Seriously Mom, this was the best you could do on the sun-screen? Everybody's gonna make fun of me!
Splish Splash!
One more thing in common: they both love the hose!
Let's do this everyday!
Precious girl always studying the world around her.
We've been busy this week - sorry I havn't been better about pictures. She is wearing me out moving everywhere all the time. I know most of you are laughing at me because I don't even know what life will be like in a few more months, let alone a few more years.
She's doing so much now and Brad and I are in amazement of her more and more everyday.
The bottome pics are from playgroup yesterday which was great. It's the same four babies we've been with before, all born within a month of eachother. Putt was born a couple of months later and joined us for the first time yesterday. We had a wonderful time.
Who does she look like here? Maybe Brad when I tell him we're out of beer. It's the only good picture of her two little toofers though. sooo cute. Our Doc thinks she should be getting the top two soon. She'll be ready for steak before long.
Play group yesterday - so fun! Left to right: Mary Bibb, Putt, Sam, Sarah Laine, & Lillianna
Mary Bibb: You want me to sit here for how long Mom?
Lillianna: Just smile and clap, Mary Bibb, and maybe we'll get out of here.
Forget it, I'm making a run for it
Am I next? This is not funny Mom.
I'm am so funny Mom and so are you for trying to get that medicine down my throat
The milk mustache is actually an ice cream/ antibiotic mustache. Still cute.
Lillianna and Boone both eating grass. Only one of them got to swallow it, I promise.
Oh how far our pets have come. They really do deserve awards for becoming patient with Lillianna's very persistent attacks on their fur and body parts. How funny that Lillianna's hand is practically buried in Attie here. That's how hard she pushes on them but she pulls even harder. I know she and Boone will be good friends but I don't think the cats will ever forgive her for this stage.
Can we PLEASE stay out here all day?
p.s. the albert einstein hairdo is courtesy of Boone's tongue.
This is the naked little one lastnight standing up. It was a big day yesterday with some longer stretches of real crawling, repeated clapping on command, and a few waves with her hand!!! She loves to stand and hold on to things as demonstrated here. I'm sure today it will be something new like her first toe-touch!
Swimming with no water...looks like she's getting her kicking down.
Peek a boo! She is laughing so hard here! Brad kept putting the pillow over her and she'd push it off and just giggle til she got the hiccups.
First (and maybe LAST) time we tried "biter bisquits" It was EVERYWHERE!! She was entertained though and we were entertained with her new look.
Look at her foot sitting on top like she's so cool.
No, she didn't pull up on the crib...although she's working on it. But once I helped her get there she did stand for atleast 2 mintues proud as she could be. I can't believe she's getting so big!! She is so big that she got to stay a night away from her parents this past weekend. She had a great time with her Aunt Lesley and grandmother Su-Su! 
"Lillianna that is the funniest joke I've heard all day. Tell it again."
"Mary Bibb, that is my foot. Your foot is over there." 
"Lillianna, I think I figured it out!"
"Mary Bibb, I think I found your arm."
"What? We were being good..we promise."
This morning, after practicing pulling up on my hands about 99 times, Lillianna was ready to sit and play. She hadn't seen these toys in a couple of days and boy she was excited to see them!
"Where is that one block with the purple top and the round thingy inside?"
"Eureka! I found it!"
(Actually, in this picture I flipped the camera screen around so that she could see herself in it. So she's smiling at herself that big!)
Yesterday was another scorcher but we made the most of it by going to the park with friends. The swings were a hit once again. I think Lillianna looks like a trapeze artist or Tinkerbell.
This is precious Lydia, who is 2 years and a few months. She also loves to swing!
She's smiling behind that darn pacifier. What a cute picture though...so happy.
Now I just have to share these pictures beacuse they are so darn cute! She is loving the pool...her pool that is. Our sweet friend Meredith gave us this pool since her daughter Lydia has a bigger one this year. Lillianna loves it! She is very happy to just play and splash.
I assume means her sleeping has been affected. Second, she spends most of her day gathering food, feeding them, or making sure they don't hurt themselves. Third, she has to chew the food she brings the babies into bits they can handle. The first two I've been experiencing for 8 months now but just the past two weeks I too am chewing, nibbling, breaking, or pinching bite size pieces of bread, crackers, peaches, oranges, bananas, beans, or anything yummy for Lillianna to eat. this next picture is of one of the baby birds after the Mama left...obviously still hungry.
That's the same face Lillianna gives me when I get up to find something else in the fridge to feed her.
It's like bathtime except I'm sitting on a diaper that weighs as much as I do!
Today was a pretty uneventful except that it was 90 degrees with no breeze and no fun to sit outside. So this afternoon we jumped on the invitation from our friends, Meredith & Lydia, to join them in the baby pool. The little girls did all the swimming but I felt cooler just watching them. It was officially Lillianna's first time in a pool and also the first in a bathing suit...I wish my bathing suits still looked that cute on me! She really had a ball and didn't seem to mind that her diaper was so full of water it was hanging out of her suit. How fun that we have a whole summer ahead of fun days in the pool!! yea!
