Lily is 6 months old today!

It's crazy to me that Lily is 6 months old today. Talk about time flying!!! Her 6 mo. doctor's appointment is not until next week, so you'll have to say tuned for the official height and weight. We expect she will still be in the 90th percentiles. Since Lily has become a super good independent sitter, I took her 6 month pictures with her sitting on the floor. Here are a few:

A Busy Weekend

Grammy Cookie and the doggies came to visit this weekend. Lily is starting to become more aware of the dogs and seems to like them.

"How do I grow some of these??"

Grammy is feeding Lily some sweet potatoes.

"I LOVE sweet potatoes! They are yummy!!"

And finally, here is a video of Lily playing in her exersaucer.

Cute Pictures

Today we got two extra cute pictures of Lily. Lily has not been sleeping as well at night lately and is still recooperating from traveling to Florida. As a result she has been sleepy during the day, and tonight she fell asleep on Sarah after dinner. It was too cute not to take a picture of.

"So Comfy"

Lily was also admiring my hat tonight, so I decided to let her wear one.

Solid Food

Last night, Lily had her first taste of solid food. She didn't know what to think, but once we started making airplane noises, she opened her mouth and played with the rice cereal a bit.

Today Lily tried a little applesauce mixed with the rice cereal, but is still very unsure about what to with the food. Playing with in her chair seems to be her favorite at this point.

Trip to Florida

Lily, Sarah, and I just returned from a long weekend in Florida. We had a lot of fun taking Lily on her first plane flights. She enjoyed playing on the plane and looking out the window.

On Saturday, we visited with Robby, Rachel, and Ayla at their house. Thanks for lending us your pack-n-play for Lily to sleep in and toys for her to play with!!!!

"My new friend, Ayla"

After brunch with Robby, Rachel, and Ayla, it was off to visit with Granny and Poppy! Lily was very excited to meet her greatgrandparents for the first time.

"That's my Granny!"

"Hi Poppy"

While we were in Florida, Lily also got a chance to go swimming twice with Grandpa J. Lily loves the pool!

"Tootsies in the water"

Swimming with Mommy

To round out the weekend, Cousin Brandon, who lives in Florida, came to see us one night.


A special thanks for the weekend goes out to Grandpa J for all of his help and to Great-Grandma Gloria for letting us stay in her condo. Thank You! In case you didn't know, Great-Grandma Gloria's condo is now a three bedroom, as Lily slept in the walk in closet...

"What a cozy place to sleep"

I can roll over!

Lily has recently become proficient in rolling over. Here are some videos of her mad rolling skills.

5 Months Old!!

Lily turned 5 months old on Friday. It's hard to believe that she born 5 months ago! How fast time flies!

We were a little delayed in taking "formal" pictures for her birthday, so here are a few:
