Flashback Friday

Lilly has grown so much and is doing so many big girl things now! She tried to pull up on the not-so-baby-safe coffee table tonight for the first time! She is "crawling"/belly flopping and scooting on her bottom to get around. She is also really silly and laughing, giggling, singing, "talking", blowing raspberries etc. The other day she said "okay" in response to a question, she is quite entertaining!! She is in love with the dogs now too, watching them all time,calling them, feeding them bits of her meals and giggling at them constantly!

Here is a fun comparison of how different she is!!!!!!

What Lilly Does When She Doesn't Like Dinner

Here is a silly video of Silly Miss Lilly making it clear she was not going to eat grains for dinner!

Getting Closer To Crawling

Here are some pictures of Lilly as she gets even closer to crawling. She doesn't like having to practice but is getting more and more motivated to move on her own. Plus she just looks oh so cute in her pink and gray polk-a-dot outfit!

Flashback Friday - Mother's Day

We were way too busy to get a Mother's Day post up in time so here is a flashback of my First Mother's Day. We are SO happy to have Lillian in our lives, what a joy it is to be her Mom! She is so adorable and has such a sweet and endearing little personality that is developing more and more each day. What a precious baby!

Sunny Days

We have had a surprising amount of good weather here lately. Here are some cute pictures of Lilly exploring the grass, enjoying the sun and looking cute in an outfit she will soon outgrow.

She hated the hat but looked pretty cute enjoying the nice sunny day.

Building With Blocks - Video Edition

Here is Lilly "building" blocks.

Building With Blocks, Reaching For Hugs

Here are some pictures of Lilly knocking down blocks, a new favorite game.

Sitting up like a big girl wearing some big girl pajamas waiting for the block towers to be built.

Knocking down the block towers and waiting for more to be built.

Sweetly smiling at the camera.

Doing her new cutest trick yet, reaching to ask to be picked up.

Busy Biking Beauty

We had a very busy weekend of biking and enjoying as much of the nice weather this weekend! Ryan got an adorable little helmet for Lilly as well as a great bike trailer. Here are some cute pictures of her in her helmet and trailer.

She was less than thrilled to wear her helmet (it was too big for her) and kept trying to take it off.

Here she is all bundled up in her trailer ready to go.

Flashback Friday - Then and Now

Lillian will be 8 months old this weekend. What a perfect time to share and compare some photos of when we first brought her home and now. Time is going so fast and we are having so much fun! Everyday she is doing something new and even more adorable than before!

The first picture she smiled in.

And now she is all smiles all the time!

Baby Loves Disco

We took Lilly to a "Baby Loves Disco" concert a few weeks ago. It was awesome, perfect for babies and young kids! So much fun! We will totally go again!

Here is Lilly in front of the sign.

Again in front of the sign with a silly grin.

On Daddy's shoulders laughing it up!

Dancing with Mommy, they had all sorts of things to dance with, scarves, shakers, hulu hoops (we didn't try those) and a bubble machine that Lilly really liked! Mommy did 100% of the dancing for the family at this concert.

Another goofy grin from both Lilly and Mommy.

We had an awesome time! They also had a nice chill out zone with toys, coloring station, etc. etc. So much fun!

Lilly's Baby Talk Video

Here is a video of Lilly "talking" a little bit.

Farmers Market Fun With The Rogers

We joined the Rogers last weekend at their impressive farmers market. We all filled up the back of strollers with yummy food, watched Coen make lots of friends, admired Eli's crawling skills and enjoyed the nice weather together. Here are some pictures of our outing.

Lilly with a super goofy grin hanging out with Eli.

The dads, kids and gear.

Lilly later in the day showing off another cheesy smile.

Flashback Friday - Starwars Party

We went to a StarWars Birthday Party a few weeks ago for Ryan's co-workers' daughter but never got a chance to post the pictures. So here they are, Lilly wearing her barf vader t-shirt and posing with Chewbaca who reminded us a lot of Uncle Travis for some reason....

Aww.. baby's first tattoo.. yes she had to have a star wars tattoo and got pretty funny looks at diaper change time at daycare I'm sure!

With my Dad, showing off her Barf Vader T. She still wore a girly headband and skirt so she woulnd't be mistaken for a boy.

And here with my Mom. The party was also a pajama party (more themes the better when you are a kid) so that explains the pj's.

And posing with Daddy in her cute t-shirt and Princess Leia like head band.
