Birthday fun and Raggedy Ann

Okay, so I think I have gotten the hang of this cheese, click, plug, load, fix, upload, blog! process. The key is that you actually HAVE to do it. Lilah is changing so much every day. It is amazing to see, especially looking back over pictures of the last year. I have pictures from my phone that I need to upload as well, but that is just one more step since I actually have to start up my mac.

Tonight Lilah took her first steps... she was actually pretty mad, because all she wanted was for me to hold her, and I kept putting her back to walk to me! That only worked once...

So, here are a few pictures of the Princess Lilah household:

Here is Lilah in her first hammock. The Daddy Hammock.

Looks like mom got ahold of the camera while I was away running a few errands. This picture is one of her favorites - she got it from her grandpa, my great grandpa Woody. My grandma Sue even remembers it as a kid.

Well, sun this time of year is a wonderful thing as well.

Lilah getting into the Miller Highlife box.

Lilah on her birthday. The present is from Great-Grandma Sue. I had no idea what it was until I got it out of the box (still wrapped) and then the lightbulb went off over my head! Lilah had just woken up, and Will got the day off. I think I was more excited than Lilah was.


She was so entertained with just the bows. I kept putting them on her head, and she would take them off and try putting them on my head or the dog's head.

Ahhh! Raggedy Ann! She really had a good time pointing out her eyes and nose, and playing with her red yarny hair.

Giving Raggedy Ann kisses! Awww!

Birthday Girl - she loves those bows, they are still in her Huggies "toy chest".

to catch you up...

So, another year is almost past and Lilah is almost one!!!
I am terrible about blogging because, really, I just don't have the time.

Here are a few pictures of Lilah that will catch you all up...

The first few are of her in her Hawaii outfits sent by friends who actually live there! It is Luau time inside, yet still very much winter on the outside. This cute little outfit was perfect because it was short enough for her to still be able to crawl around in.

She isn't really a dress girl, but man oh man did she know what to do with it. It never went up over her head like my over-the-head-dresses did, she just flung it around like she was doing a cute little dance.

I think this is my favorite. She liked it quite a bit, too. She was either blowing kisses or saying thank you... which has me singing Elvis Blue Hawaii... Thank you, thank you very much...

This one was super cute as well, but she REALLY didn't like it. I think the pants were a little too snug on her little legs. But, it is still way cute.

Ahhh, here is a normal picture. Will got ahold of the camera and caught both of them with funny faces!

I love this picture. Not only is a sleeping baby a beautiful thing, but that bear actually looks like he is cuddled up next to her, not the other way around!

This was mommy's attempt at rice at home... woah boy, big mistake. Next time I will use sticky rice, and not give her so much. Thank goodness for the dog. She had it all hoovered up before you could say DYSON! Where is her bib, you say? Well, it is on the floor where she put it. She really doesn't like bibs.

And, here is the last of the pictures. Taken on her first snowmachine ride, she was squeezed in between Will and I, plus, was bundled in a snow suit all warm and tidy. She didn't mind the ride at all, but, it wasn't really the highlight of her day, either. You can tell from her face... Hmmm, I think I have even seen Will make this face before. This is the hurry-up-and-take-the-picture-I-am-cold face.

So, that is it for now... until next time!
