Bathing Beauty

Well, it is officially hot here! So we've been spending lots of time in the pool.  Lily loves the water.  Here are a couple of shots before we got in the water and the camera went inside.

17 Weeks

A little behind since I'm 18 weeks now but at 17 weeks I was feeling great.  Just starting to feel the baby move a little more regularly.  Tired by the end of the day after chasing Lily around, but not utterly exhausted.  Normally I have a major sweet tooth but with pregnancy it seems to go away for me and I prefer salty foods. Jen took some pictures on her way out.  Thanks Jen!

Hanging with Hayley

Last week Jen and Hayley came over to play.  Lily always has fun with Hayley (when they aren't fighting over a book or toy these days!)  I remember when these two used to crawl around together and it seems like it was last week instead of a year ago.  Lily loves asking my friends to read to her.  I thought these pictures were sweet.

Counter Surfing

Lily loves to sit on the counter while you pour her milk.  She thinks she is SO big.  I love all of her cute little expressions.  She is such a funny girl, and she is always making us laugh!

Classic Lily

Here is Lily, doing what she does (destroying.)  If I'm doing something productive, she is making a mess somewhere in the house.  Today's attempt involved pulling all of the ziploc baggies out and spreading them all over the kitchen floor, along with hot chocolate packets. 

16 Weeks

We went out to dinner last Saturday for our birthdays at Bonnie Ruth's while Aunt Tracy and Uncle Blake watched Lily.  It was so nice to go out to dinner without our little firecracker in tow.  Phil took a picture of the 16 week belly while we were out.  We're going to try to do a picture every week from here on out, but we'll see how that works out!  There is no hiding it at this point.

Bedtime Stories

Long time no blog!  Lily is getting better about sitting while you read her a book.  A couple of weeks ago we had dinner with Candace and Jeff at our house and we met up with them after I finished a shoot.  Phil had put Lily down, but she was definitely not asleep.  The boys went to pick up our dinner and I went and got Lily out of bed.  She wanted to lay in Candace's lap and read her Bible stories.  It was so cute to see, and after some snuggles she went to bed without a fight.
