When she's quiet...

...It's a sign she's up to no good.

Lilly Houdini

We spend our time trying to contain Lilly.

She spends her time trying to escape.

Here, she's discovered the space between the recliner and the table is Lilly sized.

Oh, hello.

So, how's things? *looking innocent*

When the table was sealed off, she climbed over James' armchair.

Contemplating the drop.

A smile before taking the plunge.

Snapshots

Sibling love.

So sleeeeeppppyyyyy....

Black Lilly is in town, look out.

Escape!

Lilly, demonstrating her escape from the car seat.

Hey mom!

Off to greener pastures.

Grrrrrr

My baby growls. Does yours?

Holiday Memories

While it's harder to get a 4 month old active in the holiday preparations, we still take her along for the fun!

Picking out a tree. Mom does all the work, she's just along for the ride.

The lit up tree. She and Dad supervised while Mom and James strung lights.

Is that comfortable?

Lilly sleeping in the swing. Bent nearly double backwards.

I move her and she does this again. It kind of freaks me out.

Grandma's Little Pumpkin

Trying to take a shot of an uncooperative baby. She was channeling her inner Exorcist.

Yeah, this isn't happening, Mom.

After a feeding, her attitude readjusted itself.

Ok, maybe I'll consider this.

One smile, that's all you get - make it happen.

Lilly Video

Babies don't do many exciting things - Lilly really isn't an exception. She eats, sleeps, toots and spits up. I'll spare you all of that. Here's some awake and not crying time :)

Gummy Grins

The first of many milestones. Lilly has started smiling.

It's the gummy grins that make the sleepless nights worth it.

Isn't she adorable??

Miss Lillypad

Some awake (and not screaming) time.

Her hair really isn't this red in person. It's the camera, for some reason.

The Zoo

Lilly went to the zoo with us over Labor Day weekend. The only thing she saw was the inside of the Moby Wrap as she napped the afternoon away.

The new arrival

On August 16th, Lillian Grace became part of our family.
