Visiting T town

One of our favorite things is to go down and visit T town and to spend the night at Devon and Dan's house. We have had a chance to do this a few times, but not enough. This past weekend visited with our friends Sarah and Jeremy- as they were visiting from LA. What fun!

Pre-Halloween Weekend

This weekend was a busy "pre" Halloween Weekend. Lilly was on the move at parties. Very fun. Lilly is a rainbow colored catipilliar you can see her below with her friend Skylee(just 10 days younger than Lilly.

We then were able to see many of our friends that were born in August- Kian, Elliott, Ella and Nate. In that order. . . we feel so lucky to have so many friends our age!

The other big news is that she is starting to understand "mama" and "dada". We get very excited at the thought that she really does know who we are! Also, she is officially "scooting" around the room. She gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth- and then she "scoots backwards".

7 month videos!

Lilly is growing so fast- here are some recent escapades in learning to crawl and her most favorite activity- eating!

7 months old!

Lilly turned 7 months old today! Yes it is a big day. We thought we should document some of her milestones. . .

1.Eats solids- and likes it all. She gets angry if we feed her too slow. This gal loves her food!

2. Two teeth- they started popping out at around 6 months.

3. All 4s- She can now push up on all 4s and rock back and forth, crawling will come soon.

4. Sits up

5. Chats constantly- and is starting to mimic what we are saying.

6. Loves other kids- she starts waving her arms, panting and smiling around other kids.

7. Plays the moroca- it must be from her music lessons! (hehehe!)

Nate & Ella

This weekend we had a chance to visit our new friends Nate and Ella Herman! The twins! (Oh yes we had a chance to visit with "super" mom Karin. We discovered that Lilly- while she is 5 months older is three times the weight of Ella! Whew! Oh it was so fun trying to take pictures of these little guys.

Lilly just loved checking out all the other little babies. Especially cute boyfriends!

Little Pumpkin

Lilly had her first pumpkin patch experience this weekend, and loved the farm & everything that went with it. Thanks Corey & Heidi for organizing and the delicious soup after!

Summer's Last Hike

As summer was giving it's last hurrah, Lilly was clamoring to get one last day on the trail! We headed to Snoqualmie Pass this past Sunday and hiked to Snow Lake in beautiful, sunny warm weather. We tried the backpack for the first time, and it was a success! What a wonderful summer season we had with Lilly; we do feel we got her introduced her to the great outdoors!
