Halloween & Much More Fun!

Hey Sweet Lily Bug!!! I have not updated in awhile as I have been very busy with you, house, work, etc. Halloween was so much fun! It was your first. The weather was kinda of yucky but we got out when it was not so bad. The day before Halloween you went with your friend ansley to trunk or treat and yall got to ride around in your wagon for awhile. It was damp and muggy/cold if that makes sense. Halloween we went to Aunt Mandys house and we ate some good food and then dad and I strolled you around the street with all the other tirck-o-treaters.. It is something I will always remember it being your first.

Your two canine(cuspids) finally broke the skin and are now coming through. Your left one broke on the 20th of October and the right broke the next day. It was not bad this time around with your teeth.. Thank Goodness. I do not knwo if I wrote about your well check-up but it went great. You are 25% in pretty much everything except for your head. Dr. Dixon said you could pretty much eat anything. Which is great. Anyway I am off back to work. I will write you later this week. Love you sweet girl.

Love mommy

Update: Pumpkin Patch, Carving and Mall trips...

Hey Sweet girl!!! You are snug as a bug in a rug on this Monday cold morning. Mommy is working away as usual but took a little time to write you. There has been so much going on and you have done so many new things since I wrote you last. We all went to the Pumpkin Patch which some friends recommended. It was lots of fun and you loved all of the pumpkins. We came home & the next day we carved. You stuck your hands way down in the pumpkin feeling all the gooey stuff. You were way too cute. You have started to stand on your own as well as push the laundry baskets around the house as a form of a walker. Its so cute to watch you get mad when you run into the wall and you cannot go any further. We went to the mall yesterday and went into the Disney store. You saw the little stuffed animals of "Daisey & Donald" and of course we got them for you.. You also got some clothes from the childrens place. I got your figureines for your Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake. I have been looking at this website for your decorations, plates, and cups, etc since Im a big planner for things like that. Here is some pictures of you at the pumpkin patch, standing up by yourself, carving, the mall, and radio flyer rides... We love you soooooo much..

Lately!!!!

Hello baby girl... okay so I have been super busy to write you but I am settled on this Sunday night while you are snug as a bug in a rug.. Okay so I already have your cake planned for you 1st birthday. Its a two tier Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake which publix is doing. I found a picture off of the web and took it to Penny which she is the person who makes all mommys cakes when I throw showers for friends and she is going to to it.. YEA... You also got a radio flyer which you just love. We need to get one of your friends cause its a two seater and let them ride with you!! Daddy and I took you on a stroll tonight and you just talked talked talked...
Here are some new things that you can do.

• You can stand alone for about 30-45 sec before you hold back onto something.
• You point at things that you want or when we say the word like "light" you point to the nearest light that there is( you are soo smart)
• You ate spaghetti for the first time the other day and you loved it. There was really not any sauce because I did not want it to mess your tummy up.
• You got to see sine chirstmas decorations at Home depot and you just laughed laughed laughed.
• Whne daddy or I scream like to get you to, you turn around & let out this huge scream. We did it at Taco Mac the other night and it was too funny.
• You love balloons... I got you a Halloween one the other day.
• We got you a play toy that you can sit and play with it or you can walk with it and you walked with it.. I have to hold the front because it does not have brakes and I am afraid you will go flying down the hall or the kitchen floor.
• You know who "happy" is which is one of our 4 dogs and its always because he plays with you<<<>

I could go on and on but these are just some of the things you have been doing here at the house.
Anyway. I love you very very much and I cannot wait till Halloween.. Its going to be spooktacular fun..
Love you baby girl so much
Mommy--> PS daddy would say hello but he is playing video games.. nahh he said he loves you too. night night sweet angel.

Play Lunch With Mommy & Friends

Hey Lily Bug..

Okay so yesterday we went and met Natalie & her babies: Tony, Gabby, and Dominique(ughh I probably spelled that so wrong) Nicole and her little girl Ansley and Megan with her little angels: Sydney and Kaitley. We met at chic-fila where you had your first inside of a chicken Nugget. Oh how you loved it. My chart that Dr. Dixon gave us says you can eat shredded chicken at 8months so I went ahead and let you try it. You had so much fun. You loved Tony, I told Nat that yall could get married.. he is a little heart breaker.. Anyway Nicole took out this bottle and it said PUFFS on it. Well I have never let you try them and she was giving Ansley some which she is about 6 months.. So we bought some last night and you love them too. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you and how you are growing and the things that you are doing.

Anyway, we are going to start making a play date once a month with mommys friends. I think we are going to Megans house next. Here are some pictures with you and your friends and some around the office as you love to tear up my office. We love you baby girl.

mommy & daddy.

Watching Mickey & Panera Dates

Good morning Baby girl... Okay so I am sitting at my desk watchin you watch mickey mouse club house screaming at it because you love it so much, esp the "hot dog" dance.. Lately you have been doing so well during the day. Barely any crying and getting fussy.. only when you are super duper tired. We have been going to Panera for Breakfast lately with Granma and daddy and you always sit in your high chair and eat your choc chip muffin w/o the choc chips of course and a glass of water. You love it so much. There has been another little boy that has caught your eye two of the times that we have been there but as I told you he is too old... Tomw we are supposed to go with Shala which is a friend through a friend who is going to take some professional pics of you if the rain holds off. I have seen her pics online and she does a great job.. She has a little baby girl who is younger than you named "ella" You are growing up so fast every day & it makes mommy & daddy sad some days.. You are just a babbler.. You babble mamamam & dadada and nanananana... (it almost sounds like you are saying "nigh nigh" which is your blanket that you carry around everywhere or want when your tired or sad) Anyway we are trying to get some play dates with some of mommys friends. I ran into a girl named casey who mommy grew up with when she was really young. She has a little girl "sadie" who is about 2 oe 3 weeks younger than you so we are going to try to have lunch together. . Anyway, you are stiing on my lao now playing with the home phone and the mouse.. Love you lily bug..

Update!!!!

Here were are baby girl & you are seven months old.. Gosh does the time fly. It seems like yesterday when we brought you home. You have filled our lives with so much joy its hard to imagine what our lives would be like without you in it and its impossible. To give you an update on how you are doing you are starting to pick up your feet and walk. It's really too cute . Daddy and I hold your arms and you just pick them up and walk forward(its like high knees) Anyway, you are growing so much everyday and I am so grateful to be apart of that. I dont know what I would do if I was not able to work from home and be with you everyday and get to go have breakfast with Granma and go on car rides together. You are the Joy in my life as well as your daddy. Speaking of daddy will be home in about 2 hours.. I will be exicted that it is the weekend.
Today we went and had breakfast with Granma at Panera. You had some muffin and water.. Okay I gave you a little bit of tea... Im sorry. Then we went to Walmart and got you some baby food and some more long sleeve and pant nighties... You slept in one last night for the first time since you were little (well your still little but really small) and you looked at the sleeves like (hmmm what do I do with these) so then of course you started to eat your sleeve.. Anyways, we came home and I have been working and I am exhausted. Just wanted to give you a quick update. I will have to put some more pictures up here soon.
Love you Baby girl
Mommy and Daddy

Well Check Up

So you saw Dr. Dixon today!! It was just you and me due to daddy being at school and granma and everyone else was in Bristol for the race. We got up around 8 this morning ate your bottle and then I took a shower & got ready and then I gave you a bath. Dr. Dixon says you look great. I was a little concerned with they weighed you and you were 15.1 which is 25%

They said you were fine though... I told them you eat pretty much anything.. you get 30oz a day if not more of formula... you get 1/4-1/2 cup of either cereal or stage 2 foods and maybe 3 oz of juice. You eat mashed potatoes or green beans when we cook them. He said he would rather you weigh this then be off the charts... He is impressed that you can stand and hold yourself up for the amount of time you can... HE SAID YOU MAY BE BOW LEGGED... OH NO.. No, he said it would go away eventually. You are 50% in height and you still have the big ol head... lol... You got your flu shot for the first time and you really did not do that bad with crying. Minnie came and so we put a band-aid on her too...You love the paper on the tables which I just think is tooo funny.. Here are a few pictures of you at the doctors office playing with the paper.. We love you baby girl...

love mommy
