New Developments

I love how Lily chooses to show her stuff on weekends when Mommy is already armed with the camera! I am so proud: Saturday morning, Lily finally figured out how to roll over from her back to her tummy!!! At first, I thought that this might be a fluke too, but she practiced all weekend long! I do, however, think she has forgotten how to roll from tummy to back. I read somewhere that her short term memory is 7 seconds...

Look at her go!

Most of Saturday was spent cleaning the house and then hanging out with Lily at home. She just loves her door jumper!

Saturday night, Lily and I went on a walk with my mom on the McAlpine Creek Greenway off Hwy 51. Lily was grouchy the whole way there and the minute we stepped in the woods, she perked right up. She spent the entire time staring at the trees above and sqealing with delight. I think she might turn out to be a hippy. This may explain my craving to listen to the Grateful Dead in my first trimester, my exhuberance for camping in my 2nd, and the desire to wear flowy skirts in the dead of winter in the third. Here is Lily after the walk...all that nature gazing must get exhausting!

On Sunday, we visiting an old Jr High friend of mine, Beth Norcom. She is now happily married with 2 kids of her own (Keegan, almost 5 and Claudia, 8 months). We took the kids to her neighborhood pool. I didn't manage to get any pics of Beth and her kids (I was scared having my camera so close to the pool!), but I'm sure we'll visit again soon. I felt sure Lily would love the pool, but I think she was a little overtired from all the excitement. She passed out in the stroller shortly after our swim!

Beth was also kind enough to loan us her Bumbo seat. This is made for little ones before they are able to sit up by themselves. Lily loves it, I think it makes her feel like a big girl!

And finally, check out the two loves of my life, having some Daddy-Baby time:
