Again we were in Ft. Lauderdale for some family festivities. We stayed with Ryan's parents this trip. Of course Granny Ronna spoiled Lily to the max. She added a new purchase to her baby collection, a "Jumper-Roo". So between my mom's and Ryan's dad's, we will never have to pack much. They've got it all...cribs, highchairs, sassy seats, jumpers, toys, blanket, bibs, clothes and the list goes on. It makes traveling very nice considering we use my tiny car for the majority of our travels. And lets keep in mind EVERYWHERE we go...Zeke(family dog) goes. It's kinda funny to see him sitting in the back seat with Lily as she scratches his back.
We attended a baby shower for our friends Chris and Nicole on Saturday at a park. It was a beautiful day for it! Not a cloud in the sky. On Sunday we went to Lily's Great Uncle Mike's for her GREAT GRANDMA'S 21st Birthday ;) I wish I snapped a shot of her with Lily but I will have to snag my mom's camera to get a copy. We had a nice visit. As soon as we drove away we said to each other, "The down fall to living on the other side of the state :( , everything is cut in half".
In addition to our parties...Lily took her first "big girl bath". No baby tub, she was about to bust out of it so we thought it was time. Granny Ronna bought "tub toys" which quickly turned into "chew toys". Each night she chose a new victim(letter) for her bath session :)
Sunday afternoon we gave Lily a new chew toy, only this one contained real food. Its a mesh bag that can be filled and screwed on top of a handle grip. So I filled it full of fresh apples. Yummm
Aside from that, Lily is doing great. She recently started to reach for us or put her arms up when she is wanting or ready to be held. Its the best feeling. She is still sleeping and eating like a champ. She can also get on her hands and knees to "rock". I wanted to video it this week but being that I am so forgetful it will have to wait considering I left my video camera in Ft. Lauderdale. Ryan is not the least bit surprised.
