so many ways to make me smile

Lily is now fully up and walking- she believes it is faster than crawling and I am beginning to agree. She will now walk from room to room without a second thought of needing a prop to guide her. This means she can now get into something much quicker than we are used to and our eyes are glued to the little monkey at every moment {most of the time}.

10 things I have realized about her lately:

1. she thinks the vacuum cleaner is almost as fun as the dog
2. she would rather play with the smallest piece of garbage on the ground than with her baskets filled with toys
3. to her, toys do not belong in baskets, every last one of them should be taken out and spread around the room
4. she can always make me smile no matter how mad or upset I am...even after finding out a rock was thrown through the back windshield of our car :(
5. she loves piggy back rides- a sure way to cause a giggle fit
6.  shoes are just toys attached to her feet
7. she definitely has her favorite "blankie" but will carry any blanket around everywhere with her if she finds one
8. she eats food much better if she can pick it up off of her tray rather than eat it with a spoon
9. the living room table has become her track- she runs around it in circles over and over
10. her giggle is the best sound in the world

a little peak into the last few weeks:


we LOVE our baby legs.... every baby should have a few pairs!


she looks pretty annoyed that I want her to eat so many healthy things at once.....

I rarely get to sneak into a picture... and still its only our backsides :)


Nana and Papa came to visit! Lil loved listening to Nana read!

She got to go walking outside for the first time... 
a whole different ball park on the uneven ground!

The first dirt on her teeny tiny shoes :) 
L.O.V.E.

Fall already!

Time is flying by so fast I can't even keep track! I completely missed taking Lily's 8 month photo, so I suppose there will have to be a blank spot in the photo album for the month of September. Fall is in full bloom and October is well on its way! Unfortunately the  nice brisk fall weather is typically accompanied by rain, so we haven't been outside quite as much as we've been used to. Its always a little harder for me to have the urge to take pictures inside- but its a perfect time to get used to it before the Holidays when every photo will most likely be inside! Heres a few of our last couple of weeks

Her head of hair is filling in quite nicely... hopefully it will be long enough for clips and bows just in time  for the Holidays! 

 Different angles are necessary- she now comes straight for the camera when we're on the ground.

Such a big kid! She has started wearing shoes, which to her are just toys attached to her feet...

Sleeping Beauty takes up more of her bed as the days go by

Loves her toys; which are now taking over our tiny apartment!

Walking toy to get her used to putting one foot in front of the other- although she enjoys it from the wrong direction... whatever keeps her entertained works for me!
