm afraid that she will be so anxious to run after James that she will become mobile much sooner than I want. Oh well.

Motherhood

We have an app on our iPad that plays Mormon Messages.  James loves to watch them especially this one.  He'll watch it over and over.  I love it though.  It makes me cry every time.  I love my babies so much and even though we have our rough days, I wouldn't change it for the world.  How grateful and blessed I am to be a mother.  It is a crowning privilege and I am so grateful for a hard working husband that allows me to be able to stay home with my children.  Being a mother is the greatest job in the whole world!

“Motherhood is not a hobby, it is a calling. You do not collect children because you find them cuter than stamps. It is not something to do if you can squeeze the time in. It is what God gave you time for.”

Libby's Blessing

We blessed Libby last week. Finally.  We were supposed to bless her the first Sunday in January but the weather was too dangerous so we weren't able to make it to church.  Gregg gave Libby a beautiful blessing and Libby was so good thru the whole thing.  She didn't even make a peep.  We were sad that we weren't able to have family there but it was still a great experience.

This dress has a lot of history behind it and I am so glad Libby was able to be apart of it!

Libby - 2 Months

We love this sweet little thing!  I love being to know her as more and more of her personality comes out.  Libby is a STUBBORN girl.  It is her way or the high way but not even the high way.  She is very vocal and loud if she needs something and it needs to happen right now, thank you very much.  She also loves attention and sometimes will get cranky if she thinks she is being left out. But she has the prettiest smile which she is more than willing to give if she does get your attention.  Seriously though her little smile is the best.  Her whole face just lights up.  I love it!  Libby also started sleeping 9-10 a night ( HALLELUJAH! ).  It just happened suddenly. One night she was getting up every 4 hours then BAM the next night she was sleeping thru the night.  I'm not complaining though!  Libby is such a cutie and I love that she is apart of our family!

I had to put this on because this is a rare thing.  Usually she has to be wrapped and held to sleep.  I was just sad that I couldn't leave her like that.

I rave about her smile so of course she won't do it.

Christmas 2013

This year we stayed home. There was just not enough time to go see any family with the basketball schedule.  But despite not seeing any family, we had a fabulous time! It was so fun to plan Christmas for our own family and to start our own traditions.  The weather even warmed up from the negatives so that we could go outside and play in the snow a number of times! 
Christmas morning James did really well and didn't touch the presents til we told him he could.   He loved opening the presents.  It took him a while then he didn't want to stop.  We definitely got spoiled thanks to our generous parents!  We also had a great time skyping with family!  I love both my families and am so grateful for them!

Cutie on Christmas morning!

Cute pajamas from Grandma and Grandpa Wilson.  They say "Bear Cheeks"!

All bundled up!

For some reason James is really attracted to the dirty snow.

Sledding!

Libby isn't too happy here, but she did have a good time.

Sorry I can't get the picture to rotate.

Love

I love this picture!  I love that James loves Libby and wants to take care of her.  Today while Libby was laying on the floor, James went and got his blanket and some books.  He covered Libby and himself then proceeded to read to her.  So stinking cute!  I love my kids!

One Month!!

I forget sometimes how fast time flies with kids. Libby is a month old today.  Libby is definitely in charge.  She likes things to be her way like bouncing the right way or she has a hard time going to sleep.  I better feed as soon as she is ready or she gets super upset.  She likes to be on the move.  Sitting doesn't last more than a few second.  Libby likes to be held while sleeping which makes it hard to get much done.  To go along with her in charge personality, her hair refuses to lie flat even when it's greasy.  I've tried to dry it flat but that doesn't work either.  Oh well it is so cute. 

Pretty little lady!

Libby is starting to smile.  She does it all the time!

Love this little girl!
