Sit Down. Stand Up.

A busy but fun week. So busy in fact that I forgot yesterday was Monday and neglected to post the usual update. Please forgive faithful reader(s).

Lily is doing great. She heads off to the pediatrician this week for her six month check-up. Yes, you read that right, you have been reading this blog for six months now, and oh yes, Lily really is six months old already. She is growing like a weed and getting heavy. We were up in New York for the weekend and we decided to carry for a few blocks to dinner ... let's just say, she is not so light anymore. We will have the official weights and measures for you next week.

New York was quick but much fun. Lily got to see relatives and seemed duly impressed by the big city although she had weekended there before. Cousin Stephanie somehow managed to avoid the camera but others are in photos below. The weekend started off with a bang as the little one figured out how to sit up by herself without toppling over. She can't get to a seated position by herself but if put there she is good to play for a while.

We finished off the weekend with a visit to Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom's house to celebrate Uncle Stan's birthday. Lily seemed impressed that so many candles could fit on one cake.

Last but not least, a mere oneweek after visiting, Lily's golfing Great Bubbie had a hole-in-one on Sunday. A coincidence or is Lily drooling on your good for the golf game? I will be testing out this hypothesis as soon as it gets warm. Regardless, congratulations, what a feat!

Til next week.


Lily sitting up all by herself for the first time.

David Copperfield was not involved here. There were no camera tricks as you can see her from the side in this shot. Now we can just plop her down and she plays with her toys.

A little dinner in New York.

More sitting up and playing.

Sitting up and playing creates a lot of drool.

Where am I??? How does this happen? I need to stop taking so many pictures and go on record that I attend these family weekends. We loved spending time with you guys and can't wait to see you again. It is amazing how much Lily grows and changes each time we see her. Hugs & Kisses - Steph
