Libby is a Husker Fan

Libby is a Husker fan already. She is looking forward to her first plane ride and first Husker game. We get to go to Washington to see the Huskers vs. the Huskies September 16th. Libby will be there in all her adorable glory dressed and ready thanks to Uncle Alex (current UNL student). She is the most adorable Cornhusker cheerleader I have ever seen. Now I need to find something to wear.

Lamby

Thank you for the lamby chair, Gigi and Nelsons! It is adorable in Libby's room. She likes to sit and hang out on her chair. She poses and plays dress up on Lamby.

Twin Friends

Libby is so lucky to have so many friends. Play dates are our favorite. Mom and Dad get to hang out with their friends while we smile and coo on the blanket. My matchy matchy friend pictured is Miss Carmella. I call her Carmi. We see each other in the Journey Church nursery, bon fires, Bible Study and more. Carmi shares her hand me downs with me so this time it was fun to both have twin outfits.

Maternity Leave The End

Can you believe Libby is 12 weeks old?! WOW, in the last 12 weeks my heart has doubled in size with love for our daughter. I have been blessed to be at home with her and enjoy every moment of her development: smiles, coos, tracking, focus, bubbles, kicking feet, music recognition, swimming and more. We get to snuggle and nap in the morning, then dance to classic Christian Children's Music, play with the jungle animals in her play gym, talk to the rainforest animals in her swing, help mommy with house work in her carrier, stroller walk, make Rachel Ray dinners, run errands, listen to Veggie Tails on pandora, visit or be visited by friends and family, and did I mention eat, change diapers, bath, eat, change diapers and bath. We have had so much fun. Now we will just condense that all down to evening hours and weekends. Now the fun begins for the grandmas during the day. Thank you Nana and Grammy we are so blessed to place her in your loving arms during the day.

Libby's Hands

Libby is realizing she has hands now. She often kicks her feet but does not realize she controls them. However, her hands now reach and pull up her dress and fits hit the toys above her head. It is so fun to watch her grow and develop. I never did get her to make hand prints for her baby book. So we will not be able to compare her hand size when she is older. I wasn't quite sure how to get the ink, flatten her hand and not then get ink all over before washing it off or staining her hand black. Any suggestions?

Eye Development

High contrast, developmental patterns help develop eye muscles and help Libby focus. No wonder she likes silly giraffe so much. Libby is almost 3 months now and can see all major colors and by 4 months can even categorize and remember them. The symmetry of a face is calming and soothing for young babies. So we have pictures in our look book to show her the smiling faces of our family and friends. If you have a picture you would like us to share of your beautiful face please email it to Libby's mommy for the look book.

Jogging

We went for our first family jog last night. Thanks for the stroller! Libby loves the outdoors and smiled up as Daddy pushed the stroller. Soon she was asleep as we enjoyed the setting sun and tried to figure out how we can continue to have an active workout routinely. We like to go together so we can catch up and live as example to Libby that working out should be a part of our lives to stay healthy and take care of the body God has given us. We are counting down to the 10K Omaha Marathon on September 26th. All 3 of us are running plus Jordan. Come cheer us on or join us. It is nice to work toward a goal. Speaking of goals I am working on getting to my pre pregnancy weight, pray for me to say no to cookies and other yummies.

Libby Swinging

Libby is enthralled by her swing (thank you Nabity Family for sharing). Oh the wonder of rainforest animals. It is amazing to see her experience the world around her with childlike wonder and awe. God's creation is new through her eyes. She is talking to those characters now. What is next in her world of wonder anew...?

Announcements

Who gave me the great idea to create our baby announcements? Actually, I believe that was me with a little bit of overachiever, perfectionist, budget minded, and delirious all mixed into that decision. But finally after almost 10 weeks we can officially announce to our friends and family Elizabeth "Libby" Ann Kubicek was born on June 3, 2010 at 4:27, 7 lbs 9 oz 20 in. We (Jason & Brooke) are her proud, loving parents. Yours will soon arrive...

Play Gym

Libby is so much fun. She is growing and learning more about this world everyday. Her play gym is her new favorite toy. Thank you for introducing it to us Robinsons. She loves entertaining herself and we would rather watch her play and discover things than anything else.

Libby 2 months

Libby is 2 months old now. She is smiling, cooing, enjoying her swing, stroller walks, tummy time and following silly giraffe, mommy and daddy with her eyes. We are so in love with her. We can't believe the joy her tiny life brings to us every day. She is now 11 pounds and 11 ounces and 24 inches long. "Father Abraham" is playing in her room and she is kicking her little legs and waving her little arms. She already loves to worship God. Thanks for the little play CD Aunt Heather, Abbie, Lillie and Maggie. We can't wait for you all to teach her all the moves.

Baby GIRL

Elizabeth "Libby" Ann Kubicek was born on June 3, 2010 at 4:27 p.m. She was 7 pounds 9 ounces and 20 inches long. She changed our lives forever that day and we can't wait to see what God has in store for her life. What a joy. Children are a gift from God. ~Psalm 127:3
