Food, glorious food!

Ok - so we started solid foods a little while ago, but here a few pictures. She's so cute!

7 month report

So - I am now closer to my first birthday than my actual birth. 7 months and getting bigger everyday! Since we last spoke, there have been some big changes. The biggest news is about two very small teeth that have made their appearance on my lower gums. The hurt like nobody's business right before they came in, but once they came through, I felt so much better. I like to stick out my chin now and show my teeth off to anyone who will take the time to admire them. I think some more may be on the way, because I'm in an inexplicably bad mood these days.

I have decided that being sick is for the birds. I got sick, Daddy got sick, Mommy got sick. It was terrible. I had to go on my first antibiotic because my eyes got so gross that I had a hard time seeing! Now that the sick days have passed, I am looking forward to a happy, healthy summer. Mommy is almost done with school and we are heading to Texas in less than a month. I'll have to phone in my next update from Dallas. Take care!

Love, Lily

And I just thought this one was funny...

Show off those pearly whites!

I got a few shots recently (OK, today) that show off baby girl's newly minted teeth. They are small and really just enamel covered ridges, but her father and I are proud nonetheless.

New pics

Lily had her six month pictures made a couple of weeks ago, and I finally got the pictures on line from JC Penny. Here are a few cute shots from the day. You can't see them, but there are actually two tiny teeth in that adorable mouth. Soon she'll be flashing a mouthful of pearly whites and then ruining them with candy and thumb sucking.

6 months!

Time to check in! Sorry about missing last month's check in, but my life was insane! I was in Dallas visiting my peeps down there and was having way too much fun to blog! So here is the latest in Lily Land! While I was in Dallas I got the hang of rolling over, and it is my favorite thing to do now. The only problem is that I still can't seem to get back over the other way. Very frustrating. No matter how much I try, I can't seem to figure it out. It's very tiring, so sometimes I just put my head down and rest until I have the energy to try again. Turns out that its way nicer to sleep on my tummy anyway.

I had a great long vacation with both Mom and Dad since they were on Spring Break. I didn't go to day care for 4 weeks! I've been back for the past two weeks, but in no time it will be summer and the folks and I will be very busy. We have lots of plans to visit different people and places and I can't wait! Here are a few recent pictures so you can see how big I've gotten. See you all soon!

love, Lily

Happy Girl!

Concentrating so hard...

What's up, Mommy?

Hippity Hop

Happy Easter, everyone! Lily had a great day with the Cribari, Wismer, and Maring families! The food was fantastic and everyone had a great time. Lily managed to get into the spirit of the day by temporarily growing rabbit ears. Once she was done with them, she shed the ears and let a few others join in the fun!

ZZZZZZZ....

So, after 5.5 months of sleep deprivation, Lily finally slept through the night. She fell asleep early last night, so we thought we were in big trouble for long stretches of awake time later, but after a quick dream feed around 10:30, Lily slept until 6:00 am!!!! Paul was so happy he offered to buy her a car. Good thing she didn't hear that or she might hold him to it someday! Who knows if she will ever do it again, but for now, on a Monday morning, we are all feeling pretty good.
