We are bad bad bloggers!

It's been so long since we have posted any updates. The older Lillian gets the less exciting she is I guess. JUST KIDDDING!

Lillian is doing just great. She is eating big people food all the time now and she got herself off the bottle. I was worried about taking the bottle away when she turned one, but one day about a week after she turned 1 I gave her a sippy cup and she never touched a bottle again. She finally started sleeping through the night after she turned 1, thank goodness. She loves watching TV, just commercials though so it's not too bad, but I'm telling you when a commercial comes on, don't even try to get her attention.

Dave and I are doing well too, in case anyone was wondering. We are enjoying parenthood and life in general. Me more so than Dave right now, last Monday 6/2/08 we had a bad storm and they got softball size hail out where Dave works then a couple of days later they had a flood out there so he is working all the time to try to catch everything up. I hope it happens soon, we miss him at home. Anyway, I'll try to update more often from now on.

1 year already!

Lillian turned 1 on the 30th of last month. It's hard to believe that year has passed already. Not that long ago a year seemed like a really long time to me and now I'm wishing the years could slow down a little bit. Lillian is doing great, she's 23 lbs 4 oz 31 1/2 inches long. She gets more and more beautiful everyday...You can still see new pictures of her all the time on Flickr.

Wow, 9 months already!

Lillian turned 9 months old on the 30th of December, her check up was Jan. 3rd. She is 21 lbs 15 oz and 29" long. She is very healthy and where she should be developmentally. It's hard to believe that she is 9 months old already, it seems like just yesterday when we brought her home from the hospital.

Happy 2008!!!!

Okay, so I have really been slacking on our blog, but now that we are all caught up, I'll do my best to keep it that way. Well, 2007 was a wonderful year. I believe that is obvious in the blog. We always new having a child would be a nice, but we never new how wonderful parenthood is. 2007 was probably the best year of our lives, (since 2005 anyway.) Lillian has completed our family and we could not have asked for more. I hope every else had a wonderful year and I hope 2008 brings even more blessings and joys!! Happy New Year, we love you all!!!!

(I have updated flickr as well, so you can click here to see new pictures.)

Christmas!

Lillian has a great time opening gifts for Christmas. She really liked the paper more than anything else. LOL Now that all the paper is gone she is enjoying all the fun toys, which she has WAY too many of. LOL

She loves the new kitten...

Lillian and the new kitten get along great! The cat likes to cuddle with Lillian, but only if she's sitting on our lap and he lets her play with his collar and tail.

I'm standing...

Lillian has finally figured out how to stand up. She still struggles, but once she gets up, she's happy.

It's been a while...

Since we have updated everyone. Lillian is doing so wonderful. She is almost 8 months old, ALREADY!!! She has finally started holding her own bottle, that was awesome. She attempting to crawl, she does the belly crawl right now and gets up on her hands and knees and rocks. She is getting so big, I can't believe where how time flies. Where's it go???

Lillian's Halloween costume...

She's Lady, from Lady and the Tramp

We have great news!

Lillian had an appointment with the Cardiologist this past Wednesday to check on her heart murmur. They did the echo again and we found out that the murmur has shrunk to about half the size it was. Which is great, because now even if it never goes away she will be able to live with the size it is now. We are very happy that we have a happy and healthy baby.

WOW!

I can't believe how much Lillian is changing just since she has turned 6 months old. She sitting up and playing with her toys, she has a tooth, she said dada...Dave missed it, it was during the big game yesterday. Last night she took her first steps and now she is walking a lot...while holding our hands of course. It seems like she's going to walk before she crawls, she doesn't even attempt to crawl. Every day is so exciting I wanted to share it with everyone.

Our little girl is not so little!

Lillian had her 6 month check up today, she is 18 lbs. 5 oz. and 28" long. She is in the 100th percetile for her heigth and 90th for her weight. She also had shots again and she did great, she cried for maybe 1 minute and was laughing after that...so, our baby is getting so big!!!

FIRST TOOTH!!!!

Lillian got her first tooth today...that explains the explosion poops she's been having lately. Wow, I really hope those stop now!

She's 6 months!

Lillian turned 6 months old today. We don't go to the DR till the 3rd so I'm really not sure where she is right now with her weight and length, but I know she's heavy..I'll update after her appointment...

Lillian is sitting up now!!!

Today I laid Lillian down on the floor, I ran to grab the phone when I got back she was sitting up playing with her toys. I am so upset that I missed her pushing herself up. Oh well...here's a picture for all of you to see!

Remember???

More pictures!!

Lillian had pictures done yesterday, they are all so lovely. You can view them at http://www.flickr.com/photos/lilliangrace

Lillian's first time in a park swing...

Sunday (9/2)we had a wedding to go to in Sabetha, we had a couple of hours between the wedding and the reception so we found a park and Lillian had her first experience in a park swing...she didn't really enjoy it though.

5 MONTHS!!!

Lillian turned 5 months old yesterday. She is getting so big and she is getting such a wonderful personality. We don't have another DR. appt till Oct. 3rd so I'm really not sure how much she weighs right now, but I'm sure at least 16 lbs. She's a big girl, she is fitting in 6-9 month clothes already. Check back for more updates, she has two DR appts next month, Oct. 3rd with her pediatrician, then Oct. 24th with the cardiologist where she will get another ECG to check the size of the hole...please pray that it is at least a little smaller.

Momma's new tattoo!!!

I couldn't help it, I had to do it...What do you all think?
