Thought I would let you in on our lives:
* Lily took 3 steps on Sunday during church. I swear she learns everything in church... this is where she learned how to wave bye bye, and clap her hands and my favorite... scream!!!
* Lily actually crawled all the way up the stairs all by herself (literally) yesterday. Ash was in the bathroom getting ready, and I was down stairs working on dinner and low and behold, Lily crawled all the way up the stairs. She was SOOO proud of her self. This morning we tried working on getting her to go down the stairs... but she thinks the only way to to do it is face first. I think we need to keep a better eye on her...
* Lily has figured out how to strengthen her vocal cords. She screams when she is happy, screams when she is sad, screams when she is hungry, screams when she is tired, screams when she is excited, screams when she wants something, screams when she lacks attention, screams when she has attention... she screams ALL THE TIME. Yes, our sweet little Lily has entered the screaming stage. Too much fun...
* Her favorite toy of all time is the cell phone. It is shocking to me that the baby toy makers can not make a toy that compares to Mom and Dads cell phone. She has a huge basket of toys downstairs and they could not bore her more. The remote and the cell phone are her toys of choice. And she always says Da Da into the phone... her only word she knows.
* The other morning she got up a little early, and we were too tired to take her downstairs so we decided to let her roll around in our bed. It was during those hours that she FINALLY learned how to give kisses... she took turns giving them to each of us. During these moments, we forget how much she loves to scream.
* It has been so cute to see Lily light up when she is around my Dad. Many of you know that he is in hospice and has a hospital bed at my parents home. Whenever she sees him she wants to crawl right in bed with him and cuddle up to his face. It is so cute. She is going to miss her papa when he is gone.

Jon, fun things that Lily is doing! Isn't it so much fun to see them develop and learn!
My favorite though is how happy she gets when she sees papa. She will miss him. But he'll be with her ALWAYS!
We love you all so much!
Yay, I LOVE the screaming stage! So much fun for you guys! Let's hope yours doesn't last 7-8 months like ours!! Lily is adorable. They change so much...I love to watch them grow and explore!!
Jon she's way too cute. The screaming is adorable. I'm glad that she is able to sense and acknowledge how incredible your Dad is... that speaks volumes when a small child reacts through facial expressions and body language when they are aware, even though unable to speak, that they are in the presence of a great, loving, Christ-like individual. How incredible to experience that! You need to capture that, take a picture of her around your Dad!
This post brought back a flood of memories. It took Parker about 4 months of crawling up the stairs to finally got down safely on his own!
When the screaming stage started is when I worked on learning "more" in sign language because the screaming hit an all time high whenever food was invovled and I couldn't keep it coming fast enough.
So fun! But you are supposed to have a pic. with this post, you know!?
that's the darn cutest thing ever to read about lily. i don't even think i've met your baby yet, but she looks like a doll! much love to you and your family!
How adorable can she possibly get?! I love the screaming stage! Believe me - it unnerves you now,but just wait until she is 3 and throwing a tantrum in some public place...:) Love you guys!
