Lily and the Ramones

Here's Lily-Ann opening a present from her Uncle Willie (my brother Wilson). She was more interested in the shiny paper than anything else. LOL

Joyous Yule!

Wishing you the brightest of blessings during this holiday season and throughout the new year. This Yuletide has been especially wonderful for us this year, what with our own holiday elf and all. ;) Lily-Ann really does have a way with making things extra bright and full of hope.

Much love to you and yours!

p.s. Sorry for the images being a little fuzzy... photobucket didn't seem to like them the size I uploaded this last time. My bad.

Lily-Ann's First Prose

Today I sat Lily-Ann at the keyboard and let her go to town. Here's what she banged out:

Pretty awesome huh? LOL
Maybe she'll be the next Wordsworth or Dickens. ;)

Lily-Ann is five months old today.

Passing Objects From Hand to Hand

Just a real quick blog entry. :) Lily-Ann is sitting in her high chair watching me type, so this really will have to be fast. She does NOT enjoy time spent with Mommy at the computer. LOL

A very big milestone in the life of a baby is the ability to pass an object from hand to hand. Well... Lily did so about an hour ago. :D Her Poppy (my dad) bought her a couple "chicken shakers on a stick" - which are really, just mini sized maracas that are shaped like eggs on a pole. Anyway, Lily-Ann successfully passed it from her right hand to her left after working at doing so for a few days.

Just thought I'd share a proud mommy moment.

Lily and Taija

Yesterday Lily-Ann and I went to my cousin's wife's baby shower. Their little girl was born on November 20th, they named her Taija-Lynn Arvada. So, of course, I insisted on shooting a whole whack of pictures of the two girls together. I probably should have taken Lily's bib (poor teething baby can't help but drool like crazy these days) off for most of them, but didn't want Taija (pronounced Tay ah) to start fussing so the sooner I could get them set up and get it done the better. LOL It will be nice for the two of them to have someone to play with at family gatherings in the years to come.
