Lily is mobile, finally. She has been rockin' n rollin' for a couple months. Just last Thursday she made it out of the den and into the living room. Its not exactly the most organized movement but she can get from point A to point B, with coaching of a toy. She started small movements months back on her belly in the reverse gear. Then she figured out how to get to her hands and knees but would cry because she didn't know how to move. Within the past couple weeks she has been scooting her back legs up underneath her but then would scream because she couldn't figure out how to move her arms. It was funny and sad at the same time. Then.... one afternoon *BAM*, she figured it out! Accompanied by her new discovered movement was her determination to pull up on everything. Needless to say this weekend's trip to the beach was a bit more interesting than last. She was pulling up on the chairs, crawling off the blanket, and impossible to hold when she saw the water. And ya know what.... I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.
On another note. We had a few hiccups with an ear infection but the Dr.s are keeping a close eye. She is up to 18lbs. I'm sure Grammy is going to laugh but...like Mother like daughter. Lily is a picky eater. As a youngster, I know I gave my mom a hard time when it came to eating the healthy things like vegetables. We have to trick Lily with every other spoonful of veggies or meats with a yummy scoop of fruit. The faces are quite interesting. Ryan says its my attitude coming out..if so WATCH OUT! We are going to have a "Wild One" on our hands.
