My little pumpkin

Lilly was a little pumpkin for halloween this year. She was so cute and she got a kick out of it as did I. I couldn't stop laughing because she is just so darn cute! On halloween we baked cookies (yummy mummy cookies and monster feet) and took them to daddy's work. They were all so tickled to see Lilly as always and were even more thrilled about the cookies... I am pretty sure as soon as we walked out the door the cookies were gone. 2 days before halloween Lilly and I met up with a friend and her daughter and we went to a halloween carnival at a local play place. They had so much fun. There were toys for kids of all ages which was nice since Lilly is still so little. She even got some professional pictures taken for free which turned out great. It was a great first halloween!!!

Cute as ever

The other morning this is what I found when I went to check on Lilly. She was in there playing with her dolly Lucy. Shewas just talking up a storm, It was pricless!

First plane ride

Lilly was great! She amazed everyone. She was happier than ever and loved the plane ride. We listened to my ipod for a few minutes and she thought it was the greatest thing, but for most of the ride the sounds of the cabin lulled her to sleep. All of the atendents and passengers were shocked that she was so well behaved and that they didn't hear a peep from her, but she is pretty laid back and we count our blessings for it. She was so curious though and looking everywhere taking in all of her new surroundings she loved it!

Mommy's little helper

Lilly is so wonderful! She has discovered she loves her highchair. When I am cooking dinner or doing the dishes she loves to be in her highchair in the kitchen helping me. I will sing and she will sing along with me. Although her toys are her main occupant she will talk to me and keep me company while i work till daddy gets home. Last night she was done helping me in the kitchen and she was starting to cry but then she heard the door unlock and saw her daddy walk in and she was all smiles. Such a daddy's girl.

Learning new things

Lilly is such a big girl! She is learning how to sit up. She still leans way forward but I am thinking its just a matter of a few weeks before she's got this sitting thing nailed. She is much more active with her toys now. She will reach out and help herself to whatever she pleases whether it be a piece of paper or your food or even just one of her toys. The other day I set some papers on her legs in her car seat not even thinking anything of it and by the time we got home they were all soggy and gross... but she was all smiles and so proud of herself. It was priceless.

Lilly and the great pumpkin

Lilly had a great time at the pumpkin patch yesterday. I must say I think it was a success. She was all smiles and so happy to spend the day with her daddy. We picked out a great pumpkin and despite the rain we all managed to stay fairly warm. Next year will be even better when she's walking.

Lilly's new wiggle

Lilly is such a great baby. She is constantly amazing me. On this particular day she was determined to not play on her boppy. I was lucky enough that she was so persistent I could catch it on video. She wanted so bad to just get going... uh oh... it means crawling is just around the corner.
