Lily says "hi" all the time!!   The video quality isn't the greatest, but you can definitely hear her saying hi!

Testing out her new chair!  It is perfect!

Opening her first Christmas present with extended family last weekend!!  She was more interested in the bow and wrapping paper than anything else. :)

Lily had a busy few weeks.  Her aunt, uncle, 6 year old cousin, and 2 puppies from Texas stayed with us Thanksgiving week.   Lots of company and lots of visiting.   Here are just a few cute moments we were able to capture.    

Helping mommy clean.  

Princess Lily.  Her cousin Ava made both of them tiaras, Ava was being camera shy.

Helping mommy cook Thanksgiving dinner.  

Puppy kisses.  Zues was an 8 week old puppy who stayed with us.  So sweet!

I pull myself up on everything!!

Pumpkin dessert is yummy!

Swinging at Grandpa and Grandma's.

Fun in the snow!

Bedtimes stories with mom and Ava. :)

Crazy Hair in the Morning! It's as if though she is saying, "Hey-no pictures yet!"

Lily can't believe she is 10 months old already!

If you look closely you can see 2 teeth!

Fall Fun!!

9 months

Lily is 20 pounds, 9 ounces and in the 85th percentile for weight and 27.5 inches and 47th percentile for height.   Here are a few pictures from the last 2 weeks, they are harder and harder to capture because she just doesn't hold still. We will have to work on her "pose." :)

First cupcake, apparently eating cupcakes is very instinctual for babies.  Lily needed no instructions and left only crumbs behind.

My new "big girl" car seat, I am not quite sure about this yet.

Lunch at Mall of America!!

Acting all smug in her puma gear.

Are you sure I can't sleep here, just this once?

Happy 9 months to me.

What's that on your head?

Notice the whale spout pony tail on top of her head. :)

Lily's Latest :)

• She says "da da da da" all the time.  We ask her to say, "mama" or "puppy," and her response is always "dadadadada"
• No teeth yet.
• Loves baby food, her favorites would be puffs, mangoes, and homemade applesauce.  She is very interested in anything we are eating.
• Everything goes in her mouth.
• She gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth, but not crawling quite yet.
• Super happy, social, and vocal.  She just loves being around people and smiles at anyone who talks to her.  
• Loves being outside.

We truly enjoy and cherish each and every stage.  

Future musician?

Feeding herself puffs. :-)

8 months

Lily is such a blessing, we are so grateful to have the opportunity to parent her.  Here are a few pictures from the past month.   She sits up and rolls around like a pro!!
