Lilly's 1st Bday Photo Shoot

Can't believe our little girl will be 1 in a week! Where did this year go?! We took these pictures on a pretty Sunday afternoon. Ryan is responsible for all the great shots and I'm responsible for getting all the great smiles, of course! It is easy with such a cute subject! Enjoy!

Our Happy Little Girl...

Summertime

Summer is here and we are loving every minute of it! We moved a little over a month ago and we are loving our new house with lots of space. Lilly is growing like a weed and is still long and lean. This age is so much fun! She's lost her "baby" look and is starting to look a lot older. 1o months already...YIKES where does time go? Every day she makes us laugh more and more. We are so lucky to have such a sweet, happy little girl :)

Lilly's new room! Judging by that smile, I think she loves it :)

With her best buddy, Mr. Riley Dog

Lilly's Trip to Seattle and Vancouver

Gosh, time goes by too fast! Lilly is almost 9 months old! Why did 9 months feel like 9 years when I was pregnant with her and then once she was born her first 9 months flew by?! I can't believe how much she has changed and grown. We were at our friends' house yesterday for a BBQ and they had a 6 week old and I had forgotten just how little Lilly once was...

We just moved into a new house so now Lilly has all kinds of room to crawl and explore. She navigated up her first step yesterday from the family room into the kitchen. She is a speedy little girl. She LOVES Riley. She watches his every move and he makes her laugh constantly. Especially when he sneezes. She went to the pool for the first time on Saturday when it opened. She seemed to like it although the water was arctic temps. We'll try again once it warms up a bit.
