Last day of Vacation.

Well, today was the last day of Christmas Vacation that Aaron had off of work. He goes back tomorrow, and us girls will miss him a lot! We sure did enjoy having him home to hang out with! I love watching Aaron with our girls, he is so amazing with them. My love for him grows each day for countless reasons, but it grows even more when I watch him with Libby & Presley. They sure do love him, and I know he would do anything for them.

Libby is starting to eat a little more (YAY!) The past two days, she has come up to me, tugged on my jeans saying mama, & then will start sucking her thumb. Sucking her thumb is Libby's trademark, we know she only does this when she is A) Hungry, or B)tired. So tonight when she came up to me while I was cooking spaghetti for dinner and tugged on my jeans, & then the thumb, I was a little confused as to if she was hungry or not since Aaron had fed her a bottle an hour ago? But then I asked if she was hungry, and she signed MILK! I was like YES she signed, it's a first :) So I made her a quick 4oz bottle, and sure enough, she had it all!!! Then she wanted to help me make dinner, and ate a whole toddler sized bowl of spaghetti too!! Libby sure does love spaghetti, and kept saying mmmmmmmmmmm, and good good good :)


After dinner, she was covered in spaghetti sauce. From her ears, to all over her face, to her armpits even. She was wearing a white shirt, and I'm just glad my OCD self thought to take it off before we strapped her into her high chair! Man is she a messy eater, but key word in there is eater, and she ate a lot!! Libby LOVES to take baths in our master bathroom, the tub is huge, and she just loves it. It gives me anxiety because she is so small, and likes to stand up and walk the sides of it, and it's an easy slip hazard for her. I usually take baths with her, because she will play longer, and it's just habit from when I was pregnant with Presley, and bending over the tile tub in our house in Guam was not fun.. so I just got use to taking them with her. This evening though, I decided to just fill it up for her, and filled it with bubbles. Which was a BIG hit, she LOVED them. hehehe, classic Libby face here. Her expressions are priceless :)

One of my favorite things, is after bath time, we dry her hair, and it's always SO curly. Aaron said tonight he thinks its safe to say that She has inherited my natural curly hair. I think he is right, and I love her curls! I just wish they stayed that curly all day long. Her hair is getting curlier as it gets longer I have noticed. So cute!

One of my fav pics from today, was the one below. Aaron was putting Libby to bed, and I was going to turn off the bathroom light, when a line of animals caught my eye. Libby did this ALL on her own. Aaron & I stood there baffled, and amazed that she aligned them all in a row in the same direction even! Neither of us has ever lined them up like that, so it's all her. She is so smart. I know I say this all the time, but even though they have their developmental delays in gross motor skills, BOTH Libby & Presley are SMART as can be. They amaze me, and are always teaching me things. Today Libby kept trying to say "apple" (she loves apples by the way) but then would get so proud of herself that she was so close to saying it that she would draw out the E on the end and start laughing. So it would end up being Aaaaappleeeeeeeeeeeeee heeehheeee hee :) She cracks me up. She has such a bubbly personality, and always has a way of brightening my day.
