One Step at a Time

Tuesday, January 18th, my baby took not 1, but 2 steps!!! BIG SMILE!

More to come...

Nothing matters but your smile

Today was a hard night. Dinner with a crabby girl was a bust... until we got home. We danced and snuggled and she belly laughed as I chased my little crawler around the house. All the frustration faded away and seemed so ridiculous. I know these are moments and memories I'll never forget... My beautiful baby girl... I'll do anything to keep her smiling. :)

2011 and 14 Months

Welcome 2011! It's been a while since I've posted, but we've been blessed with a great year so far!

Christmas was filled with wonder as we celebrated with our little lady. We made cookies with cousins, Megan and Matt, and celebrated in Ohio with the Marrinan clan and Grandad and Cyndi. Lily loved opening presents and especially the beautiful lights.

After Christmas, we headed off to South Carolina, but got to stop off to see the Martins, Shaffers and Zayachowskys on the way. For the first time, Quinn and Lily actually played together! In South Carolina, we got to have a photoshoot with Mandie Joy and try out some new Charleston Hot Spots, including "Baked" in this picture. A great time with family!

Now that everything's settled down, we're back to real life and it couldn't be better! Lily is growing like a weed and loves to play peek-a-boo behind any door. She also loves to play with her kitchen and play food, especially the fork. Speaking of which... She can now eat with a fork on her own! She loves cheese eggs, hot dogs and Teddy Grahams and any kind of cookie.

Lily's cruising, but no walking yet... Just waiting for those first few steps...

We're excited to see what the rest of 2011 brings. :)
