Queen of the Masquerade Ball

After returning from our vacation in Florida, we got back into the swing of things back home. After a two week break, Lily went back to school and enjoyed getting to see all of her friends.

Thursday night we had dinner with Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom, and Tracy before she and Stan headed back to Colorado.

Friday was a very relaxing day, Lily got to explore all of her Christmas and Hanakuh loot including all of her Little People and Weeble Wobble treehouse. As you will see, she spent lots of time in the ballpit, and we fortunately bought more balls so she is pretty much set and could sit in it for hours, if we let her. The vampire came out in Lily on Friday night. Mom was making dinner, and Lily decided to come up behind her and bite her leg. Hopefully Mom's yelp will deter any further chomps, we suspect it is due to some teething, not acting out but we'll keep you posted. The rest of the weekend was pretty relaxing, just playing with more toys and Lily watched the Skins actually win on Saturday!!

Lily is now sitting at the table in her booster seat, the highchair is in storage. She now runs to her chair when it is time to eat or if she wants a snack. Developmentally, she is saying and identifying "dog," "duck," "da," and "ma" - and I believe she might have tried to say tree tonight although I'm not sure, Mom's wishful thinking. Lily has also begun pinching her fingers together and giving us invisible objects, and when we take the invisible object, she collapses in hysterics.

Enjoy the pics, see you next week!!
