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.

Spring has sprung

Lily was traveling during her 5 month birthday, so her next report will have to wait until 6 months. I told her it was the same as the rule that says you can skip mass when you're on vacation. Same thing for bloggers. In the meantime, Lily has been a busy girl! She went on another plane trip to Texas over Mom's spring break, and once again, she was a great traveler. So far she has been awesome on planes and seems to stay quiet even when the other kids on the plane are going bananas.

After a fairly mild Winter, Spring is here, and things have been starting to bloom. It was so pretty! That is until we got close to a foot of heavy, wet snow that did quite a number on the delicate Spring blossoms. Now that things have melted, the weather is gorgeous, so the family went for a walk around the neighborhood. Lily made her first trip in her big stroller, and since she needed to make it her own - she threw up all over it.

Like my other hat?

Too cute!

This past week, Lily got the chance to go to Austin, TX to spend the day with her cousin, Luke, and her brand new cousin, Abby. Nana got them matching outfits, and then the photo session began. It's really hard to get three little kids to all look good in a picture. It's really hard just to get them to look!
