Got Caught

When Chad is home from school he always keeps his backpack on the floor by the table. One of Lily's favorite things is going over to the bag and pulling out all of Chad's highlighters and pens in his side pocket and putting them on the ledge of this window. I have no idea what is so fun about it, but she could do it all day.

Reading Already

Are cute little girl loves to have us read her stories. I guess this time she wanted to try it on her own.

My Little Witch

I was wrapping a gift and ran out of wrapping paper. Lily took the tube of cardboard and was playing with it. I didn't really think much of it. When I finished and cleaning everything up I wanted to throw the tube away. I look in our bathroom and there's Lily stiring her pot of brew. She entertains me everyday. I love being a mom!

Look a Little Closer

I was in my bedroom making the bed. I came out into the front room and found something different with Lily. Look close you may see that she has an extra something where she shouldn't. Some how she put my cell phone down her pants. I was laughing so hard. I had to stop and take a picture. She was just walking around drinking her bottle like nothing was wrong.

One Year Pictures

Lily's Rash

Lily had her one year check up and shots. When we went to the doctor she had her first ear infection. The doctor started her on amoxicillin. She finished that. A few days later she broke out in this rash. It started out really light and got worse. It was so sad to see my little girl like this. I took her back to the doctor and they said that she had a reaction to her MMR shot. It took about a week to clear up. I hated that I couldn't so anything for her. I also was so worried as it progressed and didn't get better. It seemed like every morning it was worse, and I couldn't do anything for her. As a parent your children look to you for protection and comfort. I felt so helpless. I did everything I could we just had to wait. I wanted to cry everytime she looked up at me with her red face. I'm so glad that she recovered.

Lily Turned One

Lily had a birthday. I was up in Utah visiting family. Chad wasn't able to be there because of school. As you are looking there are no pictures of Chad. We sure did miss him. Lily didn't want anything to do with her birthday. She started crying when we sang to her. She didn't want to wear her birthday crown. She didn't even want to touch her cake. She started out just picking at it, then she went to town on it. When she couldn't get it off her hands she was done. We love having Lily. She is so much fun. She makes me laugh everyday. We are just little buddies. Happy Birthday Lily.
