Return from the Stone Age!

I would like to apologize to all of our loyal followers, but we have not had the internet in so long that the blog posts got waaay behind. I will be working on bringing everyone up to speed on the last 3-4 weeks as there is much to share. In the meantime enjoy these photos of the one and only Lily Rose

Rock-a-Stack

Another fun familiar past time. A new toy from Memaw!

Just too much fun!!!Lily has enjoyed her rock-a-stack for a few weeks now. Up till now Lily had taken joy in removing the rings from the 'stack'. Now... Lily has learned how to put the colorful rings back on the 'stack' and she can be quite particular in making sure they go on in the right order! As her parents, we would call this sophistication.

Ebay fun!

Kimberly has had some real success in Ebaying lately and we thought we would show off Lily's new additions to her wardrobe. Most are Christmasy so you will have to wait to see her in them, but for now we can use our imagination.

Then again some are just pretty...(I can't explain it but blogspot keeps flipping these next pictures!)

GAMEDAY!

Lily's getting excited for gameday! She's got her Bama passy in and she's ready to rock!

Now it is time to crunch some numbers... Now it is time to call it into her bookie

A+ on the report card

School has been very good for Lily in so many areas one could not even begin to count up. We were able to get a peek at her playing with Bailey, 20 mo. This table has a bucket full of legos so Lily can become the best architect in the world! You will notice there is an obstruction...

Then there is only a blur of what used to be an obstruction...

Then a victory smile...

Then the, "that's enough pictures mom, you're embarrassing me"...

Then a cute photo of her and Bailey working as a team!

An Apple A Day...

Lily has reached a development milestone... turning 1 year old!!! This calls for her 12 month check-up. Just to make sure all the bells and whistles are in good working order! Lily checked out with a good bill of health. First and for most, all the grandmothers want to know how much that baby weighs! You would think from all of our posts of the amount and variety of food Lily chows down she would have a record breaking weight.

That is not the case for this Lil'bit...
She only weighs a wopping 18.9 1/2 pounds! If you don't believe it here is the proof.I don't know where this 18.9 1/2 pounds is hidding.

Its not here...

Don't see it there...

Definately none hidding here...Maybe its because she does alot of this... Next examined was her head circumfrence. I would tell you that the 17 inches aroud Lily's head is the world record because we have a baby genious on our hands. But I would be stretching the truth.... just a wee bit! However, we would like to think it is a big number because we think our baby is pretty smart! A surprise to us all, Lily ranks in the 75th percentile for height... clearly she will not quite 'grow' out of this trait but settle into her right size. It's been predetermined (by her slightly undersized parents) that Lily's hope for great height is dim. What's that you said?? SHOTS?? Poor thing had to get 3 shots on her birthday :(

Overall, Lily was pretty pleased with her report from doctor at 12 months!And her parents are too!

Lily is right on schedule with all the developmental milestones and doing them with perfection! Lately, we have accomplished the task of moving from stationary to 'catch me if you can' and from mush in cup to a feast at the table! We are so proud of our 1 year old TODDLER!!!!

Party Time, Excellent!!!!!

The kids played around the house today doing all sorts of things. Among those Andrew made the breakfast table his new fort.

Then Lily showed her new talent...drinking her own bottleThen not to be complacent with her own accomplishments, she then began to drink her bottle and climb the steps...What a multitasker!!
