Lilly 12 months

I started this post almost a month ago and never got around to finishing...life this year so far has been...BUSY.  On Valentine's Day we celebrated Lilly's first birthday with a Winter ONEderland theme.  Lilly was also dedicated this day.  The gown she wore was the same gown Tyler wore for his baptism.  It was such a special day surrounded by family and friends.  Here are a few pictures from her special day.




A few decorations..the quality is terrible.









All of the family that came to town for the special day.

Daniel Tiger is a favorite, and books!


She wanted to blow the candle out after I took it away :)


Surprised the hat lasted as long as it did.


Sharing her cake, she's a sweetie!


She didn't make a huge mess!

Lilly 11 Months

Did I type that correctly, 11 months!?!?  Pretty sure I blinked and my infant turned into a toddler.  This month has been full of toddler personality.  ;)  Lilly has been working on cutting four wisdom teeth and it has made for a bit of a fussy baby at times and a lot less sleep for her.  She has started becoming more independent..I could cry!  This month she learned to say uh-oh, hot, all done, dog, and ball.  Lilly's favorite games to play this month have been pat-a-cake and peekaboo.   Lilly learned the meaning of "no" and "yes" this month, and will shake her head appropriately in respond to most questions.  She learned to drink from a straw, climb stairs, play ball (she's gotten pretty good at bouncing and rolling it back to me).  L is not yet walking, but she is cruising and climbing on everything.  She has begun memorizing her favorite books and "reading them with me".  She constantly amazes me with the milestones she is hitting.  When asked about future sports her response was as follow:

Me: Lilly are you going to be a dancer?
L: Shakes head no, and then yes..she isn't sure about this.
Me: Are you going to play soccer?
L: Shakes head yes.
M: Softball?
L: Yes.
M: Cheerleading?
L: No.
M: Piano?
L: Yes.

I can't wait to see which of these she decides to do as she grows.  We celebrated 11 months by having some homemade chili and buying a new fridge.  Now for photo overload.  We love you, Squirt.








 I'm done with this chair Mama, coming down.




Always making a mess for me to clean. :)



 The many faces of Lilly.



 Bye, Mama.

 She was over the photoshoot so she crawled to the living room to play ball.
