Lily's first taste of Meme and Papa's raspberry jam... it was a hit!

Jenna and Lily in matching dresses.... Jenna really wanted Lily to have a matching dress- it will fit Lily next year! The looked like little cupcakes!

Cupcake Sugar High

During our visit to Auntie Sarah and Uncle Grant's house Lily had her first real cupcake with sugar...... oh so funny! (and this was just a baby cupcake)

Where'd you get those cheeks!!??!

Hudson Ekstrom ... and the source of those sweet chubby cheeks.... his mommy!

Sweet, Sweet, Heavenly, Little Grace .
Lily and I stayed Sunday through Friday in Seattle with Sarah, Grant and Grace. It was so great! We felt like we were on vacation in Ballard... up for morning walks to Java Bean, browsing around Ballard with Sarah and Grace, lunch at a Tea Shop, snuggling with Grace, dinner with Frances and so many relaxing afternoons admiring the two sweet girls! Sarah also introduced me to one of the greatest places in Seattle "Cupcake Royale" a cupcake shop!!!! :)
Lily loved playing with her Auntie Sarah and watching her Uncle Grant where ever he went. The longer we were there the more she wanted to touch Grace...and she was gentle with her (much to my relief)!
We already miss the MacLeods... Lily has been trying to say Aunt Sarah since we left!

The newest member of Lily favorites- Barkley the Dog... Auntie Sarah got him for Lily for Valentine's Day.

Lily eating fruit leather... oh what a mess!

Funny child!

Lily in her kitchen. She is always playing with her stuffed animals, kissing them, hiding them in the drawer and the oven, trying to cram them in spaces that are way to small for them... she loves all her little guys!


Lily's new favorite thing is to put objects on her head and crawl around. She crawled around with her blankie on her head for about 30 minutes yesterday. She would cover her face and crawl blindly into the cabinets in the kitchen....she thought it was so funny!
