			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We went to the pool yesterday and had a great time.  Libby had to wear the 3T bathing suit I bought her for next year because her 24 month and 2T swim suits were too small!  I can&#8217;t even believe it.</p>
<p>Libby continues to be fearless!  She loved to sit on the edge of the pool and jump by herself into the water/Mike&#8217;s arms.  She also liked to sit on the edge of the baby pool and kick her legs in the water.  We&#8217;ve been having great weather (no air conditioning for a week), so we didn&#8217;t stay at the pool very long as Libby was starting to shiver and turn a little purple!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had the privalge of standing up in the wedding the first weekend in August for Eliza and Pete.  I feel like I&#8217;ve been talking with Eliza about the details for months and let me tell you the day was perfect and not a detail was missed.  I love the colors and the use of one of my favorite flowers: sunflowers!  You can check out a slide show of the wedding <a href="http://monicazphotography.blogspot.com/2008/08/eliza-pete-are-married.html" target="_blank">here</a> (don&#8217;t laugh too hard at the pics of me dancing with the 10 and under crowd!).</p>
<p>p.s. One recommendation for any brides to be: we wore dresses from Ann Taylor and they were awesome - well designed, comfortable, easy to order, free returns, you can use discounts and the dresses have lots of great details (such as snaps to secure your bra straps in place - love that!).</p>

<p>I love how Mike and Libby both have on floppy hats&#8230;like father like daughter!  As you can see, Libby is still sporting the snaggle tooth.  My fingers are crossed that her tooth will have a mate soon!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is by far Libby&#8217;s favorite song - she knows most of the hand motions and the last word to each stanza &#8220;tooooowwwwwne&#8221;.  This video doesn&#8217;t capture it, but she usually says town in a low voice and draws out the &#8220;ow&#8221;.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll hear Nana singing the words on this video.  Nana was nice enough to come out and watch Libby when I was in Chicago.  Libby learned all kinds of new tricks while Nana was here including the wonders of the <a href="http://mike.shannonandmike.net/2008/07/22/libby-loves-skinny-cows/" target="_blank">skinny cow</a> and how delicious Dairy Queen can be before lunch time.  In the future I anticipate Libby standing and cheering when I have to go to Chicago or asking me to go away so Nana can come.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WOW - long time, no post.  The week of the July 14 I was up in Chicago and got very behind at work, at home and the blog has suffered!  I&#8217;m back and have lots to fill you in on!</p>
<p>We had a great weekend - I don&#8217;t think they get much better than this!  Friday Libby and I went with our Mom&#8217;s Group to the Zionsville Fire Station for a tour.  We had a fun time - Libby showed all the firemen her babydoll and blew them all kisses when we left!  That night we headed to our church for its annual festival and Libby tried her first inflateable bounce house.  She seemed to enjoy it, but didn&#8217;t stray far from the entrance or Mike.  I think she liked watching the other kids (all two of them and both close to her age) bounce.</p>
<p>Saturday we headed to the farmer&#8217;s market to stock up on fresh fruits and veggies.  I headed to yoga and Mike and Libby brought my car for its first oil change (what a treat for me!).</p>
<p>Saturday afternoon we were joined by the Pfisters and the Cartwright&#8217;s for dinner.  Libby and Reese played well together.  Libby had a minor melt down when Reese wanted to play with Bobby Doll (note for future play dates: keep Bobby Doll in Libby&#8217;s crib) and there were some tears over the rocking fish (which I made the mistake of bringing out) - the tears are going to be beneficial in the long run (I think) - Libby&#8217;s starting to learn more and more about sharing!</p>
<p>I ran some errands this morning, did some laundry.  We ate an early dinner and headed over to Lion&#8217;s Park for the last of their Sunday concert series.  We had a great time!  I thought for sure that we&#8217;d end up on the playground, but Libby sat on the blanket we set out.  She looked at books, played with little people, bubbles and entertained the (older) couples all around us!</p>
<p>I asked Mike to post some pics and he forgot,  you can look on <a href="http://mike.shannonandmike.net">his blog</a> for a few pics from Sunday&#8217;s concert!</p>
