10 Months Old!

Today is Lily's 10 Month Birthday~!

Instead of celebrating, she is in her crib throwing a temper tantrum. The poor baby came down with a cold last night and has been a whiny mess for the past week or so. She's cutting her top 4 middle teeth and it just hasn't gone too well. We are hoping that they teeth will pop through and the cold will pass really soon!

We FINALLY got our Christmas Tree! Here are some pics of us buying it. I have to say I went a little overboard on the tree. I guess I thought it would be a little over 6 ft tall (Dev is 6'3")...I was wrong. Apparently, I lack spatial reasoning skills because my tree touches the top of my 9 foot ceiling. Yeah, we all know I did bad in math.

Lily hung out with Devin in the front yard while he put on the lights (I have to point out that I find it incredible smart that he put on the lights BEFORE bringing it inside. He's a genius.). Notice that Lily is missing one of her socks. She loves to take that one off and any shoe that gets in her way. She always starts with the same foot.

Last night, we finally got around to decorating the tree. It went pretty well and Lily only played a bit on the bottom branches.

"Here Dad, let me help you with that"

It looks like the bow on the tree is on her head, doesn't it?

She liked shaking the jingle bells...

Here's Lily and me under the finished product. It's still a little sparse on ornaments, but I'm sure we'll get more every year :)

We also went out to breakfast on Wednesday with Jen, Leslie, and Sam. I wish I could've caught Lily's reaction when she saw Sam, she was so excited to see her old buddy! The two had a good time squealing together and sharing eachothers food :)



Lily snuggled with Jen on the way out, which was awesome because of Lily's recent neediness, she hasn't really wanted anyone to hold her except Mommy. Thanks Jen, my arms desperately needed a break!

Here's a video of Sam and Lily, having fun at lunch (not too sure how much fun the other patrons had listening to screaming babies, but we enjoyed it!)

I'd also like to congratulate my friends, The Pittmans, on the birth of their gorgeous son Bennett Elijah!

And my friend Marissa is currently in the hospital for Pre-eclampsia at 35.5 weeks preggo and they told her she's not going home without a baby (could be days or weeks), so if you're the praying sort, please send some her way for a healthy delivery!
