The Major Giggles!

We got back late last night from Thanksgiving in Pittsburgh and will post pictures a little later today from our visit. For now, enjoy these two videos. The first is of Lily with the major giggles. We were playing in Grammy Cookie's living room and got the giggles.

This second video is Lily "shopping" in our basement. She has figured out how to use the shopping cart to walk around the basement.

Tickle Monster

Lily got attacked by the tickle monster! Enjoy the giggles...

I can stand up byself...

... as long as I don't realize I'm doing it. Then I get nervous because no one is helping me.

Walking

Lily has learned to walk a little if you hold her hands. She hasn't, yet, figured out that she needs to bend her knees, so her walking is this cute, stiff-legged movement.

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.
