Our dear little daughter is on the move and quickly. Crazy thing is, she isn't even crawling yet. It has been unbelievable to watch her get stronger and stronger each day. I find myself having to keep track of her constantly because once she starts rolling, she doesn't stop until she is stuck or at a wall. For those of you who know our apartment layout, the other morning we put her down in the middle of the living room and she managed to roll all the way over to the front door where Rocky was snoozing.
She follows Rocky and the kitties around practically all day. Rocky is especially fun because he is so big and fluffy. She loves to watch him and giggles with delight at all of his antics. I find that she has absolutely NO fear when it comes to Rocky's size and that the concept of getting stepped on is completely lost on her. Oh My!
When not rolling across the floor she is snuggling with mom and dad, eating, banging on things and just talking up a storm. She has also started to find a strength that she didn't know she had. The other day Bob and I were just moseying around the house and we came into the living room to find that she had folded up her play mat on top of her.
She was like a little toy taco. It is a good thing that it is fairly padded and soft. Of course, once she got into the predicament there was no getting out of it without Mom and Dad's help so the fussing began!
She is getting better with her sippy cup and more exploratory with foods. Green beans were a big hit, but let me tell you, avocados were NOT. She cannot stand them. Every spoonful that I put into her mouth gets pushed into a cheek and not swallowed until she gets all filled up and spits it back. You can just see the look on her face of "Oh Mom, that is nasty and I refuse to swallow it." Oh well, we will keep trying. Bob and I love avocados so she better get it in gear!
Our Memorial Day Weekend was great mostly because we got to spend it as a family. It was especially nice to have Bob off on Monday.
After a wonderful 4 mile run in the park we headed to the grocery store. The Food Lion has these cute little push baskets and Lily fits just perfectly in the corner. She loves to help me shop by licking and holding everything that goes in the basket. As the top starts to fill up it becomes a game of "Where's the Baby?"
She is so adorable, right? It works great because as stuff piles up in the basket, she stays stable so that we don't have another bonking her head incident.
We are busily trying to get ourselves ready to head to Illinois for another wedding. We are so excited because it will be the first time that Lily will get to meet Bob's Grandparents.
This is their first great granddaughter and they cannot wait to meet her. Since they live on the Mississippi River we are going to get to take Lily in the boat and teach her all about fishing! Should be a wonderful time. Hard to believe that she is going to turn 7 months right in the middle of our trip! Wow.
