Fixin' the swing

Lilly is planning to ask Santa for a creeper for Christmas...she hates laying on the ground to work on her swing.

That's just how she rolls.

She's a pro now. Sitting up is no sweat for Lilly now...she can even do other adorable things while sitting up without falling over.

Peanut is trying to crawl. Bryan can't wait...I'm content with just sitting up. At least if she is sitting up she is sitting still. When she is crawling all hell will break loose and I won't have a moment's rest.

The elusive game of peek-a-boo, rarely caught on tape.

Gymboree

Lilly and I started Gymboree today. Gymboree is just a fun little play and music class for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. There are toys and games that are developmentally appropriate for each age group, songs, and just some really cool sensory objects, like bubbles and a parachuet. Lilly is in the six to ten month class, most of the kids are learning to crawl or crawling. She really seemed to like it, especially "baby soccer". A small beach ball is rolled into the center of the ring and all the Mamas hold their babies under their arms and use the baby's feet to "kick" the beach ball around the circle. Lilly watched the ball intently and waited for it to be her turn to "kick" it. When it was she smiled really big and laughed out loud. So five stars for Gymboree today, but no stars for my lack of pictures...sorry.

Playing on the floor

Kind of a boring night, just sitting (that's right sitting) on the living room floor and playing. But, its far from boring for Miss Lilly. She is sitting up really well now and getting more involved with the world around her. She is more interested in her toys now more than ever and can even play by herself for a little while without being entertained. She also interacts with us a little more each day. Hopefully soon I'll be able to capture on film and post some pictures of Lilly and the Daddy Guy's nightly game of "peek-a-boo". Its hilarious and really cute, but more on that later.

Walking in the woods

We went to my parents house on Sunday to take advantage of the nice weather and let Hank stretch his legs. Lilly really seemed to enjoy walking in the woods too. She just looks around, taking it all in. And of course, she loves to ride on the Daddy Guy!

Children's Museum

A little out of order, but that's o.k... This picture is from Friday. Lilly, Avery, Tania(Avery's mom) and I spent the morning at the Children's Museum. The girls seemed to have a good time. There was a specific area geared especially for little ones under age two and we spent the entire time in there. This picture that Tania took was just too cute to not post for everyone to see! Lilly is riding a foam cow.

Avery's 1st Birthday

Lilly was invited to her friend Avery's 1st birthday party at Carter's Toy Museum on Saturday. She had a great time, riding rides and tasting her first cake frosting. Although, she seemed to enjoy the rides better before we put the quarter in.
