8 Months Today

You might be wondering where I've been for the last month (or maybe not), but I misplaced my camera and just found it again. So Lillie is 8 months old today. She's so happy and starting to really show her personality. Her main form of transportation is rolling and pivoting on her stomach. She is trying to get on her knees but she just face plants from there!

7 months!

Spring is here, the weather is warming and Lillie is 7 months! She is one of the happiest babies I've ever encountered. She's got her first teeth in on the bottom with more on the way.

So happy!

Sisters!

Spring Photo Shoot

We found a great local photographer to take some pictures of the girls. We had a great time and got some great photos. Here are some below.

Lillie Pie is 6 months old!

One half of a year has already flown by since I had Lillie. I can't believe it! Even though it was her 1/2 of a year birthday, she gave me the present of sleeping late (even though I didn't sleep that late since Mackenzie was up at her usual 7) and nice long naps (her usual nap lenghts are 45 min). She is getting so big! She can now sit up on her own for a couple of minutes and loves jumping in her jumparoo.
ETA: 6 month stats are 18 lbs, 8 oz and 27 inches long (both 90%).

Chubby cheeks!

How old am I again?

New Pictures and Videos

Here's a little bit of what we've been doing. Mackenzie goes to a gymnastics class every Monday. She loves it because she can jump and run around! I also had to take Lillie to the doctor for what I thought was an ear infection. Turns out it was just a cold and possibly a tooth coming in. She now weighs 18 lbs (gained 2.5 lbs in a month). The doctor was impressed! Here are some pictures and videos of the girls.

5 months old and growing!

Lillie is 5 months old! Wow, where does the time go! She has turned into a very content baby! We are counting down the days until Cole comes home and we can settle into a home of our own. Here are some pictures from today.

Happy baby!
Mackenzie wanted to play too!
Papa Mac is silly!

Lillie's new skills

Lillie is getting so big and is learning so much! She can now roll both ways, sit unassisted for about 5 secs, and grab her feet. She also has been eating some solid food and like I did for Mackenzie, I'm making her baby food, (awesome website for making baby food).

Lillie likes sweet potatoes!

All smiles!
You caught me!

Mackenzie the artist!

Mackenzie got an easel for Christmas and really enjoys painting! Here are some pictures of her creations!

Lillie Pie is 4 months old!

My little blue-eyed girl is 4 months old. I'm not sure how much she weighs, but we go in to the doctor in 2 days for a check-up. Here are some pictures from today! She's trying her hardest to role from her back to her belly (she's been rolling from her belly to her back since a little after two months). She also loves to stand and this is when I can get the biggest smiles!
Edit: Lillie now weighs 15 lbs, 10 oz and it 25.25 inchs long!

Snow, Snow, Snow ...

Yay for a white Christmas! Mackenzie absolutely loved the snow. She did not want to come in even though she was so cold! We broke out my Dad's sled from when he was a little boy! Fun times!

Christmas 2010

Christmas morning was fun this year because Mackenzie understood a little it more who Santa is and what he does! Aunt Lulu and Uncle Jay came and helped us celebrate. We missed Daddy though :(
