5 months old

Lillian is 5 months old!





She no longer resembles a newborn at all. She is long enough to wear 9- and 12-month size clothing. She wants to sit up and wiggles and spins on the floor to get to her toys. She tries to grab everything within reach, including food. We haven't started her on solid foods save a few pieces of puffed cereal for her to play with on her tray. She continues to be very sweet, smiling at everyone and crying only when she is very tired. She is beginning to show a preference for Becca over everyone else, but she is laid back enough not to demand her all the time.

Bait and Switch?

Who put that there?

Abby-isms

There have been a bunch of great Abby quotes lately:

Abby: "Mama, you are very not tall enough."

Daddy: "We're going to Grandma and Grandpa's house for Christmas!"
Abby: "Not now Daddy, I'm too tired"

Abby: "Daddy, remember, you love me!"

Abby (wearing a Drake's Island shirt): "Look, my shirt has a duck on it! That's so silly, ducks live in ponds, not shirts!"

New Toys

Now that Lily can sit in her high chair she can use a whole new set of toys, including this one.

Back to School

Abby has been back at school for a couple weeks now, but we just got our camera back.

Exhausted

July - August 2010

Our trip to the states was wonderful, but exhausting.

Trains

August 2010

Abby and cousin Juliet went on a lot of train rides this summer. Even though she was incredibly serious the entire time, Juliet was much more excited about the trains than Abby was. Here are a few:

Playground
