17 months - videos

We are having such a good time with Lilly - and finally got a chance to upload some videos! She is so active - trying on shoes, learning to dress her self, pushing her baby around, etc. Her opinions are really coming out "no no purple shoes mama!" What she has an opinion on her shoe color- or she likes to be in charge!

Some fun summer videos.

our friend caleb

we had a chance to hang out with some of Mommy"s friends from high school at Devon's wedding. Little Caleb flew all the way across the country with his mom - Megan! He is such an easy going sweet boy!

Smarty pants

Lilly is already identifying her colors - for the longest time everything was "blue". School taught her "what is the color of the sky" and she would say "blue", but then everything "what is the color of mommy's hair" "blue". Of course. But now, if you show her a block or the keys on her zylaphone - she can identify most colors! We are so proud of her!

Devon and Dan's Wedding

What a wonderful weekend we had at Devon and Dan's wedding!

Lilly loved that she could hang out with the flower girls - Devon's nieces. She was dancing with them.d to get a quick picture with the bride and groom. .. they were so beautiful.

We were lucky Nanna and Grandpa Einstein had Lilly for the weekend - they brought her to all the festivities, so mom and dad could enjoy everything
Lilly loves to say "cheese" and smile real cheesy. It is so fun to watch her learn these tricks!

O'Claire Camping trip

We had a great time camping at Bumping Lake this year with the O'Claire family. Ed and Margaret even came up for a day. Margaret thought the kids were dirtier than ever- she even took their cloths home to clean them. Great time hanging out with the cousins!

Lilly having fund with "Mommy" in the Lake! Mommy is trying to make Lilly a swimmer too.

Lilly just loves reading with Papa!

And she is now obsessed with"chairs". She points to them and says "chair, chair, chair" and then get cozy with her favorite book.

We got really dirty.

Alaska!

Mom and Dad just left Lilly for 6 days and headed on their 5 year wedding anniversary up to Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska - one of the most beautiful places in the world! Lilly was lucky enough to split the time between both sets of grandparents, and they will not stop talking about how much fun they had with her. We are so grateful to have them so close by, and so willing to help! Lilly talks about them constantly!

Footsie. . .

Playing "footsie" with Kian. I had to steal this picture from Kian's blog- Lilly and Kian are finally realizing that each other exist! It is quite cute watching them.
