more singing

Lilly will not stop singing. We sing in the car - since Mommy does not have a good stereo and she sings at school. The teachers write down the words because we don't know all the songs. The only problem is that we don't know the toons. Luckily, Lilly is learning them so quickly.

Sing-a-long

Thjs is too cute!

Lilly The Lion

We finally had the magic touch and got Lilly to wear her lion costume on Halloween night. She ran around like a wild child for a good half hour, and even gave some good roars to the audience. We ended up having a very relaxing weekend at Whidbey Island with Kate & Will and Melissa & Todd, who were visiting from Cleveland. The previous weekend we toured a pumpkin patch in Yakima, as we got to visit Nana O and Papa, as well as Uncle Dave, Aunt Kadie, Cece & Jack.

FIrst view of halloween

Lilly's school - the Mount does a parade. She refused to wear the lion costume. Luckily, I got the body on and she was just fine. I think being around other kids dressed up helped. We will post more later. . . .

He other buddies are Stella and Anastasia.

Playtime

As the days are getting shorter and colder, we're figuring out how and where to have playtime. We just joined the Childrens' Museum at Seattle Center and Lilly had a blast. The Metro bus was a favorite (much to Mommy's delight!), and of course the Sesame Street exhibit was a hit (Lilly loves Elmo and Ernie). We still frequent the park quite a bit, as it is so great to live a block from an elementary school; Lilly invited Lucas over a play date this past weekend.

Our little gal

Since this is Lilly's baby journal - I had to document tonight's bed time. Lilly just loves her bed much like her mommy loves her bed and night night. First, she insists on a "bubble bath" - that was thanks to Uncle Matt because Lilly was not enjoying bath time. Matt recommended bubbles! Now we can't do it without bubbles. Then pjs, books and brush teeth. Every night, she comes running to the one doing the dishes - tonight it was me to give her bed time hug! Then she goes back and forth giving us hugs - she is doing such a good job sharing her loves! But tonight she said "Love u" as she was walking to bed. No tears, no complaints, she jumps in bed and snuggles with her "blanky" from Aunt Brooke! She just loves her bed- thank goodness.

Fall day at the beach

It was the most beautiful fall day - we decided to go down to the beach to try our new camera lens. Sometimes we forget how lucky we are to have the beach one mile down the hill!
