Christmas 2008

Lilly had a great Christmas this year!  She received lots of toys which has caused us to have to clear out some of the old ones, a chore that has been necessary for awhile now.  She even helped open her presents.  We had a great time!!  Pictures are being uploaded soon!!

update

So we had our first snow.  She got all dressed up in her snowsuit and plopped into the snow.  It took about 3 minutes before she decided she didn't like the cold.  

She has finally started cutting her first molars.  The bottom ones are in and the top ones are really working their way in.  She really likes brushing her teeth at night after her bath.  As for her bath, she LOVES the water!!  

She is still not walking, but she has become part monkey.  She loves to climb on EVERYTHING!!  

We are getting ready for christmas and will post more when I can!

Lilly is now one!!

Lilly celebrated her first birthday on December 5th.  She had her birthday party on the following Saturday.  She really liked her birthday cake and loved getting all her presents.  Thank you to everyone who made her birthday special!!

Pumpkins!!

Today we went to Allen's Pumpkins and got our pumpkins for Halloween.  Lilly helped to pick out the best pumpkins on the lot!  When we got home she helped to clean them out and then carve them.  She was covered in pumpkin slime by the time all was said and done.

So you had a bad day...

Yesterday she was cruising around our coffee table and her foot slipped out from under her. As she was falling she hit her mouth on the table. She SCREAMED!! And while she was screaming I saw that she had a bloody mouth. I checked all of her teeth and they all seem intact and none are loose, that I can see. About two minutes later she was fine. She stopped screaming and bleeding and was playing.

Shortly after that she was eating a cracker (from a bag that she spilled all over the floor and proceeded to crawl on) and she started to choke. I got the cracker out her mouth and cleaned up the floor. Somehow she found a piece of cracker and started to choke on that as well. She is fine.

Then she was pulling herself up on her Yaya's walker and her foot slipped out from under her and she bonked her head again.

Yesterday was not this kid's day!!

gDiapers

We hav decided to go green(er)!! We are starting to use gDiapers, or at least checking them out. They are a really cool. After Lilly uses them the liners are flushed and can be used as compost. If we choose to throw them away, that's okay too because they decompose in 50-150 days!! They are kind of like a cloth diaper. The covers are cool and cute!! I have never been so excited about changing diapers!!

Update on the Sick Binks

Lilly is still running a fever and has horrible congestion. But she seems to be perking up a little bit. We are skipping swimming tonight because of the ears, but hopefully should be up an running in a couple of days. She is having trouble sleeping at night because of ear pain and her nose. She is also having trouble sucking from a bottle, but lucky for us she is drinking from a cup. I'll keep everyone updated!
