Getting the Hang of It

Lily seemed to loosen up a bit and enjoy her big bathtub swim with her daddy. [November 14, 2006]

Lily's First Pool Swim...

Lily was refusing to remove her thumb! We think she was a bit anxious about this big bathtub and that she was repeating to herself, "Something familiar. Something familiar."

Heading Down for a Swim

Lily and her daddy headed down for a swim. This adorable little track suit was a gift from one of mommy's work friends. [November 14, 2006]

Swimsuit Model

Need I say more?!? [November 14, 2006]

Getting Ready

Lily getting ready to head out to dinner. If she could only get this bow clipped in! [November 14, 2006]

This is the Life!

Lily really enjoyed haning out in the plush bathrooms with his and her sinks : ) [November 14, 2006]

Time Change Adjustment

With the 3 hour time difference, the nap schedule was a bit sporatic. Lily finally took a 3 hour super nap to catch up. Here she just woke up, looking a bit disoriented and dishelved : ) [November 13, 2006]

Room With a View

We had a great view overlooking the Bellaggio fountain and the Paris hotel across the street. Lily loved looking out the window at all of the lights! Also included is a great photo Corey took of the fountains. [November 13, 2006]

What Happens in Vegas...

Stays in Vegas : )
Lily, with parents and nanny in tow, went to Las Vegas November 11-15. It was a long flight, but she did awesome! We stayed at the Bellaggio for her mommy's work. Here we are in the Bellaggio conservatory. There were big topiary mallards, hanging blown glass leavves, and a paddle wheel. [November 12, 2006]

First Passport

Lily has applied for her first passport. This is a great mug shot of our little Cutie! [November 6, 2006].

Jackie and Lily Snuggle

Lily really loves her Jackie-Cat, and Jackie loves Lily...when she's sleeping! As seen here, Jackie snuggled right up! When Lily is awake, her kitty pets always seem to end with a fist full of Jackie's hair : ) [November 6, 2006]

First Tooth!

Lily's first tooth was spotted November 5. She seems to be taking it like a champ! No fevers or crankiness...just a bit more drool. [November 5, 2006]

Still Enjoying Baby Food

We just rolled out the high chair...which I didn't use for some reason!!! Here Lily is enjoying sweet potato and prunes. [November 5, 2006]

Half Way to a Year!!!

Yikes! Where has the time gone?!? Our little peanut is 6 months old today!!!

She has changed so much over the past 6 months. She is sitting up on her own, standing up while holding onto something, taking little walking steps while we hold her hands, she says something that sounds a lot like 'dadda' (although I'm sure she is meaning to say 'mama'), and she even has her first tooth poking through! It is amazing. We can't get over how smart, sweet, fun, and easy-going she is.

We love her to pieces! She is truly the best thing in our lives.

Happy 6 months Lily Bug!

The Many Faces of Lily Bug

What a cutie![October 29, 2006]

Tired Wings

Hey a young Lilybug can only fly on her own for so long. Here she takes a little break from fluttering around and hops on her Daddy for a lift.

The Family

Lilybug and her first Halloween.
[October 29, 2006].

Halloween Parade...

Our little lady bug, Lily Bug, joined her little buddies Abby and Molly for their neigborhood Halloween Parade. She started off a little less than enthused, but really enjoyed getting to see all of the other kids in costume, especially Abby the Butterfly, who was also having a good ol' time : ) [October 29, 2006]

'Doll Face'

This is a nickname her grandma gave her. I thought that she really does look like a doll in this photo. She is actually "sleeping it off" at the wine dinner : ) [October 22, 2006]

Lily's First Jazz and Wine Dinner

Lily showed Grandma and Grandpa a good time at a Caffe Gelato Wine Dinner. Bed time ran a little a late, to the dismay of her parents, as Lily took it all in. She eventually collapsed onto her mother's lap where she slept unnoticed the rest of the evening. The rest of us enjoyed some great wine and filet mignon with truffle butter. Yummmm... [October 22, 2006]

Snuggling

One of the tough jobs Grandma's just have to do! [October 21, 2006]

Grandma and Grandpa Angst's Visit

These two look like a team of trouble!
Lily was thrilled to have the opportunity to spend the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Angst. They enjoyed a lot of snuggling, naps, walks in the park and playtime. Grandma actually taught Lily to leap up from her changing table to say "Surprise" to the baby in the mirror! Let the de-programming begin : ) [October 20-23].

Our Little Work-Aholic

Focus Mary Ellen, focus!!! We are never going to finish the .Net release if you don't give me some time to write the code! [October 17, 2006].

Jon and Chrissy Visit

Jon and his girlfriend Chrissy paid us a visit for the weekend. We all loved her! Especially Lily : ) We dined at Harry's Seafood for dinner and enjoyed a nice hike. And sadly, witnessed MSU take a beating from Ohio State (Chrissy's alma mater). [October 13-15]

Packing for Boston

Packing up for Boston...she nearly forgot Quackers!

Our little 'road warrior' went from the Berkshires to Boston for a couple of nights, then spent last night in New York City. She is now in her own crib. Literally : ) [October 12, 2006]
