My New Tubes

Lily had a 6:15am appointment today to have tubes put in her ears. After the 8th ear infection in 3 months, it was time. It was a very fast procedure and Lily was a champ. Mom was not so much of a champ. Lily is a little cranky and wants to be cuddled today, but you can tell from the pictures that she is still her smiling self.

9 Months Old Today

Lillian Grace turned 9 months old today.  We were planning on doing a fancy photo shoot, but I am still fairly sick from the cold Lily gave me, so the shoot has been postponed until next weekend.  We went out today and had brunch at Cinco with the Capell's to celebrate Heather's birthday, then to the outlet mall to do a little shopping.  I don't know about the other 2 in these photos, but I am worn out and ready for bed. 

Our First Mother's Day

Well it's not the day we had planned. Instead of brunch, we spent it at the ER. After a night of 103 fever, we have our ear infection back. We also missed Billy's birthday brunch plans this year due to a vomitting issue. Wonder what Lily has in store for the combined Mom's bday, Father's day weekend in June.

Bye Bye Buggy

Today was the trike-a-thon at school.  Lily's class participated by going out for the first time in the Bye-Bye-Buggy.  Billy went to take pictures.  You can tell that as with most things, Lily loved it.  Those feet are all up in the air.  Daddy had to go, cause Mommy is at home for the 3rd day suffering through a virus.  On the good news front, Lily went to the Dr. yesterday for her ear check-up, and we are ear infection free.  Everyone here is very happy.  Now, if we could just get through teething. 


Carnival

Today was the McGinnis Woods Spring Carnival.  Lily had many firsts today.  1st train ride, 1st bounce house, 1st horse ride.  You can see in the bounce house picture that she doesn't think there should be any crying in the bounce house.  She was so good on the horse, that we think we may need to sign her up for riding lessons soon. 

Watch me standing - from behind

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.
