Dinner with Ryan

Here are 2 cute pictures of Lily and Ryan at dinner together.

"Lily, do you think your mom is going to eat the cheese off her burger?

"She's not?! Aw snap! That means we get it!!"

The Step

As many of you know, we have a step between our living room and dining room. A couple of days ago, Lily decided that while she was playing with me in the living room she wanted her Mommy who was in the kitchen. So off she set and for the first time figured out how to climb the step. Now it has become a relatively routine activity for her. Tonight, I was able to capture her step climbing in all its glory. Make sure you notice how she half stands up in order to get over the step. So cute!

The T-Shirt Doesn't Lie

It was quite warm here yesterday, and Lily got a chance to wear one of her new short sleeve shirts. What do you think? Does the shirt make you smile?

As you know from our previous post, Lily is crawling. Because we have a step between our living room and dining room, she has been contained, thus far, in the living room. This is great for Sarah and me, as we don't have to worry about her wandering away. Last night, she made one of her first attempts at climbing the stair. She is so cute trying to figure out how to get her knees up and over the step.


She hasn't figured it out quite yet, but I'm sure she is going to any day now! That is both exciting and scary.

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?"
