Lilly's Feeds Herself!

Last night we let Lilly feed herself for the first time. She enjoyed spaghetti with sauce. I'll let the pictures and video tell the rest.

Words!!

Lilly is now saying "da-da" "mama" "Doggy (or ge)" "Fish (drop the f)" "books" and some random babbling.  She can also look at a picture of a dog and will say "ge" and she can point out the doggy in a book.  My kid is obsessed with doggies!!  She likes to clap and is starting to wave.  She is also starting to scoot around in the standing position while holding on to furniture.  I am not ready for this!!

Save the date!!

I know this is almost 3 months away, but I didn't want anyone to miss out.  Lilly is turning one on December 5th.  We are going have a birthday party on December 6th.  I don't know what time yet, but it will most likely be in the afternoon.

9 month Update

Yeah!  We finally have a blog that we can share with everyone!!  So welcome to Lilly's update page.  I promise that I will do my best to keep this as up-to-date as possible.  

So, Lilly (Binks) turned 9 months old on September 5th.  We took her in for her 9 month checkup and she is offically 16 pounds 13 ounces.  She is 27.75 inches long.  She has 8 teeth!  She is a speed demon when it come to crawling and loves to chase the dogs all over the house.  

We just back from a week vacation.  We spent the week at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio in Phoenix.  (Sorry we didn't call anyone but we were escaping.) Lilly went swimming and had a blast!!  She even fell asleep in the pool.  After coming home we decided that it was time for someone to start sleeping in their own bed.  So after a heartbreaking decision we have reverted to the "cry it out" method.  I hate it.  But it seems to be working.  

I plan on posting some older blogs from my myspace page on here so everone can catch up if they want.
