catch up

I should be cleaning the house, being that I HAVEN'T for the last 2 weeks, but this seems more enjoyable...

We went to a Flying Squirrels game last weekend... Lily got a ride on the way! (love her profile!)

I just love crawling pics of the back of Lily for some reason (I realize how silly that sounds as I type it out- oh well!)

Lily is starting to take a couple steps to you if she's in "cruising position"

and every time she lets go, the mouth goes open THIS WIDE and a big HEH comes out, she thinks its hysterical.  She would just face plant if I wasn't there.  Her mind is willing but her flesh isn't there yet.

and she loves to sit down in your lap now- love it!

We had cupcakes with dinner one night when Daddy had something after work.  :)

Peter likes the cupcake, just not his pic being taken.

Peek-A-Boo

Where are Peter and Lily?!

There they are!!!

Lily is still loving her new book (& new PJs)....

Peter does this cute thing where he curls his hands in front of a book as he reads it :)

Peter thinks he should be able to pick Lily up!

Peter got some new overalls with a "whoo whoo" on them so we had overall day. :)  

Thanks Nee Nee!!

this one's for John

He's got more crack than Harlem!

sleepy head

I definately know that I have been spoiled by my kids good sleeping habits (they come by it honestly) and esp by Lily, sleeping thru the night at 5 weeks old.  Well, this morning Lily woke up at 7:30 (I wasn't home, was walking w/ Blair) so Mike got her up.  I came home at 8 and went up and nursed her.  She went back to sleep afterwards and slept until 11AM!! (I woke her b/c I was worried!)  Lately, its not unusual for her to sleep until 10AM!  I'm totally spoiled.... maybe a growth spurt?  I'll take it!

Happy Clothes

Gram and Pop treat their grandkids to a matching t-shirt or dress each summer with their name on it.  Our loves wore theirs to church this morning and oh, did they look so cute & match-y.  I love the colors!!

Cousin Visit

Liam and Becky were in town for visit this week.

Gram and Liam came for some fun late afternoon play time.

This pretty girl enjoyed time in the swing while the boys drove their cars.

Mike affectionately calls Lily's outer top teeth her 'fangs' & often tells her that he loves seeing them when she smiles!  She's getting her molars- her bottom left one is now peeping thru... This girl brings us much joy! 

Silliness!

Peter and Lily had a really silly day last week.  They had a ball together!  I hope this continues and they really enjoy each other!

Mike was coming home late one night so after dinner we had an early bath then went upstairs to play and read until bedtime... it was a lot of fun!

I've mentioned that Peter likes to "hold Lily"- obviously this doesn't work anymore.  Lily is now really into hugging him too.  These first pics are blurry but you can see she is enjoying it & into it as much as he is!

Then it was reading time!

Lily got a new book from Gram and Pop after their cruise called "Hello Lily!"  She really likes it.

Peter wanted to see the pics, then they switced books.

Lily loves to lift flaps!

precious hands!

Then DADDY CAME HOME!!!

My Lunch Date

Last Thursday Peter and I headed to the free Regal movie while Gram watched the Lily Bug.

We saw Curious George then headed to Chick-Fil-A.  I was thinking of just going thru the drive thru but Peter said "Lets eat inside, Mommy!"  So we did.

I just loved looking at him while we ate (and couldn't stop taking his picture!).

He's quite beautiful... I love his long bleached blonde summer hair (isn't it beautiful?!)

and his smile!

and those big brown eyes!!

Oh, he's so cute and I just loved getting quality time with just him

and getting to talk with him, that we can have little conversations now.

It was a HIGHLIGHT of my week!
