Hello all! Lily is down for her morning nap so I figured I'd take the time to update you on our week. Lily is growing up so fast! This week she started accepting a sippy cup. So far we've just added water, but she'll soon advance to her juices!


On Monday, Connie & Cora, Lily & I went to get photos done as this week Lily turns 8 months and Cora turns 4 months so this will be the only time that Lily is twice Cora's age. It's also great Easter photo time! Here is Lily playing hide and seek with the dresses we're trying on her.
We started Lily on 'real food' this week! Our plan is to make her food in lieu of store bought goods. Here is Mike making her fresh green beans.




The green beans went well at the beginning. No real fuss just curiosity.





The great thing with Lily is that she lets us know when she is done :-)

This week was Lily's first swim lesson. They're Wednesday mornings so sometimes Mike will be able to come out with us. Mike took the first lesson as I was the official photographer. There are seven kids in total in the class all under four years old.

Here's Lily's first dunk!







Cora is getting big! She can now sit in the Bumbo chair by herself and is quite amused to sit and watch her brother Whalen cater to her.




My good friend Michelle is due at the end of July but will be delivering the first week of July.


Whalen likes playing bubbles with Lily. She sits there while she blows the bubbles and she giggles!


Nana's new 'toy' Whalen can only send the plane in one direction using the arm controls so he tends to go in circles! Whalen had a sleepover here last night and another one tonight. Lily loves playing with Whalen!

Thursday 3 p.m.


Thursday 5 p.m.



The hair- in -the- ponytail look was beginning to drive me crazy! Sure it was great hair but all it was was hair and no style. I'm loving my curls!
