"KISESSSSS"

recently Lilley has discovered her own reflection in the mirror and she loves to give kisses to it. :) She loves to give kisses anyway, but she gets so excited to crawl up to the mirror and lay a big slobbery open mouthed kiss on it. And then sit back and stare at herself. hahaha. too cute.

Technology confuses/frustrates me sometimes!

Sometimes, I feel really stupid when i use the internet- IE- I made an evite for Lilleys' birthday party a few weeks back because I was too lazy to make her invitations, so I filled out all the info, sent the message and everything was good. Then, a few days later, my sometimes short-term- memory challenged husband told me he had something going on the date of her party. :( Umm, HELLO!! We already discussed, in detail, what day we were going to have her party on... grrr, so anyways, I signed back in to evite to change the date and send out a notice saying we changed it to the following Saturday. That was fine, the notice was sent out no problem,and i even received a few reply of those unable to make it. But now, for the last week I have been getting emails everyday from myself with her invitation and the notice saying I changed the date, so I APOLOGIZE TO ANY OF YOU WHO MAY BE RECEIVING DAILY EMAILS FROM ME, IM NOT TRYING TO BUG YOU BY ANY MEANS ABOUT HER PARTY I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON im not even the one sending them! SO I JUST DELETED HER INVITATION ALL TOGETHER SO HOPEFULLY YOU DONT RECEIVE ANY MORE EMAILS! IM SO ANNOYED WITH THAT!!!

ILL post it on my blog once, with regard to the date change and that is it...

Saturday June 25th @ 12:30 pm @ Harveston Lake Gazebo.

i can't keep track anymore of who received what. So LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, VENTING SESSION OVER! Thanks for listening. :)

The Blueberry Queen

This is her- don't mind the grubby face, she had already eaten about 10 blueberries at this point in our adventure. :)

She LOVES, and i mean LOVES BLUEBERRIES! When we go grocery shopping, I have to hide them from her because she screams at me to eat them if she sees them. Same thing at home, when im feeding her, if theyre on her plate or in her bowl and she runs out, I have to distract her with other food. I'm not sure where the obsession came from, neither Frank or I love them, we like them, but deffinitly not as much as Lilley. Anyway, we went to the Blueberry Farm with a friend and her little girl and the two liked it... Lilley was uncharacteristically grumpy- that darn second tooth is bugging her, but she did manage to eat several while we strolled through the orchard... wasn't really planning on taking the stroller, I was hoping she'd be walking better, but she hasn't quite mastered it yet so the stroller was the best way to go. Morgan, my friends little girl enjoyed the experience a little better I think because she was cruising down the orchard by herself. But overall it was fun and can't wait til next year to take Lilley back and revel in picking her own favorite fruit. :)


note the blueberries clutched in her hand while waiting for me to take a picture. :)










And then, this is how we finished off the day. Back to her normal smiley happy self. :)

Once again, please contact me any of those three ways, and keep checking for the posts with the headbands! :) thanks!

How big is Lilley?

"Sooooooooooo big". Im temporarily lacking the picture to accompany that statement, my cord is missing for my camera, but in the meantime, just know that is her new favorite thing to do... It started on Easter Sunday, and now the minute you get out "how big" she throws both arms up in the air with the most giant grin from ear to ear and we finish saying "lilley" and then "soooo big" and she's happy as can be.
At 11 months and 1 week, she's truly getting so big.

~stands alone for several seconds
~has taken a couple accidental steps (but is desperately trying to figure out how to do it again)
~still sleeps 12-13 hours a night
~eats a little less (she's teething big time)
~has 1 1/2 teeth (neither has fully risen yet)
~has decided she's not in to signing much anymore
~says mama,dada,dog ~ she yells a lot- LOVES to hear the sound of her own voice in extremely high pitches
~still LOVES the tv show "SIGNING TIME"
~ LOVES music and loves to dance... we tell her to shake her booty and she does this twisty shake and little bounce. too cute!
~crawls like a wind-up toy... shes quick!

overall she's still such a happy girl, a bit dramatic the last week or so, (we think she's growing more teeth) and has been grouchy, but of course we still love her.

She thinks she's big, and wants so bad to walk and talk, if youre around for any length of time, you can just see the determination in her eyes and the way she studies people. Especially little kids. Our neighbors have a 2 and 4 year old and Lilley plays with them a lot, and she babbles at them while she's playing like she's having a conversation and when they walk somewhere she follows them and always tries to stand up but then eventually just gets on her knees and takes off crawling after them. So fun to watch! :)

As for me and the new baby- STILL dont know for sure what were having. 2 times they said boy, 1 time, and most recently it was a girl, but we can't tell for sure because the ambilical cord has been and still is lodged directly between the baby's legs and we haven't been able to get he or she to move so the cord moves slightly.
Just as i have thought- this baby is going to be super stubborn! :) hahaha. I'm 29 weeks along, so at this point we're not sure we're going to find out. If we do, we'll be sure to pass the news along!

10 month pictures

so these are a little behind the post about Lilley's 10 month stats.... The pics are mostly the same as the ones on facebook, but i thought i'd share them here too. :)

Happy Mother's Day.

Happy Mother's Day! This year, as for all first time moms, this day has a whole new special meaning. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
