Lily experienced her first fire in Mystic. She enjoyed the fireplace as she unwound after a full day as a 5 month old, then crashed in her mom's lap. [October 5, 2006]
Lily loved the whirl pool tub in Mystic, CT at the Steamboat Inn...Quackers kept swimming in circles, making him harder to catch than usual : ) [October 5, 2006]
No not that one. The Cullinary Institute of America! We started the day with a trip to their bakery for some strong coffee and great freshly made pasteries (Lily had some banana in the car on the way). Was very cool. We enjoyed a walk around campus and great views of the Hudson River. [October 5, 2006].
Lily was cracking us up this morning! She was hiding out in the blanket 'bunker', cracking up when she could get our attention. She is 5 months today...unfortunately Pooh didn't make the trip, so the growth comparison photo will have to be late. [October 5, 2006]
Lily started sitting up on her own this week, as pictured below. She eventually topples over, but is doing great! She is pictured here in the Hudson Valley...the start of our leaf peeping vacation : ) [October 4, 2006]
Lily's first visit to daddy's university, the University of Maryland. She loved her ride on Testudo : ) She also had a chat w/ Kermit and took a photo with a terp. [September 29, 2006].
Lily just wrapped up another business trip! This one to Bethesda, MD. Last week she was in New York City. The week before Greensboro, NC! As pictured here with her dad, she enjoys kicking back with all of the cable channels. [September 27, 2006].
OK, this one required the full series of images. Commentary reads - Hmmm...what is this? Sweet potato? Tastes pretty good. Let me get a little more of that! I can hardly contain myself... [September 25, 2006].
Here is our cutie in her purple bibs with a purple mum. She is such a little pip-squeak! Those little pudgy cheeks are on the verge of getting chapped from all of the kissing we are doing on them : ) [September 25, 2006].
Lily joined mommy on a business trip to New York City September 17-21. She loved watching all of the lights and people. We walked all over the city, did some window shopping, and chatted with other moms and babys in Bryant Park. Dad joined up with us later that evening and took Lily on her first ferris wheel ride in Toys R' Us. She was plum tuckered out at the end of it all! [September 19, 2006].
So this is where they get the name for that move! Lily has just found the "Von-Tootsies" (dad named her feet : ) She is quickly becoming proficient at toe sucking. We couldn't be more proud! [September 18, 2006 and September 25, 2006].
Hard to believe our little cutie is 4 months already! She is amazing! At the suggestions of our friends, we are going to take her monthly photo with the same stuffed animal to show how big she is getting. The animal of choice is Winne-the-Pooh. At her 4 month check-up, Lily weighed in at 14.13oz and 25 inches long! [September 5, 2005].
