Easter Egg Hunt

The rain didn't stop Lilly- we had our first Easter egg hunt, inside style. Lilly loved looking for eggs and finding little treats inside. She's getting quicker with a little motivation!

Easter

Lilly had a wonderful relaxing Easter. She even had a chance to do her first Easter egg hunt. She was quite good at finding the eggs . . . and putting them in the basket. We were impressed.

The Mount

We are so lucky to have found Mount St. Vincents- we call it "school". We had to post these pictures of Lilly's favorite time of day meal time- eating with her friends at school. Recently, we have gotten to know the parents even better. Great people.

Visit down south...

We recently had a chance to visit Portland and Vancouver. Lilly just loves visiting her cousins.

Waiting for our "dada" as he comes in on the train.

Who loves princesses? Cousin Ellie?

I think Lilly is having a really good time riding with Ellie. . . Lilly just loves the park right now.

We also had a chance to visit cousin Cece and Jack (O'Claire), but we forgot to bring the camera out!

First steps

Since this is our baby book, we have to note that Lilly took her first steps on March 29th- a year and 10 days old. We were at Nanna Einstein's house- and she walked to her mama. But, the funniest thing is that she now refuses to walk. We think it is too much risk for our little Lilly. She is so stable and just hates falling down!

One Year Appointment

We cannot believe that Lilly is a year old! We had such a fun time reminiscing about her birth. Thinking "it was only last year." Everyone says the time flies, and they are right.

Lilly is still such a big gal 26.5 oz- 98% and 28.5 inches -28%. Yes chunks of love still has all her rolls. Dr. Kumasaka says not to worry- she will thin once she starts walking/moving more.

I was recently reminded that I need to document her words.
- mama, dada, papa, nanna, Emma,
- ball- she now points out any ball outside or on TV. She loves balls "ball, ball"
- og- her version of dog- she has many dog friends- Elenore, Henry, Kima, Niko, Rita, so many
-ickel, ickle- she tries to tickle her piggies
- animal sounds- she growls for a lion, ooohhhs for a monkey, mmmmm- for the cow, baba- for the sheep, chochoo- train,
-body parts- she knows the basic ones- mouth, teeth, head, hair, ear, knee, etc. but our favorite is when we ask her to blink her eyes- she closes her eyes real tight with a big smile.

We love Lilly's tricks.
