A day at DGC

Summer is definately here and what could be better than enjoying it in the sun. So... When Alex invited us for a family outing to the pool at DGC, it was a no-brainer.

We started out our day with a little lunch... Aka...Lily crying until I shared all of my signature pool burger with her. Such a little chubber. :)

Next, we went in the baby pool and Lily met a friend, 1.5 year old Rachel. Lily loved Rachel and just kept watching her. We think she was trying to figure out how Rachel could do all those big girl things. Lily loved the fact that she could stand (holding on) in the baby pool and had a great time splashing. By the time we were getting out, Lily was falling asleep on Alex's shoulder and took a nice nap on her lap. (Rob got a nap, too!)

We hope Lily loves swimming as she gets older and it's so fun to see a little glimpse of what one day might be a favorite activity.

Happy Summer!

Lily's Sitting!!!

Exciting news! Lily is officially sitting up. She's not great at it, but I'm sure she'll be an old pro in no time.

Bonus... She went underwater a bunch today, too.

Such a big girl!

Best. Week. Ever.

This post would not be complete unless I stated the obvious (I clearly get it from my Dad). We are blessed. I can honestly say that this was one of my favorite weeks in my life. Lots of great family time and memories made. A few favorite moments:

• Lily now takes a pacifier= break for Mom
• Lily falling asleep to the white noise of the waves
• The cutest girl on the beach
• Family pictures
• The sloppy smile of Lily's food covered face (and belly, and toes, and hair...)
• Lily now eats table food including fish and a slice of tomato
• Waking up to my husband and little girl snuggling
• Lunch at the pavillion with Rob and Lil (When I was pregnant and struggling, Rob used to always tell me to picture that moment...)
• A date with my fabulous husband
• Walking around Charleston (Getting Lost Dog wine and especially swinging on the porch swings on the pier!)
• The deck at Morgan's Creek
• Nightly games
• Fabulous Friends and Family (Dad, Cyndi, Lewie, Alysia, Carolyn, Joanie and Jeff)
• Joanie and I's encounter with the snake... Not so much ;)

Sad to be back to real life, but glad that real life's so great. :)

Lily's First Beach Adventure

Day 3 of the beach and we're having so much fun! Today was our photo shoot and it was great. We started out with crazy wind, but Mandie got some really cute pics. Lily loves to be outside feeling the sun and listening to the surf. More later...

Lily's 6 month appt.

So crazy! My baby went to her 6 month appt. today (although, actually she's almost 6.5 months old...craziness). Her measurements:

• Weight: 15.12 lbs (25%)
• length: 26.25 (50%)
• head circum: 43 (50%)

So... She is a bitty thing... weight-wise... But is doing great. She's rolling from tummy to back and loves to play with toys on her tummy. She also loves to put her toes in her mouth... Haha. She's getting close to sitting up, loves to stand with help, babbles constantly and has two adorable teeth. She's also eating baby food and even ate pieces of Mac 'n Cheese (homemade by Grammy) this weekend and loved it. We couldn't be luckier. Lily is the sweetest, most fun little girl and we love her to pieces!

We're Going to the Zoo...

GeoTagged, [N42.53378, E83.12063]

Such a great day. Our new fav field trip? The zoo! My little Joey gets toted around in our baby bjorn (love it!!) and gets to meet all the animals. Really, I think the animals are more for me, but after a few hours at the zoo, Lily's always ready for a nap... which these days is a gift. ;) We love going with friends and have had such a great time. Bonus... Lily had such a great nap after the zoo that she happily ate green "beaners" for dinner tonite. Yay!!! That's all for now. :) Thanks for reading!
