Libby and Dory are becoming good friends. Libby loves to have someone to play with but I think Dory's attraction to this friendship has more to do with the food that gets dropped on the floor these days. Nonetheless, they get along very well. Dory will be having surgery on her acl next week and should be ready for another game of chase in a few weeks.
Look who has learned to smile! I love it when she smiles and tells stories!
Another rare picture of both of them together. My two girls...
Sarah is getting more alert and interactive these days. Thankfully that also means that she has awake time that she doesn't spend nursing. (Any advice on how to curb the red eye? It seems like almost every picture I take of Sarah she has red eye.)
More smiles! (She likes getting a clean diaper).
Doesn't this look like a good way to spend a nice summer day?
Libby LOVES to "drive" Ian's tractor. There is a two year old across the street who has a battery operated John Deere tractor. He took Libby for a ride around his yard the other day. Too funny! She refused to drive it, but had no objection to riding along next to Casey.
After our walk, we sometimes pop in to visit the goats and sheep at the farm near the park. 
Pooh Bear has become Libby's treasured baby. He gets diapers and diaper changes, she shares her milk and snacks with him too. We have been trying to discourage her sharing her meals with him as that is often very messy. So in order to keep Pooh safe and clean, we often times have to sit him at the table with his own plate of food...ugh. Fortunately, that passifies Libby enough to get her to eat her own meal.
Look who can lift her head up now!
This was her first day in her "new" pool. She had a grand time splashing and practicing her kicks for swimming.
No more high chair...now Libby sits at the table in a booster seat.
Sarah likes to spend time in the baby gym.
We got a great deal on a sandbox from Craig's list...I highly recommend it if you are ever looking for kids stuff. (We got the swing set there too). Libby can see the swing set from her bedroom window. When I go in in the morning and open her shade, she looks out the window and says "set, set". We come downstairs and she climbs up on a chair to look out the window and point "set, set". So needless to say, we spend a lot of time out on the "set". It is great to have a place for her to play right in our own yard. The most challenging part is trying to get her back into the house for lunch or dinner. 8-)
That's it for this round! I can't believe how quickly they are growing up! Libby is already coming out with short sentences. The other day when Ian went in to get her out of her crib, she looked at him and said "Daddy Kiss Nose". So of course he did. Last week, I was reading an alphabet book with her and we got to the part "S Salamanders Singing" and Libby looked at me and said "S Sarah". Wow! I didn't teach her that! It's amazing the connections being made in that little head! And Sarah is just growing like a weed. She is weighing in at 12 pounds as of her 2 month appointment. It won't be long before she is chasing after Libby. Sarah is already pretty good at standing and holding her head up (of course we have to hold on to her...) Until next time... Enjoy the remnants of summer. We're going to!
