Crawling!

Well, it finally happened - Lily is not just crawling one or 2 steps. Two nights ago she scaled the basement. Here's a video of her crawling yesterday:

And here is a picture of her today, on her 10 month birthday. Hopefully we will get a chance to take "formal" 10 month pictures tomorrow.

"I got the monkey!"

Quenching Lily's Thirst

Lily has recently been drinking water from a sippy cup. Tonight however, she decided she wanted water from my cup. I thought her mouth was hysterical.

Once her thirst was quenched, Lily played with her shopping cart.

"I know those eggs are in here somewhere..."

"Here they are!"

Chicken & Broccoli

Tonight, Lily informed us that she is ready to eat Chinese food (minus the soy sauce). She had chicken and broccoli for dinner!

Lily's menu has really grown lately. Current favorites include mac and cheese, cut up hamburger, and cheese. We are lucky that Lily's daycare serves a hot lunch everyday. Lily is really enjoying Mr. Raul's cooking!

Maryland v. Wake Forest

This morning, we headed to College Park for the Maryland/Wake Forest football game. While we didn't stay very long at the actual game, Lily had a great time tailgating.

The Whole Family :)

"Mom, your kisses are tickling me!"

"This tailgating thing is fun!"

"Are you sure I can't have this soda?"

Yom Kippur

We spent Yom Kippur in New Jersey with my family. Lily had a good time playing with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle David, and Great-Grandma Irene. She even enjoyed her time at synagogue on Thursday morning.

"Hi Great-Grandma, do you want to play?"

"Is everybody looking at me?"

"Uncle Dave!"

"You are a good playmate, Grandma"

An "Interpretive" Reading of Goodnight Moon

Lily LOVES her books. Here is a cute video of her "reading" (and by reading I mean blowing raspberries) Goodnight Moon. You may need to turn your sound up.

So you're wondering now: Sarah, what's up with Lily's hair??? Well, she's been pulling her barrette out at daycare and putting it in her mouth. She's never done this at home. Her teacher suggested the fabric ponytail holders. Don't worry, this is only a daycare hairdo. We still use the cute barrettes on the weekends.

Rosh Hashanah

Yesterday, we returned from Pittsburgh and Lily's first Rosh Hashanah. She celebrated the new year in style with the family.
