Me and Daddy

Happy Father's Day Daddy! Lilly is holding Kyle's father's day card waiting very patiently to give it to him! We had a great day with a few very light showers butwe didn't let it ruin our picnic, Lilly LOVED the umbrella.  She was very fascinated by it, Vancouver is in her heart! 

We have been meeting Kyle for lunch at a nearby park, enjoying the sun and the swings. It's a great for kyle to get in some extra Lilly time since he has been working very hard and gone most evenings. Lilly loves to kiss daddy, it's full on slobber but we love it. She kisses with such passion, hey? maybe she is destined for the movies! 
Lilly driving the boat.  We have been able to get up north a couple times to the cabin and The Lilster just loves the outdoors. She is miss Independence grabbing that steering wheel.  It has been a great summer so far.  We are enjoying the hot weather and seeing family.  Big news for Lilly, she slept the whole night in the crib last night. As many of you know this has been tough for us so we are praying it is not just a fluke and it happens again tonight. no more swing! 

Lilly is 8 months old!

My First Mother's Day was great. Kyle didn't let me change any diapers and we took a walk around the lake and enjoyed some ice cream cones.  I wish Mother's day was every month! 

Lilly is a very skilled jumper, she spends time everyday jumping, jumping, jumping, never tiring. Actually she did fall asleep once, head slumped to the side and legs still jumping. She does love to please a crowd, she jumps higher and smiles bigger when we cheer her on. 
Lilly has been enjoying the swing at the park! She is an outdoors kinda girl, loving walks and the wind in her hair. She squeals and laughs whenever a gust of wind blows. Since I'm not working this summer, we spend our time playing and doing all the shopping for the family. As you can see Lilly is just as in love with Target as I am! She absolutely loves to go to the store.  She is such a charmer smiling at everyone we pass, more than once people have told me she should be a baby model. I think she knows how cute she is, lately she tilts her head just a bit to the side and smiles big. what a cutie!

We have a crawler! Check out the video below. She started a couple weeks ago and she is progressing too fast for me. She is already trying to get up steps. yikes. Baby proofing the new digs happened fast after a few initial spills.  She is a little independent peanut trying to stand all by herself. I'm afraid she'll be walking soon.  People always tell me, mostly in grocery store lines, that it goes by so fast and it has. Eight months have flown by and this precious little girl has made our lives richer than we could have ever imagined.
