Lily's first food



She was so great!! Daddy did airplane which she seemed to laugh at so although not much actual food went into her mouth she at least had fun! She definitely made some faces but did pretty well....next stop...Clams Casino! ( :

Ahhh Lily, that isn't what Mommy meant! These are pictures of food that she is trying to eat. I am sure she will get the hang of it!

Lily's First Snow!!

If you squint really really hard you can see the "Village of Chateaugay" sign in the background. Lily didn't seem to notice the snow that much but she was a bit weirded out by the snow touching her face...kind of like...excuse me? I am walkin' here! But then she forgot about it.

I heard it was 70 degrees in DC yesterday......interesting. Where exactly ARE WE??

Anson Makes Lily Laugh



Anson said "When I pet him, he makes me happy"
Stacey says "Is Lily a Boy or Girl?"
Anson says "A GIRL!!" (of course)

I guess they haven't covered pronouns in preschool yet so I will let it go for a bit. ( :

My favorite part of the video is when Anson SPAZES out and Lily finally smiles!

Lily and the Burkes...

Grandma Judy shows Lily the phish...oops, FISH.... (Dude! Best Show EVER!)


Maddy shows the cats to Lil and she finally paid attention to them but these cats are much nicer than our Seven...

Con-Man with the squishy ball.....

Ahhh, Aunt Karen holds sleepy Lily...

Papa rocks Lily in his chair...

Patrick and Matthew read to Lily....can you find the mouse?


Its really great! I am so glad to finally be able to bring my own child into this!! Its so much fun.

Aunt Kym and Uncle Don's Shower

Lily Potter and Her Hogwarts...

Just a typical afternoon with the Bowers' Family where someone just happened to have Harry Potter glasses that fit Lily perfectly. So we tortured her with a few 1000 poses or so of this and various other glasses and hats but this one turned out the best.
GramMary (aka: GlamMa) making Lily giggle...


A close up......


One happy family....
Aunt Bobbie and soon to be Grandma! Seems like she will do just fine with her new little tyke on the way...

I now realize that we didn't get a picture of the Parent's to Be...Kym and Don. Well, next time...congrats to you guys!

October Smiles



This is exactly why we became parents. She is so stinkin' cute! The smiles and giggles are more and more obvious and COMPLETELY rewarding.

Long overdue update...



Ok, yes...yes...I know, I know..its been way to long. We had to get an extra push from Mr. and Mrs. Professional Blogger this weekend Ryan and Ali (seen here: http://www.tripdub.blogspot.com/) SHOUT OUT!! Story is, we left our camera at Endo and Anna's...blah blah blah, here is your update:

At Lily's last check this is how she measured up:
Height: 25 1/2 inches, 90 percentile
Weight: 16 pounds 8 ounces, 95 percentile (YOWSER!!)
Head Circumference: 42 cm (75 percentile)

So most of you know that Lily had a hard time gaining some weight in the beginning..(eh hem, cough cough) not so much at this point. We will see people in the grocery store and they guess that Lily is at least 8 months old. No, we are just stuffing her with butter so we can eat her at Thanksgiving a la fois gras style. DELICIOUS!

Lily is giggling all the time now but it doesn't surpass her curiosity. She will stare at you like you are an idiot...and then finally smile. She loves watching people and really thrives with tons of people. THANK GOD FOR THAT!

She is talking and talking all the time too! Talking like.....aww-ooww, aah ahh, arrrrrrr...wooo..wooo not REALLY giving speeches or anything. We have no idea where she gets that. Probably Daddy.

She hasn't rolled over yet. I am not worried about it...I wouldn't worry about it...its nothing to worry about. Here is a few seconds of her trying to roll over...:


So when we last saw Sadie Edelstein Lily's Mommy thought that Lily would NEVER get that big. Well, she was wrong. DEAD WRONG! Lily is bigger than Sadie now and Sadie is 2.5 months older! Hilarious. Oh also, Lily's head is huge in comparison. Yes, be quiet Aunt Karen.

Here is when Lily first met Sadie...
And this past weekend....
