Lily Crawling- Day 4

CHRISTMAS GIFTS!!!!

Christmas with Lily!!! It took her an hour to open her stocking... so we decided we would have to help her with her gifts or we would have been here a week! Uncle Grant gave her the ultimate gift... this fantastic sled... she loves it!!! As you can see from the pictures it was a toss up who enjoyed the first ride more- Grant or Lily! It was a great day!

BUT the best part of Christmas for me was Christmas Eve Lily learned to CRAWL!!!!! I got a picture of it today! She did it once and has got it now. I am laughing... she is now getting into all of these things and going all places that Harper has been for a while. Good thing I had him to train me since she went from stationary to totally mobile in ONE DAY! She seems to be very happy with the fact that she can explore. I finally stopped crying each time she crawled when she had done it about a dozen times. She is now digging though her diaper bag! I have to do some baby proofing today!

Movement

Things have been changing around here lately.... Lily (in the last month) has started sleeping 11 hours at night, figured out how to scoot backwards and spin around (quickly), pull herself forward while sitting, and do the funniest "splits" version of getting from her stomach to sitting. She does all of these things in a very unique way but she is moving! SO I have had to learn what it is like to have a mobile child.... she can get places - like this cabinet! :) She sat here and pulled EVERY thing out from the bottom shelf.

Harper and Lily Together

Wednesdays are "Harper Days" and Lily and I love the time with him. The other day we went to Harper's house. He showed Lily his new sled and crawled in and out and in and out. Lily wanted in that thing so darn bad but could not get in by herself.... Harper kept trying to show her how! So I put her in the sled and oh boy she was excited and Harper was even nice enough to let her sit in it all by herself for a few seconds!

They are so fun together!!!

Christmas Time Is HERE!!!!

We could not go out to the woods to get our tree this year... the roads and weather did not cooperate. So Pat went and purchased a tree from one of the local schools. The tree is soooo beautiful!
Lily sat on the floor and watched us decorate the entire tree and played in a box of ribbons and even tried to open some of the presents!!!!
