Lily Turns 1!

Well as most of you know, Lily turned one on Tuesday. Unfortunately she woke up on the morning of her birthday with a 104.5 degree fever. It turned out that Lily had a UTI and it was horrible because they needed to catherize her in the doctors office. She kicked Dr. Margiotti in the face a couple of times and he still couldn't get any urine from her- Just as they were about to attach a urine specimen bag to her she started to pee- which was great. When they did the automatic test she was VERY positive for a UTI.

Needless to say, Lily did NOT have any birthday cake on her birthday. (We were lucky if we could get her to hold down some Tylenol without throwing it up.)

Lily is much better now and tomorrow is her big Sesame Street Birthday Party! We are very excited to share in the joy of her being 1! I'm hoping that she holds out with a good mood and doesn't get too tired, but we'll see how it goes!

I will post pictures from her party on here ASAP!

Love to all!
Amanda- I have enclosed some pictures from Mother's Day- She was sick on Mother's Day- but I made sure to get a picture anyway.

Lily is getting SO BIG!

Hey gang! Sorry there hasn't been anything new to look at in a while- but mom has been after me to get something up on the blog so Chris and I took a couple of video's today for your viewing pleasure! Can you believe she will be 1 in 2 months? WE CAN'T!!!

Lily in the Blizzard of 2010

Hey Gang- so sorry we haven't written in a while- With Lent coming up I'm super busy with getting ready for the choir schedule and everything for church ready. I'm singing two funerals this week as it's also that time of the year- (sad, but true!)

Lily is doing great- crawling a little bit, but only about a foot or so! She's so smart and it always surprises me. She can figure out toys all on her own and she's very responsive to everyone around her- Chris's parents have wanted us to get pictures of Lily on the sled they used when they were kids- so we took her out in the snow earlier this week just to get some pictures with her cousin, Nathan. She wasn't a huge fan of the sled, but we got the picture. We're gearing up for Valentines Day, but we are in the middle of a blizzard now and I think Valentines Day will be a bit different this year considering Chris and I probably won't have any alone time. We'll see...we have orchestra tickets on Saturday night and we may get to sneak in a nice dinner there.

I've started weight watchers again and I'm down 10 pounds my first week! I really have to lose about 50 pounds to be healthy again so I'm working hard with that. It's funny to see Lily wanting whatever I eat now too- she loves potatoes, chicken, Chris's meatballs and pasta. A girl after her mothers heart!

Hope everyone has a nice February and I'll write more closer to Easter.
