We have put a baby gate up between the kitchen and the dining room. This is Lily's new favorite stop to stand and hang out. She does this crawl and stand up routine at the gate many times a day. If you listen closely, you can hear mama bear worried that she may fall. Daddy has no such fear, he has great confidence in her standing abilities.
Tonight at dinner, Lily has leftover roasted chicken, carrots and potatoes, that her daddy made. It was a big step. She loves her bottle and her baby food, but until tonight had turned her nose up and stuck her tongue out at any kind of chunks in her baby food. She did really well. She ate a few pieces of each. Chewed and swallowed them up. She got a little frustrated, so we gave the rest to Gracie and Lily had a jar of apples and chicken. She's such a big girl. Prior to dinner, she had stood up many times by herself and tried to use her walker. We will post a new video soon of all this standing up.
Lily was in a great mood this morning and wanted to take some photos. Now we just need her daddy to be super awake and happy in the morning too. Check out the 2 bottom teeth that Lily is sporting.
We had a lunch date today with Amy, Vickie, Sam and Hannah. I don't take Lily out very often, besides school and Hackie's and Boot's. Maybe I should. You can tell from the photos that she really enjoys it. She was fascinated with Sam and Hannah - and tried to say hello to every other person in Willie's. I think she was just really trying to get someone to buy her a taco. Typical!

It's 1:45pm and I am feeling so much better after those shots. I just had broccoli, broccoli for the first time. I dug it. Gracie, as usual, had some little crunchies that I threw on the floor when I was done. I almost ate a carrot chunk, but then remembered, I hate chunks of food. I will try chunks again tomorrow and see if I still hate them.
Here we are at the dr office minutes before our last round of shots for our ear infection. We won't show you the pictures of seconds after the shots. Dr says we are looking much better. Now we wait 2 weeks and then come back for one more check-up. If that one doesn't go well, we are off to the ENT to get tubes. Keep your fingers crossed.
No pictures today, just an update on Lily's constant ear infection. We went to the doctor today to do a check-up on the results of antibiotics on ear infection number 4. As I thought, from all the crankiness and constant ear pulling, the infection was not gone. Today we started the first of 3 daily Rocephin injections. Apparently, these aren't that pleasant to receive. That is probably why Lily is fast asleep right now. After day 3, if we still have an ear infection, it is off to the ENT and a discussion about tubes.
Lily came home from school today with a 3 pony tail faux hawk. We are assuming this is courtesy of Mrs. Amy. Our hope is that if Boot goes to beauty school as he promised during our wedding preparations, that Lily will have great hair for many years to come. We wanted to get some shots of the hairstyle, but then Lily got very excited about the camera flashing, so we just turned it into an all out photo shoot. So happy Tuesday, and happy Faux Hawk.
On Friday, Lily really started to crawl. On Saturday, we took this video. Again, I was a little slow in the beginning, so we miss her crawling over to the bug and standing on her own. Maybe we will be standing and walking soon too. She also said "Ball" yesterday. Once she said it, we tried over and over to get her to say it again. Apparently, she does not perform on command.
