Florida

It's been more month since we SUCCESSFULLY made our journey to Florida for Papa's 90th birthday. Lily's first airplane ride, first time meeting Scott's family and we got another tooth too! Here are some of the highlights:

Here we are getting ready for the longer plane ride to Jacksonville

And cousin Noah
Lily cut her second tooth while we were in florida. She was a little cranky that day, but it didn't stop her from looking super cute in her summer gear! We had to get out and take in the sunshine!




She did really well on the car trip to Orlando. Here she is napping
Lily thought the hotel bed was the coolest thing ever. It was her favorite place to practice rolling over skills.









Lily met her Grand Nana & Papa. We were in Florida to celebrate Papa's 90th birthday!

Lily loved her great grand parents and thought they were so much fun!

JoAnn arranged for us to get our picture taken in Jacksonville.

Here we are on our way. I thought this was pretty cute.

One Pearly White

As Scott was making dinner this evening I gave Lily a spatula to gnaw and thought I saw something .... a TOOTH! Her first tooth is here. It is her right bottom one. We thought she was going to be getting them soon and here it is! Ear infection and a tooth just might not be the myth everyone thinks it is, at least not for Lily! Here are a few pictures from today!

6 Month Stats

We had the 6mon check up today! Besides getting over her first ear infection, she is doing really good! I see 2 bumps on her bottom gum, so I think she is getting ready to push those first 2 teeth out. They say it isn't true that ear infections precede the first teeth, but if she gets them in the next week or two, I might lean towards the ear infections and teeth correlation.

Anyway, she is 27.25" long (92%) and 15 lbs, 7oz (35%). She just keeps trucking along on all of the same chart lines and Dr. says she is going great!

6 MONTHS!

Today Lily is 6 months old and as her daycare puts it, she is a little spitfire or firecracker! 

Very much her own person & just a ball of energy, but she also is an observer. She will watch you very closely, not saying much and then when she is by herself or just me & Scott she chats up a storm. Lily also is rolling over both ways with out much effort. She reaches for toys, tries really hard to get them by rolling one way or the other, the starts crying in frustration that they are out of reach. She sits up all by herself for 10 min or more, but that usually depends on how excited/tired she is. She loves jumping in her excersaucer & banging away or trying to chew through toys. Lillian is an accomplished eater and has breezed through all of her #1 foods and has been dabbling in #2's. It seems like sweet potatoes, corn & squash mix, bananas and applesauce are her faves, but really will eat anything. She might have mom's sweet tooth. 

Here are some random photos from this month:

Jan 1st Go Gators!

Sugar Bowl under way and Lily was showing her support!

GO GATORS! Personally it think red & white are her colors, even if they are not as good of a team... 

She is such a tall skinny girl that the ruffle butt was a bit droopy and the shirt just fit! 

Dec 25th Lily's First Christmas!

Here are some highlights of her first christmas. We went to Great Grandma & Grandpa's on the 24th, but I was too busy to get any photos from that so if you have any, please email them to me. I know there have go to be some good ones of her & Kalia in the rocking chair! And now on with the show! 

Lillian waiting for Tori & Eric with her attractive antlers!  

Now Frank & Lily are being tortured in costume. I think Lily is wondering why Frank got the costume with bells. 

Lily in front of the loot.
The unwrapping begins. Mostly mom did the work and she got bored!
Nice bow!


Are we still unwrapping stuff? 


Jammies from Nana!

Her first of many Mickey Mouse shirts!
Aunt Karen made her a Gator towel set! 

 After all the action is done. Notice the ridiculous loot pile behind her! 

And after all those new toys, she still wanted her seahorse rattle. Which she is no longer allowed to play with because she gets mad at it and yells. It's pretty funny!
