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.
















August 2011

Lillian has starting beaming her beautiful smile at us. Now that her baby fat is going away, she has become a beautiful "big girl"! She loved wearing this house around all day!
Lillian and Kobi are best friends. Notice how she's scratching his chin? He is so good with her. Her doting big brother.



I ordered something that came in a large box but instead of throwing out the box, we decided to make a house! Dad cut the windows and Lilly supplied the ambiance.








July 2011

If you look closely, you can see what Lillian is looking at... she loves watching the world through her window.
She saw Winnie the Pooh at the Disney store and the first thing she did was give him a big hug, rock him back and forth, then she laid her head down on him. I "had" to buy him for her.



Lillian decided she wanted to help mom put the new desk together... she wasn't the most helpful person I could have had on my team, but she sure is cute!





Lillian discovered our coffee table makes a pretty fun crawl space. Dad was able to catch her triumphant exit from the opposite side on camera.




















June 2011-Older Pictures

We got to hang out with the Green's! This is me and Jamille with our daughters, Lilly Lee and Gracie Green. Gracie is waving. :-)

Lillian could barely hold herself up in June and she was so proud of herself!



Lillian outside in our friends backyard... ready for summer!







My apologies for not updating this more frequently. I hope all of these pictures will help make up for it.
