The 4th of July Weekend

Lily has had a very busy 4th of July so far. On Friday, we went to Kathy and Bill Cooper's swimming pool. Lily had a great time playing with Grandpa Steve.

"When can we go swimming Grandpa?"

"Daddy got me with the kissing monster"

During lunch, Lily demonstrated the proper way to clap your feet together. She asked that we share the video so that you can enjoy foot clapping as much as she does.

On Saturday, Lily had a surprise visitor....

UNCLE DAVE!!!

"Hi Uncle Dave!"

"Thanks for the ball with all the taggies, Uncle Dave!"

"I love hugging Grandma"

Now that she can sit up on her own, Lily has been driving her "car". The best feature of the car, is the sideview mirror, which seems to taste particularly yummy.

"How do I see cars behind me with such a tasty mirror?"

Who's Got the Giggles?

Tonight at dinner, Sarah flipped her hair and Lily started giggling, so Sarah kept flipping her hair. Here is some of the funniest (and cutest) giggling I have ever seen.

Lily's New "Toy"

Yesterday, Lily played with a new "toy" that Sarah picked up on her way home. It kept her very entertained while Sarah made dinner.

Unfortunately for Lily, the "toy" was consumed with dinner. I guess she will just have to wait for another bag of chips.

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.
