catching up-Lily

things I've been up to, or rather WAS up to before the big move:

last pre-move bbq...mmm smores

summer sno-cones at the portland apartment back in summer....which has now moved on from us
being excessively proud of the paddington bear stuffy and book I won in the library's summer reading program drawing. I was ecstatic. people clapped for me when I went to pick it up and it just thrilled me to win.



Bruce's birthday


visiting w/ friends before we moved

moving (supervising from my pooh seat inside the moving truck)



soon we'll even post about life now that we are HERE

hey I'm (way past) 8 months

We're quite behind, but here are some favorite pics of me turning eight months.... back in august pre-move:






I'm a crawling fool, lock my legs when I'm being put down to try to stand, I looove standing and am frustrated I can't walk yet. I have discovered in the last two days trader joes o's and can't believe I've lived without them. I love to love, give slobbery kisses and I've just cut 4 teeth all up top in the middle. they are still coming so I'm STILL keeping mom up alot. that's all. I rock.

P-A-R-T-Y

Had a birthday party for uncle rich daddy and mummi last week




auntie steph made 3 great cakes, but we all had to eat the ice cream one because the power went out and didn't come back on and it would have melted. oh my gosh, it was so yummy though mmm

Grammie time

Grammie came to visit us at the end of last week. she helped us bmake birthday cards for daddy and uncle rich and mummi. then she watched us while mommy packed and while mommy and daddy went on a date night.
on saturday we went to bug light to see a cruise ship. no not this one...mom and dad saw that on their sailing trip. but we couldn't see it because....
it was hidden behind this giganto one
lucky us: it was go inside the lighthouse day! we love bug light but we've never been inside before!
and of course, pictures at bug light, a family favorite

Blueberries

we went blueberry picking last week!
mom was amazed with our attention span for picking...and snacking :)



mummi came with us!


and great grammie







I'm free from the ergo: this is FUN
mmmm I think I'll try some




progress was slow with the small ones...wonder why....
