Lily's First Laugh

On Saturday Mom and I were changing Lily and she did a little chortle of a laugh when I bopped her on the nose. After that incident... we couldn't get her to laugh again- Then all of a sudden, I pretended to eat Lily up and she started belly laughing so LONG! We actually caught it on tape. It's been 24 hours now and she STILL HASN'T LAUGHED since this incident.. gotta figure out which buttons to push!

Lily says hello to Aunt Ang

Here is a cute video of Lily talking to Aunt Angela in Korea!

Mommy heads back to work

Well- tomorrow marks a milestone in Lily's life. Tomorrow I head back to work. I have an all day workshop and will be leaving Lily with Chris' Aunt Marion! I'll be gone all day! What was my life like before Lily came into it? I can't even remember anymore... Well here is a picture of her Mommy and her- (my hair is curly now....) Any words of advice on how to cope with going back to work and leaving your baby at home?

Lily has a cold-

Lily has her first cold and it's killing me. I took her to the doctor this morning and the doctor said she has a viral cold and that there isn't really anything they can do unless it goes into an ear infection. BUT... I did the right thing bringing her into the doctor because she's still so young that you should always have their lungs checked when they have a cold.

She's running a slight fever and just acting miserable, which I totally understand because she can't really breath well through her nose. I've been spoiling her and letting her take her naps in her swing, which she loves to do- I don't like her to sleep in her swing because I don't want her to get into the routine of falling asleep in it. Luckily she falls asleep on her own in her crib at night.

Anyway- everyone says this is a milestone-the baby having their first cold....It breaks Mommy and Daddy's hearts...:-(

Lily at the Shore

Hey Gang!

I've been meaning to write a blog with some pictures from when Lily was at the shore, but I haven't gotten around to it. We had a great time at the shore in a house that mom and Skip rented. Lily was only 2 months at the time and she really couldn't be down at the beach for TOO long because of her age. When she was on the beach though she did great. There was one episode where she had a huge DUMP and mom had to change her on a beach chair though- classic Lily...

Lily got to feel the ocean for the first time and she really did great. She didn't like how cold it was and kept lifting her legs and shrieking when we would try to put her feet in. It was too cute... Here are some cute pictures. Her bathing suit was purchased by Aunt Angela and boy did she look cute in it!

Lily's Baptism! 8-16-09

Today Lily was baptized! It was a beautiful ceremony led my Fr. Quan and Lily actually held up very well. We worried she would get fussy, but we fed her right before and she did great! We have a short video of the actual baptism, and a couple of pictures as well! Hopefully Nona will share her pictures with us, because ours didn't come out so hot.. Lily is now officially cleansed of her original sin and does not have Satan in her as Fr. Quan performed an exorcism as well... *who would have guessed that all goes down at a baptism?*

Lily's Photo Shoot

Hey Everyone!

So today the photographer came and showed me the pictures of Lily's photo shoot from a couple of weeks ago. Every single picture they took of her is practically adorable. I wound up ordering a photo package that was none to cheap, but it comes with a CD with all of the pictures on it so that we can print them ourselves if we want to. I'm so excited to get them in the mail in the next couple of weeks. *Hint, Hint* I have a feeling that many of you are going to be getting framed pictures of little Lily for Christmas this year! OH JOY!!!!

Aunt Angela

Aunt Angela is leaving for South Korea tomorrow and Lily is kinda sad about it..:-(

Here is a picture of the two of them at Aunt Angela's going away dinner!

Swing-

So we broke down and got Lily an extravagant swing.We couldn't get the Rainforest one that Aunt Nancy had at her house for us to use- we got the Fisher Price Cradle n' Swing stargazer. So ridiculous... I'll attach a picture so you can see how crazy this thing is- but it's so worth it because Lily absolutely ADORES this thing! Chris says it's the "I Dream of Genie" Swing....

Lily in Denver

Family & Friends~

Lily just got home from her first trip to Denver. While there she got to see her Great Grandpa Gregory, Aunt Nancy, Uncle Paul, Dominick, Arianne & Adam, and Aunt Debbi and Uncle Jerry- We all had a great vacation and are so thankful that Aunt Nancy and Uncle Paul put us up in their now empty nest.

Check out our pictures from our trip!
