What happened to my baby?!

Okay, so I had a nice post planned about our whole big day and what we did. Well, Lily blew my planned post right out of the water by hitting a completely insane milestone. Lily can pull herself up from sitting to standing in her crib!!! Yes, you read that right. She did it multiple times, but we only caught it on video once. Can anyone say heart attack? She turns 6 months old TOMORROW -- most babies do not do this until they are around 9 months old, I think. Geez, those must've been super pre-natal vitamins I took when I was pregnant!!!

So, I offer proof in the form of this video:

She also figured out how to get from a crawling position into a sitting position. These are the things that I miss in daycare, so I have to get my excitement on the weekends. Speaking of daycare, Leslie will start keeping Lily soon. Devin and I went up there today to hang out with Leslie and Joe a bit and nail down the terms of our agreement. I had grown pretty comfortable with Lily's current daycare and wasn't sure if I was ready to take her out of there yet (considering Leslie's house is a good 10 mile hike from my work -- 20 miles from my house or so). I had decided to pray on it and let whatever happens happen. So, 2 things happened that made me decide that now was the time: 1 - Leslie's super MRI results and 2 - The Daycare issued a letter charging us an annual fee of $75 and increasing the current weekly rate by $10 to $215 a week. This is so far out of our price range, that it is unfeasible right now to pay that amount. So, Super-Leslie to the rescue! Lily will soon be spending her days with Sam and Westbrook and Leslie.

Okay, now you may breathe from the excitement that I'm sure you're overcome with and take a look at the rest of our weekend pictures. Lily went to visit her greatgrandparents (my Dad's parents) Saturday afternoon and they enjoyed snuggling with her. On Sunday morning, Lily and I met Amy and Brendon at the park for a walk. I bet some of you are shocked that I was actually excercising. I know, I was shocked too. I just had a burst of inspiration, so it was off to Freedom Park!

Here is Lily, hanging out in the stroller. She really loved the walk. She likes to sit up very straight in her stroller now, so she can pay close attention to what's going on around her.

Here she is, looking rather unimpressed with the passing ducks. For those of you who are very detail-oriented, she is wearing different clothes than the picture above. That is because it got hot when the sun came out and her cute sweatsuit was no longer appropriate.

And here is my favorite picture of Brendon, possibly ever, and I'm proud to say that I'm the one that took it. Isn't he the cutest?
