Going to the Pumpkin Patch

Lilly 7 months old

Loves to sit in front of the fridge playing with her magnets she got from cousin mumsie's b-day party.

My little old man baby. :)

Lilly is now 7 months old and I can't believe it. It feels like just yesterday that she was born, but E and I can't imagine life without our little ray of sunshine. :) The other day I went to the grocery store with Lilly and on the way home she was just in the back seat being as cute as can be just smiling and talking to herself. She is such a happy baby and I am so thankful that God gave this precious little girl to me. I am so blessed to have her in my life. Her smile could light up the world and it certainly lights up my world.

6 Months

Lilly is now 6 months old and getting so big, at least in comparison. :) She sits up on her own which has been a very convenient and she is eating fruits and vegetables on top of baby cereal, which she has been eating since 4 1/2 months. She likes most things I've given her and she is very good at opening her mouth nice and big. :) She hasn't started crawling yet, but I think it's just a matter of time now. Lilly may not smile for cameras very often, but she wins people over with her beautiful, willing smiles.

This was technically 5 1/2 months which was when she started sitting up on her own.

She was very sleepy.

I know she's my baby and all, but isn't she the cutest thing you've ever seen. :)

5 months

Lilly and her Opa


Cool, right! :) She actually keeps them on, because she hates the sun in her eyes.



Cousin Mumsie




She loves her swing at Omi's. I'm pretty sure she would be content to swing on it all day.





She even holds on for safety. :)

4 months

Lilly is getting so big. I've been really bad about blogging lately so technically she is almost 5 months, but these pictures are from when she was 4 months. At her 4 month appointment she weighed 10 lbs. 13oz and she was 24 1/2 in. long. She had gained a pound and grown an inch since her 2 month check-up. She is not crawling yet, but she can put her pacifier in her mouth when she wants to and she is talking and making more noise now. :)

I know I'm the wife and mom, but aren't they cute! :)

3 Month Pictures

Lilly is now 3 1/2 months old. She is getting so big and rolled over for the first time a couple days before her 3 month birthday. Eric is now working on crawling with her. He is a little over zealous. :) She is still spitting up, but it has slowed down quite a bit, which we are very thankful for. We have our hard days, but Lilly is such a joy and makes you smile with her willing smiles.


Lilly likes chewing on the dropper for the gas reliever. :)



She just started playing with her toys a week or two ago. And her favorite toy is a blue elephant that makes crinkly sounds when you touch it which is why I named it Mr. Crinkles. :) I know, very original.

This is the same day that Lilly first rolled over. June 10th.

Just waking up. :) She sleeps just like her daddy.

This was taken about a month ago when Lilly had her first eye infection. Which is why she has a compress on her eye, but it looks like an eye patch.

Little Lilly Bean

Lilly is 8 weeks and growing up way too fast already. She smiles willingly and if you talk or sing to her she'll babble back. :) She can't quite laugh yet, but she works hard at it so I'm sure it will be anytime now. She is a great sleeper which I am very thankful for since I only have to wake up once at night to feed her usually. Eric and I are having so much fun with her and can't imagine life without her. She definitely keeps us busy. :)

Lilly's first time in her Bumbo chair. She's still working on holding her head up, but Eric wanted to put her in it anyways just to test it out. :)

Look at that sweet little snoozer!

Tante, Uncle, and Cousin....

Eric and I left Lilly with her Omi while we went on our first date since we've had her. She did great and we had a good time spending time together even though we missed our little Lilly Bean. Thank God for grandma's, especially ones that live close (I didn't say really close, but we take what we can get. :)) and like to babysit their grandbabies! Afterwards we celebrated Tante Noley's birthday. Here are some pictures we took that day.
