Lily is Crawling!

We've been dying to post these November photos...Lily is crawling!! At 9 months, 4 weeks, she finally got the hang out it. She used her new-found freedom to smash her fingers and drawers and dig into the diaper trash...yay! Mommy and Daddy are busy now. :) But it is so cute and fun to have a crawler in the house!

We love her funny little spin move that she does...too cute! She must aim. :)

All the sudden Lily is a very very busy little person! Here is a video of her at play (link to You Tube).

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yay, that blog is working again! We got a little behind due to some technical difficulties...apparently the internet can only handle SOOO many pictures of our adorable child. Anyway, back to the cuteness!

We had a great Thanksgiving! Lily loved it, even if she did throw all her Thanksgiving dinner on the floor! Grandma Dorothy and the Enderles came up to Mom and Dads to be with us this year. We missed the big family, but we were sure relieved to not have to travel this year with this tiny little person! Lily liked her quality lap time with Great Grandma!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

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!

9 Months Old!

Lily is 9 months old today!

Doesn't she look HUGE? Or I guess the 9 month card looks very small compared to her early pics. :)

This is her new trick. She sits funny with her legs sideways and scoots to where she wants to go. We are suddenly have to really think about what she can get to!

This is as close as she gets right now to all fours....then she either sits back up, flops onto her tummy, or falls on her face. But she keeps trying over and over! It's only a matter of time!

Lily is a busy busy baby these days with all her new tricks: clapping, peek-a-boo, and shaking anything she can find to check for rattles. Today we were working on high 5, and she started doing a funny chest bump thing with Jason. She's got a pretty good arm and likes to throw things (baby Angry Birds?), or flip them toward herself. Her other favorite past times include injuring Mommy and Daddy with her bites and pinches (such a wonderful expression of love). We have been joking we should have changed her costume to a lobster since she has been so busy pinching!

I just can't stop taking pictures of us in bed! This was too precious!

Today we went to see Nan and Ron and celebrate many things, including Jack's 6th birthday!

We managed to get a couple of pictures of Nan and Ron and all 3 kids!

Baby's 1st Halloween!

It's Lily's 1st Halloween!

Kenley and Lily decided to be a matching pair of ladybugs. I'm glad we captured these over the weekend, because the actual night was a typical Washington Halloween...wet and dark!
