One is FUN!

Well, our little Lily May turned ONE YEAR OLD on the 20th....

It is so hard to believe it's already been a year...she has come such a long way from the little punkin' that was born at 2lbs 2oz & 28 weeks to a healthy one year old. We are so blessed to have her. Mike & I have been very emotional over the past few weeks thinking about how far she has come.

As a one year old, Lily May...

  • Has 6 teeth - 2 on top & 4 on bottom
  • Just started crawling a few weeks ago & is into EVERYTHING
  • Loves to say Da-Da - but not "Ma Ma" yet :-(
  • Smiles ALL the time...it is so sweet. She's very happy.
  • Has the most intoxicating laugh...it melts your heart.
  • Is infatuated with Bella, our Lab & has just started pulling up on Bella & when Bella is sitting & Lily is standing, they are almost eye-to-eye. She's also (unfortunately) infatuated with Sinatra, our older Shih Tzu, who doesn't like to have his tail pulled, etc.
  • Loves finger foods & seems to have lost interest in pureed baby food.
  • Has no interest in a sippy cup, even with juice in it.
  • Is interested in everything & will snatch something before you are even aware of what she's doing. She takes pens out of waitresses' pockets, tries to take off anyone's name tag & generally wants to touch EVERYTHING.
  • Is the LOVE OF OUR LIVES!

Here are some pictures from her 1st Birthday...


Mugging for the camera with Daddy - she's smiling so big she closed her eyes.


Another one with Daddy, this time with a more natural smile.


Chillin' in her PJ's in her new chair, one of her birthday gifts


So serious...


Lovin' that sweet stuff!


What a little cutie!


Her little birthday cake-it was so adorable!
