Miss September 2006

Well Miss Lillie is now seven months! I can't believe it she is getting so big. She still is not crawling. She will get up on all fours and rock and rock then just get on her belly and do the army crawl. I am kind of glad that she has not started yet because I can already tell she is a little busy body and just can't wait to tear up the house!!! She has learned how to wave though and she waves at you when you come in the room. The other day she was playing with a little Winnie the Pooh doll and when I walked in the room she was waving away at him and laughing. It was too cute! She is also very vocal and loves to hear herself making noises. Both of Evan's speech therapist have commented on just how vocal she is. I weighed her on our scale at home and she is still in the 19-20 lb range, she has finally slowed down on the weight gain.

Lillie's Easter Bonnet

My Mom was just determined to find Lillie a bonnet to wear for Easter. She bought Lillie a beautiful pink smocked dress from Strasburg to wear and later decided that she just had to find a bonnet for her to wear with it. We went to every childrens store in Little Rock to see if they had one. We finally found one back at the Strasburg Children store and I must say it was beautiful and I thought that that Lillie was just adorable in it. It took about 15 minutes to get it on her head because everytime that I got it on her head she pulled it off before I could get it tied. When I finally got it on her she wore it through church and all the way out to Great Grans for everyone to see her!

Easter 2007

We had such a fun Easter this year. This was the first Easter that Evan understood the whole Egg Hunt and Easter Bunny thing. Evan is not much of a morning person and sometimes it takes him a little while to get going and in a good mood so when he woke up a little earlier than usual I knew we were in trouble. I tried to cheer him up by showing him the wonderful gifts that the Easter Bunny brought him. As you can see by his picture he was less than thrilled about it. He got a small wagon and wheelbarrel yard toys as well as some shovels and scoops for the sand box that his Uncle Drew is going to buy him and Lillie. Lillie on the other hand is such a morning person and woke up so excited to see the little Ballerinas that the Easter bunny left her! She was actually more interested in big brothers new toys. The picture of them together is the only picture I could get of them together I was in the way of The Wonder Pets so Evan was not to happy with the photo shoot! We all went to Church at the Church I grew up in and then out to Great Grans for Easter lunch and an egg hunt with the cousins.

We Love Spring

My parent's house is covered by azaleas so we went over for a photo shoot the other day. The flowers were beautiful. Evan wanted to sit at every flower bed to have a picture made. Lillie was not so happy with the picture taking and got a little fussy on us.

Look What I can Do!!!

The other day I put Lillie in her bed to get her some clothes and when I turned around this is what I found! She can now pull up to her knees. This is her new trick and now when she is on the floor she pulls all the way up to a stand with little help. She is trying to pull up on everything within her reach. She is working real hard on crawling and can get on all fours but has not figured it all out just yet. I am so not ready for her to become mobile. I know once she gets going she will be into everything!! She seems to be a bit more daring than her brother was because when she is standing holding my hands she will let go to reach for something else. I think this is because she so eager to be doing what Evan is doing.

A Sweet Moment

The other morning Lillie woke up around six so I put her in bed with me for a little while and then Evan woke up shortly after and came to join us. They both went back to sleep quickly so I just left them in my bed so I would not wake them. As I was getting ready I went to check on the two of them and this is how they were. I had to take a picture because they were so cute all snuggled up to each other. Now one day when they are fighting and saying they don't like each other I can pull out this picture and remind them how much they adored each other at one time!!!!!

Crashed

Today while I was getting Lillie down for a nap Evan was in the floor playing and when I came back I found this. He had just crashed. Bless his heart he has been sick all week. He woke up early Mon morning and he was burning up. We went to the doctor and he is just suffering from allergies. He has ran a fever everyday since and just has not been himself. While we were there they went ahead and did a 2 yr checkup on him since we had an appointment for him the followng day. I tried to do his and Lillie's together so I would not have to do 2 trips to the doctor but so much for that!!! He weighs 28 1/2 lbs. He is a skinny guy. I have been having the hardest time finding clothes to fit him. His 24 month pants just about fall off of his waist! He is so much fun these days but is in full swing terrible twos at times. I hope that you get to feeling better soon.
