Cute Photo Opp

All at once: a collective "ahh. she's so cute!" I can't believe how fast she's growing up and how independent she already wants to be.

Lilly's favorite spot

is under the buffet in the breakfast room. I'm not sure how much longer she will fit under there comfortably, but I think I may start taking more buffet photos.

Baby needs a pair of shoes!

So we got her some! And I thought, "How cute! What baby girl wouldn't want a pair of pink tennis shoes?"














We put them on her and she showed a little curiosity.














and some concern...














which led to tears.....














and then this!? Really Lilly? Are they that bad? So we tried putting them on her again today and she still is not a fan of shoes! Not sure how she plans to play in the snow.

Lilly's Christmas Card

Lilly received a Christmas card from her Great Aunt Patty that plays a little song by Alvin and the Chipmunks. She loves it! She walks around with it, letting it play along. Ernie and I were in the kitchen when we noticed her missing. And she was quiet... Here's where we found her.

Lilly's One Year Photo Session

Merry Christmas! We had Lilly's photos taken recently for her first birthday and Christmas. Enjoy!

No Peeking!

OK so I admit it - I opened all my presents early. I still do it and I still re-wrap them and act surprised. I just can't help myself. And I'm not upset that Lilly did this at such a young age. I am appalled though at her lack of creativity and how brazen she is with such an act!














OK - what is it?














a scarf and a hat from Ms. Bonnie! Very nice of her.














What? not what you expected? I guess you'll have to open another one.

Feeding Woes

Lilly's Aunt Kelly got her some dishes for her birthday and I thought it was a great idea. See? A plate with bananas, pumpkin bread and some carrots. I know she doesn't really know what to do with spoon or fork, but really expected her to appreciate the plate and eat it all eagerly.

Do you see the plate?

Lesson learned! And check out the floor! Thank goodness for Goose! Unfortunately, Goose just went to the vet for his check up and shots. Looks like Goose has gained 5 pounds. We are pretty sure it is because Lilly keeps feeding him.
