Here is a funny "photo story" of Lily.

I woke up with crazy hair.

Then Mom and Dad took me to a restaurant where I discovered this glass. So, naturally I had to taste what was in it.

I needed a short break.

But soon I was ready for more, and Dad was slow giving me the glass. So I let him know to hurry it up.

I had another drink and was so content. Then I saw Mom's camera and wanted that. She wouldn't give it to me. I tried to get it anyway.

The End.

Lily had her first half birthday a few days ago. I can't believe she is already six months old. We went out to eat (surprise surprise) to celebrate and of course, Lily had a blast. There was a huge table of people to our left and they were so taken with her giggling and chatting, we had to go over and show off Lily so they could talk to her. Perhaps its her new ability to shove two large toys in her mouth at the same time, while talking, and banging her hands, toys, whatever on the table that had them all so enthralled. Or maybe it was the funny/cute hat.

Or maybe its her improving table manners...

Either way, Happy Half Birthday to Lily!

Rage

Saturday, September 11, 2010

I am worried about my daughter. Lately she has been exhibiting signs of deep-set rage. She pounds her little fists on anything and everyone. She has nearly broken my keyboard, the piano, and my face. I wonder where all this anger is coming from? Still very cute as she giggles immediately after her face was bent on destruction.

On another note. Lily thinks the world revolves around her, which it does. She believes all "fun" noises, such as alarm clock beeps, clapping, cell phones ringing, and cars honking are created solely for her listening pleasure. She displays this with big grins and looks of joy whenever these noises occur.

Oh and she likes to sit by herself in shopping carts and high chairs now. Here she is deciding what to order for dinner.

Oops

I have been cutting Adam's hair lately. Now remember, I am no pro and have only cut it once or twice before this. Also, it was dark outside, my baby was screaming for me to come get her and I didn't really want to cut his hair at that time. Still, he is, sadly, the one who got the short end of the stick.

Ha ha my husband now looks like a punk-rocker on one side and a conservative business man on the other.

You just might be a stay-at-home-mom when...

You have a "conversation" with your child and forget your husband is there listening.

Mine went something like this.

Me: "Lily here are some peas for you to try!"
Lily: In my voice, "But mom I've already had lots of pees today!"
Me: "Don't worry these are the peas you can eat, not the pees in your diaper!"
Adam: Laughs loudly
Me: Embarrassment
Lily: Blank stare, then a swan dive for the peas.

Food Fun

Lily loves sweet potatoes!!

and hates peas and carrots!

And loves to drink out of big girl cups!
