October 2006

Hello to my family and friends,

Whew!  October is flying by and these parents of mine are keeping me very busy.  No rest for us!

I have had a lot of firsts this October...apple picking, hay ride, pumpkin patch, Topsfield Fair, Halloween parties and costumes, big girl car seat (which I HATE) and the best thing of all.....I HAVE LEARNED HOW TO CRAWL!!!!!  How exciting!  Now, Mommy and Daddy can't let me out of their sight for two minutes!

I am doing really well.  I love spending Tuesdays with Grammy-girl and I am enjoying day care on Wednesdays and Thursdays.  My day care provider's name is Thaya, and she loves me so much!

Well, I hope you enjoy my pictures....Daddy uploaded over 100 of them for Mommy this morning.  He was saying something about her having a picture problem...I don't know what he is talking about!

Hope to see you soon!

Love, Lily  ♥

Pre-Halloween Pictures

Cheryl and I got the babies' pictures taken in their Halloween costumes.  They are so cute and were very busy during the pictures.  Cheryl and I worked up a sweat!  Enjoy and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

9 month pictures.

Lily had her 9 Month pictures taken today (yes, she is really 9 months old!!!). 

Family Pictures at the Beach

A friend of mine from work had a free package with a photographer that was going to expire, so she gave it to us ( THANKS KAY)  :)

So last Sunday, we went up to North Beach in Hampton, N.H. to have him shoot some pictures of the kids.  I thought it was going to be easy, and NEVER realized how difficult it is to get three children to smile all at the same time.  The older 2 children were VERY concerned with their baby sister and the baby sister was SO excited about the sand!!!!  We chose picture #2 which was taken at a garden across the street from the beach and picture #7. 

Last one for today

Joe downloaded almost 200 pictures for me...and these are the last ones...

As you can see, Lily brings us much joy.  She loves her big brother and sister, and they adore her.  We hope that as we enter the holiday season, we can get Lily together with many friends and family...she is such a happy, fun baby and she loves being with people. 

More Lily

It is amazing to me how many pictures I can accumulate on my camera in a month...My photo budget is a little bit out of control...

A few fun facts about Lily

* She will be moving out of her infant carrier soon and into her big girl car seat!

* She has 3 teeth!  OUCH!

* We had to move the mattress down in her crib because she likes to pull on her mobile...oh yes, she is tricky!

* She likes to babble and "talk"

READING!!!

Everyone tells me, be sure to read to your baby....Of course I know that...I was a first grade teacher for a long time.  I understand how important it is....

Yeah, right.  You try to read to a squirmy 8 month old.  We have a book case of beautiful books for Lily in her room, just waiting for Lily to love books the way that Mommy and Daddy do. 

Does she like to read?  You be the judge....

Sassy girl

Lily is doing so well...We went to our visit at St. Elizabeth's last month and they were thrilled with her progress.  She is eating lots of different foods, including some table foods.  She is getting around...not quite crawling, but she is definately mobile.
