"I love you"

Libby just learned to say "I love you". It is so sweet, and really has gotten me through some tough spots the last couple of days.

In fact, she has mastered the pronoun 'you' in the last two or three days. Before that, she was referring to everyone in the third person. She still does sometimes, but the baby talk is going fast.

The love she shows for her baby brother is amazing. Today, Ari climbed the five stairs to the second level. It was an add on, and they left the kitchen window. Ari likes to crawl up the stairs so that he can pull up to the window and look into the kitchen. He crawled up there today, and we didn't immediately move him. We were close by, and he was so proud of himself. It totally upset Libby though. She was so angry with us that we didn't move him, and so worried that he'd fall and hurt himself.

She kept saying, "Ari baby fall, Mama! Move baby, mama!" I picked him up, laughing and saying, "I'm sorry you have to get down, but you're freaking your sister out"

A few minutes later, Libby pipes up with, "Ari baby freak me out, mama! Climb stairs!"
