Lily's first Christmas! 2007

Almost Christmas!!

Bedtime stories

Lily sitting on the floor with a basket full of toys (the pillow is a precautionary measure by a paranoid mom...)

Lily loves the camera...maybe because it's in her face all the time! :)

All those toys and still not happy?!?!?!

Lily's 3rd hockey game this year! We are better prepared each game (she was warm enough and we had the pacifier and a bottle this time!). Next time we'll remember to bring the PJ's and put them on in the car before we drive home!! Parenting is definitely a learning process...

Andrew got to wear his early Christmas present: His Thrashers hockey jersey (thanks to Mom, Dad, and me!). We had a great time and we even won!! :)

Lily loves the blow up hockey sticks they gave out game night!

Lily's photo shoot

Lily and I went to Brittany's house the other day and got the pleasure of having a Christmas photo shoot. Lily was giggling at Kaylin and sitting up all by herself; we caught her in the perfect mood! Just wanted to share a few of the fantastic pictures Britt took of miss Lily...it was hard to pick only a few!

Lily update

Lily's 6 month check-up report:

15.8 lbs (50th percentile) and 26 3/4 inches (90th percentile). Long and lean, baby!

She continues to change and surprise us daily. It's amazing how much we love this little girl.

Just wanted to add a couple new photos from the last week. Here's Lily all dressed up for my work Christmas party!

Fuzzy head ready for bed!

Lily 6 months old!

Lily is 6 months old now! WOW!

She's getting pretty good at sitting up, and actually prefers to sit when playing on the floor. She still needs a little bit of support, but it won't be much longer. She can grab on to her toys, and likes to shake them, usually knocking herself on the head! Here are a few sitting up pics...

We went up to Grandma and Grandpa's again this weekend while Andrew was out of town. We had a great time; we made a couple taggie blankets, mom tied some Christmas bows for me, we went Christmas shopping, went on walks (in the 70 degree weather!!!! What?), and Lily got a bow too! :) Lily is "talking" a lot more now...Mom calls it singing. She's becoming quite a chatterbox.

Lily loves to suck on apples and celery. Yum!

The other day we were playing on the floor and she rolled right up under the Christmas tree.
She did manage to pull the little angel ornament off...but nothing breakable is too low anymore.

Lily 5 3/4 months

Lily is changing so much! I had to put in a slide show because there were so many pictures I wanted to share. Our friends Gray and Jason were in town for Thanksgiving, so we got to spend some time with them. That was a lot of fun! We sure wish they lived closer.
Let's see; what's new with Lily? We have discovered that Lily likes to put blankets over her face. Go figure. It's the funniest thing. She'll kick her legs and get all excited when she finally gets it over her face. Maybe the beginnings of peek-a-boo? She can also get her passy in her mouth by herself now. She's discovered she can "squeal". I've started the weaning process and we are doing one feeding a day with a bottle and she's actually doing pretty well. Hooray! She's getting better at sitting up and still only rolls one way. She still loves taking walks, which is great for me too!
Things are going great, and she's keeping me busy. We are looking forward to her first Christmas!! Let's hope she doesn't topple the tree over!
