Let's Start Back in 2011

December 2011, I decide to try to get some Christmas shots for our cards that year.  

 

 November 2011 we went to San Antonio for another visit. (Ommie and Buck can't get enough Lilly time!)

October 2011 Lillian was a cow-girl for Halloween!

It's Been a LONG Time!

I realized the last time I posted was when Lillian was a flower girl over 2 years ago! Well guess who gets to be a flower girl again this weekend? Yep, Lillian!

Not only do we have a 3 year old, but our baby boy is already 7 months old! My how time flies when you're having fun sleep deprived!

Our beautiful baby boy is very blonde with very blue eyes! I'll post more later to catch up on the last 2 years.  :-)

Better Late than Never?

Just moments after she walked down the aisle (and directly to dad who was sitting in a front pew) Dad sat her down at the back of the chapel where she proceeded to walk!
Why couldn't she have done that five minutes earlier?
Oh well, better late than never. :-)

Lillian's Big Day

Lillian was a flower girl for the first time! Our friends Dan and Andrea asked Lillian to walk down the aisle sprinkling rose petals for their wedding. I had to remind them that she can't walk very well yet, so they said I could walk with her!
Here she is playing with Andrea's son, Juan Lois just minutes before the wedding started. He was putting rose petals on her dog and she was trying to feed him the rose petals in return. She wasn't the happiest camper that day, but she was all smiles for her moment walking down the aisle.

When she saw I had a camera she came right over and asked me to take several pictures of her.

Beautiful Lillian

I love her!

Lillian's 1st Birthday with Mom & Dad, August 13, 2011

Her first birthday cake was a white chocolate blueberry bundt cake. Chosen because blueberries are currently one of Lillian's favorite foods.
The morning of August 17th, Lillian's birthday. Mom made her a birthday breakfast complete with blueberries, strawberries, scrambled eggs and milk. No, that's not a bottle of mustard.

Dad took pictures while mom measured how tall Doodle was on her birthday. 30.5 inches!!

She got an awesome percussion set for her birthday! It's got the drums (seen here) that were full of egg shakers, an ant wearing bell bottoms with bells on his ankles, centipede drum sticks, butterfly tambourine and a bumblebee rattle.

Lillian watched dad blow up the bounce house the day before.

She wasn't a big fan though... she has a death grip on mom!

A better birthday breakfast picture... she's upside down waving. Her new trick!

Lillian prefers to use a fork for her cake instead of the typical fingers... she's advanced for her age. :-)

Mom helped Lillian open her gifts... here she is looking at a new book called "Olivia" from the series.

Lillian's 1st Birthday, party at GG's house!

My grandma Mina, or "GG" to Lillian, threw Lillian a birthday party on Sunday, August 14th.
Gram, Pops, Aunt Denise, Uncle Curtis, Jeff, Melissa and Tyler all showed up!
GG gave her her own cupcake and a towel and let her make a BIG mess! She even got frosting in her shoes!
Lillian loves Gram... and I'm sure the feeling is mutual. Lillian was being very affectionate, giving Gram lots of hugs and kisses.

Lillian kept touching her forehead to GGs... I think it was her special way of thanking her for throwing her a party.
