Punch the Monkey

Lily in action at 5 1/2 weeks.

Favorite People

Abby has been figuring out that our names are not "Daddy" and "Mama" to everyone. She only has one "Grandpa" (the other is "Papa") so I think the "I don't know" is more about not knowing his first name.



Incidentally, when she says "I don't know" she makes a face JUST like Uncle Paul.

More Couch Napping

The belt was her idea. I think it looked pretty good.

Soaking Up Some Sun

Some of our friends were laying out in our yard getting some sun. After getting on her bathing suit and getting loaded up with sunscreen, Abby join them. Of course she got bored within 5 minutes.

Fashionista

Abby has recently developed a very particular fashion sense. Her outlook seems to be "the more, the merrier." She wears t-shirts over dresses or multiple belts or, as in the picture below, overalls and a dress.

Lillian at 1 month

These pictures are from the day Lily turned 1 month old. I (Becca) think she is looking more and more like Dan every day. She is eating well and sleeping fairly well and is very close to growing out of her 0-3 month size clothes.

Baker's Assistant

Fortunately this cake batter was egg-free.

Bathtime

Clearly Lily is not enjoying herself,



but she got over it quickly.

Lily and Daisies

Kangaroo Baby

Giant Balloon

One of the nurses at the hospital gave Abby this balloon.

Miss Farah

Abby and her favorite teacher.

Sisters

"Sand box"

Abby has a sand box, but we are having trouble finding the right kind of sand. In the mean time it has made a great pool...





and a pretty good canvas for chalk drawings.



In the pool pictures Abby is wearing an outfit she picked out herself: a bathing suit bottom (with skirt) and two different shirts.

More Sleeping Lily

Sorry for the bad lighting.

"Widdy"

So far at least, Abby seems to really like her baby sister, "Widdy". (She can't say L's or TH's yet.) Yesterday Abby held Lily in her lap for at least ten minutes, giving her kisses, patting her head and saying "It's ok, Widdy. It's ok."
