Snow Day

Today was such a fun day!! We ended up going to James' moms in Cobb Mountain. Last week it snowed and still had a lot left over, so we decided to take a drive up there. Devin decided to come with us, it was about an hour and a half drive, Lily slept the way there. The minute we got there Sprocket jumped out of the truck and ran into the snow. He started to run so fast his jowls were taking flight, so funny!

I tried to get Lily to touch the snow but she wasn't having it, so we decided to make a little snowman for her to play with, she took the eye out, and then had nothing to do with it. She was enjoying watching James, Devin and Sprocket play in the snow.

We spent the whole day there so needles to say both Sprocket and Lily were tired, and slept all the way home. It was such a blast, I can't wait to do it again!

Reading

For the past 2 weeks Lily has shown a lot of interests in books, she will sit on your lap and listen to you read and even help turn the pages. When you are not reading to her, she will pick up a book and start reading it to herself, it's so cute to hear her baby talk to herself. This will keep her entertained for about 20min. We have bought her a few new books and while in the store she will squeal with joy when we hand it to her. Her favorite book is called Lamb, I got it from work. I left it over at my moms for her to use while she is babysitting, thinking it would just be another chew toy, but come to find out it has been her favorite book. She likes to life the little flaps inside to see what animal is under it, while my mom makes the noise of the animal, very entertaining :) The book in the picture I bought at Rite Aid for $2, since they are going out of buisness, they have a lot of good buys. She also enjoys Mrs. Spiders Sunny Patch Family Photo Album that I bought her at Grocery Outler for 0.99! yahoo!

Best Buds

I think it's time for you to meet our first baby, Sprocket. We got him at the pound when he was 2months old. He is our baby boy, and goes every where with us. He goes to work with James every day. The moment James and I found out that I was pregnant, we thought Sprocket would be very jealous and things wouldn't work out with him and the new baby. He was with us for 2 years before Lily came. When Lily was born we introduced Sprocket to her, it was totally different. When she would cry he would run up to her to find out what was wrong, he would go to her for her every need. When we started to give her tummy time, he would be right there next to her. He would lay next to her every time she was on the ground, it was so cute. I have attached some older pics of them together, with some that I took tonight. They are truly best buds, and with time will only get closer, how cute!

Potty Time?

So the other day James and I bough Lily a potty. I know it's a little soon, but I couldn't resist buying her one. It is so cute, it even has her own toilet roll! So we got it home, I pulled it out of the box and set it up in the bathroom. I sat her on it, and well... you tell me? She immediately threw herself off of it and crawled away. I don't think she will be potty trained anytime soon, but I just wanted to share the cute pics of her on it. The pics show how she reacted to it in stages. funny.

Chuck E. Cheese's

Tonight Lily went to her first birthday party. My friend Heather's son Nathan turned 3, and had his b-day party at Chuck E. Cheese's. First off, Lily has been suffering from an ear ache for a couple of days, so needless to say we didn't stay very long. We stayed for about 45 min and she had a blast. She saw Barney, Bob the Builder and some robot thing. She played a basketball game with her daddy and won 6 tickets, we attempted to get a picture taken of all of us, but she kept moving and she came out blurry. I think her favorite thing was the disco ball in the middle of the party area.

I am so thankful she is starting to feel better, when she went in for her shots she caught a cold at the doc office. She ended up getting so congested, that it turned into an ear infection. She is on antibiotics for 7 days =( She is feeling much better, and sleeping really good. I better get going, she is starting to get mad that I am on the computer and not playing with her. Enjoy the pics!

Lily's new ride

So for Christmas Lily got her first car. An '08 Fisher Price! It was love at first sight. Since Christmas the weather has not been that warm enough to take it for a test drive, but finally a couple of weekends ago we got a warm streak with very little wind. We thought we should take her to the park. We pushed her around Luchessi Park and she loved it! We managed to get around the entire pond and then some. She was such a good little girl, I can't wait for some more nice weather so we can do it again. Here are a few pics of her, notice her cell phone? She has one hand on the wheel and one holding her cell phone, typical California driver! =) Enjoy the pics, I'm going to get my Jammie's and get ready for American Idol!

The perfect bathtub

So I have been bathing Lily in the bath tub, trying to hold onto her and suds her up at the same time, My back would start to kill me and she would start crying. bath time was not fun. One day I was putting the dishes in the dishwasher and it occurred to me, the sink! I can bathe Lily in the sink, duh! Why didn't I think of that before?? I think everyone has a photo of them getting a bath in the sink! I felt like a dork, but ever since I thought of it Lily has been enjoying her baths until her toes turns to prunes. I love it! Here are some pics of her.
