SIX months = AWESOME!






Our little Lily is 6 months old! I cannot believe how fast the time has flown. Lily is constantly changing and discovering. I love it. She has been loving solid foods for about a month now. Sweet potatoes are her favorite but she has tried applesauce, peaches, pears, bananas, prunes, peas, green beans, squash, and carrots. She seems to love everything that she tries. She is such a good girl! She also loves her rice cereal and oatmeal. Lily has learned how to drink from a sippy cup and so far she has had water, apple juice, pear juice and white grape juice. She absolutely loves them all! Our little girl rolls from back to front and front to back....she is getting very mobile. Yesterday, she was starting to bring her knees up in the crawling position...I have to say it freaked me out a little!! haha. She has learned to sit up on her own, she still tips over from time to time but overall she does great. Lily is still such a chatterbox! she squeals and coos so loud! She absolutely loves the attention :) she gets that from her dad. I swear we have the happiest baby ever, it is very rare that she fusses or cries. when she does it is usually because she is hungry or tired. Lily will be starting swimming lessons in March ( at 7 mos) she will learn survival techniques like how to flip over and float on her back. I am very excited to start! We love our little angel so much! Lily you are the best!

6 month stats:

weight: 15 lbs 9 oz (50th percentile)
height: 26 1/2 inches (90th percentile)

absolutely perfect!!!

Dice, Dice, Dice man!!



Let me just start by saying I love my brand new nephew! I really do! It is so awesome being a FIRST TIME auntie. It is such a different feeling...I never thought it would be but I just love the kid so dang much I feel like I might burst! So thank you Josh and Sarah for making me an auntie and Brad an uncle. I am so excited that Lily has a cousin, I just know they are going to be the best of friends.

Well little Dice entered this world on January 31st. He was 6 lbs 13 oz and 18 1/2 inches. Sarah was such a trooper. She was in labor for a full 24 hours before the little guy finally came crying into this world...and cry he did! I had the opportunity to join the grandmas at the hospital all night and wait for him to be born. I cant even tell you the feeling when we FINALLY got to see him after waiting 8 hrs in the waiting room. I am so happy for Josh and Sarah. They have embarked on such a fantastic journey. Thank you to both of them for allowing me to be a part of their miracle. :)

First play date!



Well Lily officially had her first play date with her bff Kaytleigh! They had so much fun together. It was cute to see how Lily interacted with another baby. They did really well together. Kaytleigh is 9 mos and Lily is only six but they still had a lot of fun. Cant wait for the summer when they can go swimming together.
