10 months old! Snuggly Girl

Lily is 10 months old and MUCH too busy for a photoshoot! We didn't really get any winner photo this month that had our 10 month sign in it. Oh well!
 




I'm blurry, but I love to clap!

 We have been having so much fun with Lily this month! I seriously wanted to stay home from work one day last week so I could just stay home and watch her practice standing! She can now stand for about 8 seconds on her own, and she is cruising (walking around while holding on to things). Rachel brought over a push toy, and she is just starting to figure out how to walk behind it. It's all very exciting, but it sure feels like she is about to leave baby-hood behind in favor of toddler life! She also started waving (usually only after we have said goodbye and the person is long gone).
 One of Jason's favorite jobs is bringing her sleepy self in from the car when she crashes in there. We love cuddly time! We seem to be all up in stranger anxiety (she no longer is up for letting anyone hold her) and likes to snuggle in when we are in crowded places or large parties. She has been super snuggly in general lately and we are enjoying every minute of it! Now that she is mobile, she can also crawl her way over and try to climb up our legs, which is pretty fun.

Just doing some reading in the tub.
Precious little toes...and hands!

We have one more week of school, and then we have two straight weeks to spend with our Lillian! We are really looking forward to it!




Holiday Fun!

We can't believe it is time for Baby's 1st Christmas! We are having so much fun introducing Lily to a whole bunch of family traditions. Here are some things we have been up to so far this holiday season...

Bellevue Botanical Garden D'Lights







Mill Creek Santa Parade

We met a professional photographer who took the girls' pictures and posted them here. Check out our cuties!










Christmas Cookies


PEPS Holiday Fun and Ornament Making




Snowflake Lane

We were supposed to meet up with the Friesens but they had so much fun at the lights it ended up being just the three of us....and many of me and Jason's students! Lily loved the drummers and could barely take her eyes off them to check out the lights and "snow!" After, she slept through dinner with Kristin, Justin, Kae, Libby, Alex, Kaden, and Jack...what a good baby!

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).
