The Many Smiling Faces of Lillian

I will have my mother note that in each of these photos, Lilly has a different hairstyle!! Yes, I do not ALWAYS put it in a ponytail....just most of the time :) I even braided her hair the other day which was really cute but did not last long. Lillian is cruising and starting to not use her hands to hold onto things while standing. I think walking is a ways away still - thank goodness! She LOVES to play in the apple drawer of the fridge and enjoys when Grandmother Ann goes to school to read her books. She has her front teeth and I think some others are popping through as well - at least that is what I am hoping is waking her up at 4:50am!
Lillian is talking a lot and is a Daddy's girl. Whenever she hears Gordon's voice or sees him, she gets very excited. He is gone this week but sends us videos and she gets excited when she hears his voice on the phone. She loves bath time. I am not surprised as Gabby loved this time as well but it is a lot harder with 2 kids! Gabby insists on taking a bath with Lilly which Lilly actually prefers as well. They sit in the bath together and play and play. Lilly has decided that she enjoys laying on her back in the bathtub - which would be fine if I was in it to hold her but while I usually sit outside the tub, it makes it challenging to keep her upright. She also drinks more bath water than I'd prefer....Her favorite book is Brown Bear and is learning to turn pages. She likes to bang things and dance to music - I think she is a loud one!

Lilly is a good eater. She has long since been on table food and prefers feeding herself. Her favorite food is baked beans, peas and grapes. She also enjoys cheese, mac & cheese and a soft piece of toast. She really enjoys making a mess and is learning how to drop her food on the floor :) It's hard to believe that in a month she will be 1!! Where has the time gone?
