Lily Goes to Leavenworth

This week I took Lily to the pediatrician for her 9 month well baby check up.

Her stats:

27.48 inches - 47th %ile
18.11 pounds - 37th %ile

She gained almost 2 pounds and 2 inches since her 6 month appointment. She is still mostly just average in everything!

We are enjoying a lovely 4-day weekend at home this weekend. Jason and I are both deep in conference season (which is why we get the extra day). Being a TWO teacher family with a new baby sometimes makes things that use to be difficult seem impossible...like conferences. Luckily we were able to work things out with a little help (thank you Mary and Megan for watching Lily!). Phew! Next big hurdle: report cards!

We took advantage of the weekend with a impromptu trip to Leavenworth with Michael, Rachel, and Kenley! It seems like not that long ago we were there for the weekend with the Friesens and tiny Kenley! We had lunch at our favorite German place, checked out the shops, and looked for the perfect "Baby's 1st Christmas" ornament at the HUGE Christmas shop there (couldn't commit, still on the hunt!). There was even a tiny bit of snow! Lily was very thankful for her hat and mitts that Lisa knitted for her...it was COLD!

Craaaaazy outfit...just kept adding layers to stay warm! We discovered that babylegs are an essential item when being carried in the Ergo!

Out of the whole toystore KK picked these foods to bring home!

We are suspicious that Lily is working on her first word. Twice this week when I took her to daycare it sounded like she said "hi" (the daycare teachers got all excited, I wasn't so sure...) and Jason swears he heard "Dada." I think we both need to hear something in order to make it official! We'll keep you updated!

Meanwhile, Lily continues to entertain us with her hilarity. Check out this video of her chest-bumping Jason. Could she be one of You Tube's 10 Ten most hilarious babies??

Also, here are some old ones I forgot to include but couldn't be missed: Lily's 1st Husky Game! We didn't get too many pictures because it was COLD and WET! But Lily's lucky streak continues...it was a great win against Oregon State!
