Happy Thanksgiving

I hope you all had a better Thanksgiving than we had! Mike and I had the stomach flu and didn't get to (or want to) participate in any Thanksgiving feasts. Libby, however, did go to Thanksgiving with my family. I was so very thankful that they were able to come get her so we could lay in bed all day and try to get better. She had a good time playing with her uncle and eating cheesecake. It's too bad I took the belly shot photo the day before because if I waited 2 more days then you could hardly tell I was pregnant! :)

New Belly Shot

I went to the doctor yesterday and was convinced this baby is too big, but she says that it's just fine. If you look at me, I feel HUGE already. People have started asking how far along I am and when I say 13 weeks they are unsure what to say.


For comparisons sake, here is a picture of me at 15 weeks when I was pregnant with Libby.


I think I'm bigger now than I was then, but I'll let you all decide!

Reindeer??

This morning while we were driving to daycare there were 2 wild turkeys walking in a field along the road. I pointed them out to Libby and then looked back to see if she was looking the right way. She was looking out the wrong window and missed them but said she was looking for reindeer instead. I think she might have her holidays a little mixed up, of course, Libby and I are going to put our Christmas Tree up tomorrow so maybe it's my fault!

Ohcheys

With Thanksgiving a week away I thought I'd make our blog festive. Not to mention Libby has really developed an interest in "ohcheys" or turkeys as she calls them. She has painted several pictures of turkeys but refuses to believe that we will eat turkey next Thursday. In fact, it makes her a little upset to hear about eating turkey. She also doesn't like to think she eats chicken or any other animal. She just thinks it's nuggets, hamburger, etc. but doesn't really know what makes those things.

My Little Fashion Star

I took Libby's picture this morning because I thought she looked SO cute! Well, I asked her if it was alright to take the picture and she says, "Yes!" and then posed like this. The only part of her outfit that you can't really see is her pink camo tights. Something about this outfit says "Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader" to me. Maybe it's the furry boots....

New Blog Name

I've been thinking that pretty soon we're going to have to change our blog name from "We Work for Libby" to something different with Chub on the way. Not to mention that Libby is getting to be pretty self-sufficient and is able to "work" for herself a little bit more now. I just don't know what to change it to yet. Any ideas?

Oh-Uh

I got this picture in an email recently and I'm pretty sure it will happen at our house. I guess I need to get rid of all the markers!

Naughty Libby

Libby and her friend Jake have been getting into lots of trouble at daycare. Actually, let's correct that - Libby has been letting Jake take the fall for lots of trouble that they are causing together. Remember how Libby "made it rain" on Jake's head? That day she ran out of the room when the sitter came in to see what they were doing leaving Jake standing there soaking wet. Well, she has now started to blame lots of things on Jake. About a week ago Libby was caught at nap time in Lilly's bed with Lilly. Jake was found on the floor in a pile of curtains. (They have curtains up between the beds so the kids will sleep better and not talk.) It appeared that Jake had done the pulling down by himself but later that night the truth came out.

Mommy: Libby we stay in our own bed at naptime.
Libby: Okay. Poor Jake.
Mommy: What happened to Jake?
Libby: Jake in trouble. Jake pulled curtains.
Mommy: Oh?
Libby: Libby pulled curtains too.
Mommy: Oh?!

So we called Ms. Kim to tell her Libby was sorry for pulling curtains. Apparently she has a guilty conscience. She was talking about the curtain incident for several days. Then I also found out that anytime she does something naughty at daycare she blames Jake. She's getting really good at throwing him under the bus. They were both also found in Lilly's bed at the same time with Lilly again one day last week. Jake and Libby were each jumping at one end of Lilly's bed just having a grand time.

Halloween

I know this is posted a little late but we left town bright and early Saturday morning and didn't have time to post anything. Libby changed her costume idea right at the last minute. She was a build a bear, but she was supposed to wear her pajamas because she and her bear have the same pajamas. She refused to put them on but we decided her outfit looked similar enough to a different outfit her bear has to go ahead with the idea. We made it to 2 houses and she had enough of her ears. Then after about 5 houses she wanted her jacket on. So, after about 10 houses we called it quits and just handed out candy at our house instead. She really had fun with all of it. She loved getting candy and she loved seeing the bigger kids dressed up.



On another note, Mike and I are (as Libby would say) "not sad, HAPPY" about Obama's big win. Libby would also say "Go Go Mama" for Go Obama.
