Major Changes for our Little Family

Two teeth, swim lessons, sitting up by herself already, and eating all kinds of baby food are just a few of the exciting things we have experienced these last several weeks. We had a great weekend. Weather was sunny, but a little chilly (60 degrees). Saturday, Chad, Stef & Loren came to visit which was very exciting for Lily. We went for lunch, shopped and just hung out. Sunday we went on a 7 mile walk on the Monon trail and then went to some open houses at some condo's (don't ask why). Lily was a fantastic baby all weekend long. What a joy she is.

I can sit all by myself now. For five minutes at a time. Check out my belly hanging over my diaper in this picture.

Yes, I am a happy baby...

Swim lessons are great. No crying, but haven't quite mastered the breast stroke. Not sure who is whiter (mom or Lily)

I love laying on the blankets from my Grandma Norma. I roll all over them and play with my toys.

Lily is changing...

This week the little bug got her first two teeth, a mere 3 days apart. Yes, it made her a little grumpier at night than normal but the teeth are so stinking cute. Both on the bottom. Looks like the top ones aren't far behind.

Lily is also eating baby food now. Vegetables to start and now some fruit. Boy, are those peas messy.

And finally, you can see her learning to sit up below. These were taken last week. Tonight she sat up all by herself for multiple minutes before falling over. What a big girl she is becoming.

I feel bad about her knee hi socks, but... at least she is warm.

Easter Weekend

We had a fantastic Easter weekend. Went to Chicago Friday - Sunday with our good friend Courtney. The food was fantastic and the weather was excellent as well. Ate at some favorites (Ann Sather, Vermillion, etc) and tried a few new places (Yolk was yummy for breakfast, definitely a repeat). Lily got a new "City Stroller" that will be perfect for our trip to Europe next month. Mom and Dad got a few new things during a shopping day as well. Definitely a wonderful and needed three day weekend.
