Update on our Lives

We have been SO busy lately! First we will do an update on Lily: She turned 11 months this weekend. 11 months!! I can't believe it! It's less than a month away until her birthday. I know it's cliche to say that it's going by so fast, but it is! And I always like to quote one of my favorite movies and say, "Things become cliches because they're true." So again, she is getting so big and it is going by so fast!

  • She has finally learned how to scoot/crawl forwards instead of backwards :) She follows me around while I'm cleaning and things, sometimes whining and crying at me because she wants to be picked up. Eventually she will learn that I can't carry her around all the time right?
  • She is still just under 20 pounds, not sure how tall she is, but she sure is getting bigger. Caleb and I were commenting just the other day on how she's starting to look more like a toddler than a baby.
  • She only has one tooth. The second one is so close to poking through. You can see the tooth, that's how thin the gums are that are covering it. Hopefully it will pop through soon!
  • She is down to one bottle a day and I have a feeling it's on the way out as well. She is also transitioning over from formula in her sippy cups to milk.
  • She loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, peas, and raspberries. As well as anything sweet, but we try not to give her too much of that.
  • She loves books, and still has to sleep with Ginny her giraffe. She has also liked playing with balls lately. Surprisingly she also likes the grass. She loves being outside and rubbing her arms and legs all over in the grass. Silly girl.

We love this sweet girl more and more everyday and are so glad she's part of our little family!

I pulled out some baby pictures of Caleb and I to do a little comparison between us and her. The older she gets the more I see Caleb in her as well as me.


The left one is Lily and the right one is me.

One thing is for sure she got Caleb's hair! I didn't have much. The question is: does she look more like me or like Caleb?

Also I have to show everyone her new "big girl jammies" that she was so excited about.


Also notice Caleb and done her hair in a mohawk after her bath.


But the biggest news and update is that we are getting a house! We are so excited to own our own place. We still have to have all of the inspections done and all of those things, but we have picked a house and are excited to finish the process. It's a very nice place for a good price and was only on the market for two days when we put in an offer, and we still had to compete with another couple for the house! We will keep everyone updated!

One last picture of Lily before I end this post!



Just because she's cute :)

Until next time!
