SIX MONTHS NO WAY!

This is Lily with some of her favorite toys to play with!

Lily is 6 months old today... CRAZY! I can't believe she's already been apart of our family for 6 whole months. It seems like she just got here. She loves to eat, sleep, and play. Her favorite toy is one that makes lots of noise. We have a baby cell phone and she loves the music it plays. Her jumper is not her favorite, but she's ok in it for a little while. She loves to eat anything really. She still hasn't rolled over completely by herself or sit up quite steadily yet. I think she is capable of rolling over, but she hates being on her stomach. He talks all the time, especially when she's mad. I like to think that she's trying to tell us what to do.

Lately, I've been having dreams about being pregnant again and that freaks me out a bit... I hope nothing comes of it yet! Maybe in another 6 months.

She's growing up WAY too fast!

We are officially on solids! She ate a whole thing of squash yesterday and she's doing so much better with the spoon. I'm excited about that, just not the diapers that follow... But yesterday I decided I would see how she did with a sippy. They say not to start til 6 months, but she's only a couple weeks away from that so I thought I would try it just for once and see what I had ahead of me. She LOVED it! She got mad when I took it away from her. So at least I don't need to worry about her being stuck on a bottle for too long. She's growing up and it's fun to watch her progress, but at the same time I miss just being able to cuddle with her and have her be content with just sitting. Oh well!

Sitting up!

She's getting better at sitting up
This was her a few seconds later

Our New Place

This is Lily's room... we're happy she has her own room!
This is a bad angle on our room, but this is only half of the size. And yes... that is a closet that is the length of the room. It makes me happy! Our bedroom is rather large is so wonderful compared to every other place we have ever lived!
Our kitchen, it's kind of small but it works. You miss the best part, the sound of the dishwasher cleaning my dishes! Woot!
Our dinning room! Yes we finally have a dinning room too!
Our front room! It's just the right size!

We are LOVING our new place. It's finally almost completely decorated. We still have some pictures we want to hang up of Lily in the Bathroom. We just need to figure out HOW we're going to get that done. Oh and the Bathroom is good and big too. The whole apartment is handicap accessible. So that means that is big and spacious. The doors are large and the hall is wide too. It's wonderful!

Our Awesome Weekend!

This past weekend, my niece and nephew, Shayla and Parker, were baptized! We were so excited for them and so proud of the choices they have made! It was definitely a very special experience and they were both just awesome examples to their families and everyone around! Congrats you guys!

On a side note, we were hanging out at my brother's house and my other nephew, "Bubba", who turned four today was playing with me and Lily. She started to drool a lot and Bubba said, "Oh no, she's dripping!" I laughed so hard!

Candids

So yeah, sorry I've been so crappy at posting lately. Life has been SUPER crazy. Here are some recent pictures that we've taken lately. Sorry that the one pic is sideways. I didn't realize that until I uploaded it, and then I was too lazy to change it. Lily is officially five months old and getting super crazy. We started feeding her cereal. For the most part she's doing well but it's not her favorite. She has been laughing a lot more, hopefully I can figure out how to get a video from our camera to here. She's fully adjusted to having both mom and dad around a lot of the time and she has also learned how to scream. That I'm not a huge fan of. Todd and I are both way busy at school and work and are hoping to make it through the next two months with out going absolutely crazy. Yeah life has been busy and it's been great!
