Lily 8 months old!

Little Lily is 8 months old now. Wow how things have changed. She is pulling up on everything in site. She is running this house like she has always been a part of it. We just love her more and more everyday.

We have had my mom's 3 dogs here for the month of July and Lily loves to squeal at them. They in turn love when she eats, she likes to drop everything on the ground.

As you can see Lily likes to hold her on bottle and eat on the floor. That is nice it gives mom and dad 4 minutes to do something else.

We went to the doctor today to have her cough checked. Dr. Amanda put her on antibiotics and sent us over to the imaging center for chest x-rays. They put Lily in this strange plastic tube looking thing. She was not sure about all of it. She did not cry until the very end. We are still waiting on the results from the x-rays. I am praying that she is just a snotty coughy kiddo (Dr. Amanda's words).

Sorry it has been so long. I promise to get better at this. McF

Hard Lesson Learned!

well we learned a great lesson on Sunday morning. We laid Lily on the bed and turned away for 2 seconds and boom there she was on the floor. What a horrible feeling it all was. Mike and I did not know what to do. She was screaming her little head off with a bump on her head and a busted lip. We for sure learned that we can never leave her on the bed again. She is doing great and it only kept her from smiling for a little bit. Our hearts just broke when it happened. Unreal. I am not looking forward to her walking and getting any more bumps and bruises.

It was a great weekend. Lily had such a busy day on the 4th. She went and played with her cousins and then went to a BBQ next door. She was a little unsure of the fireworks at first. But, daddy held onto her and that made it all better. She is on the move and does not like to sit still. Time to child proof the entire house. McF Awww. Not many pics of her and mommy.

Lily 7 months and 1 week old.

So many things are starting to happen. She is now crawling all around. You put her on the ground and you turn the other way and she is gone. It is amazing to watch her get around. We went in for her shots last week a little late she was supposed to get them at 6 months. ooops. She weighs 18lbs. I am starting to feel that weight in my lower back. She is so precious. She smiles and smiles and smiles. We had our first really high fever this week. It got up to 104.5 and needless to say I was beside myself but she was still smiling. She is better now and went back to school to catch up on her art projects.
Last night she was a little fussy in her crib so I went in to see what the problem was and staring back at me was this baby that was standing in her crib holding onto the railing. I could not believe my eyes. I ran outside to tell Mike how big his girl is getting. She has been swimming a lot this summer and sure loves it. I even got her a pool of her own. She has only been able to swim in it once because of her fever. I am sure that this weekend she will be back at it.

Lily almost 7 months!

Nu Nus is almost 7 months old. I just can not believe how fast this is going by. Our first 2 teeth are almost completely in and believe me she can bite--- OUCH! She is still trying her hardest to crawl. It is so funny to watch her it is almost like she is revving up to take off. She is moving forward rather than backwards now. So that is for sure progress. Everyday is so much fun with her. Just her smile first thing in the morning is enough to make you get out of bed and be ready for whatever the day has instore for you.

Tomorrow is Father Day. A bittersweet day for me. It is my first without my father and it is Mike's first as a father. He is truly doing a wonderful job. He loves this baby more than anything in the world. We are going to take him to his favorite place for breakfast and then after that-- who knows. It will be up to the little one as to what she is in the "mood" to do. As for now I don't have much else to say. I will post Father's Day pics soon. Besos, McCalle

our little girl is growing up

Here are a few pics of Lily. Eating her cheerios and trying her best to get up and run away.

Lily's weekend with Aunt Leslie

Look at this little princess in her burnt orange that is too tight. Sorry baby girl, I should have put that one on you before now.
Look who came to town to get down with me. Leslie and Lily had an entire weekend of playing around.
I am working on becoming a star already. Do you think these are too big?
Yes, as you can guess this little one has 2 teeth in the bottom and is chewing on everything in site. At least Aunt Lou let her borrow her finger for the weekend.
awww

Lily has been doing a lot lately. I think she thinks she is one of the adults. She goes to the pool and swims with everyone and just wants to be around people. She does not want to go down for a nap for fear that she might miss out on the action.

She has 2 little teeth that have come in and to tell you the truth it makes me a little sad. This means she is getting older and no longer a little baby. She almost has the the crawling down. There is one slight problem though, she goes the wrong way. She can get around the room in a hurry but backwards. McF
