March 25th, Lily wearing her new kicks! Guess it is time to start putting shoes on her if she is going to be walking around!!











March 23rd, Lily is saying, "Daddy feed me!!"

Another afternoon with Great Aunt Autumn!

March 21st, Lily on the swing for the first time. She loves it! Daddy had the day off, and we went to the park! Can't wait for warm weather, and lots of park days! Also, today she did so well holding her own sippy cup !

Lily ready for bed, holding her own bottle. Such a big girl!

March 20th, Lily hanging with her Great Aunt Autumn! They had such a fun time together! We are very excited, Autumn is going to have her first grand baby girl this May! She can't wait to spoil her! And thanks for the super cute outfit, the one Lily is wearing plus another one for this summer!

Lily and Mr. Bear on March 19th, she is just over 8 months! She is now having fun with Mr. Bear!

March 6th, standing up like a big girl!
At mom's group on the 8th, Lily weighed 18lbs, 12oz.
On the 11th, she weighed 18lbs, 2oz at the doctor.
I guess clothes really do make a difference :)

March 4th, look at my cute "Fly Girl" bib, thanks Auntie Leslie and Uncle Tiger!

Our last day in the sunshine, March 2nd, Lily and mama enjoyed a day at the pool. I hope that she becomes a little water baby like I was. We need to find a pool in Chicago!








































































Before pool time, Sami was busy watching over Lily. What a good guard dog! So protective!

One for the record book, Grandpa feeding Lily breakfast!
March 2, 2011, I think today was rice cereal and bananas.
One of her favorites! Great job Grandpa!

Lily loves her new fabric book. (fun to read and chew on)
Thanks Auntie Leslie for making it for me!!

Enjoying a Sunday afternoon with Grandma and Grandpa. Loving the sunshine! Feb. 27, 2011







































What a beautiful view!!

















Met Kim, Tom and Myles for a day of shopping at the outlets. Myles turns one in March. He is Lily's new boyfriend. The only problem is that Myles can walk, and Lily can't. I am sure soon enough she will be chasing him down!! (Another UCSB/sorority sister roomie)

My old "UCSB Del Playa" roomies came over for a play date. Kim with Ava, 2 in April, and Lauren with Jack, 2 in August. These women are also my "Cookie Weekend" partners in crime. Things sure have changed, huh ladies?! Love these girls!! Looking forward to many more play dates in the years to come!







































This is my girlfriend Charlene, (also from UCSB) and 2 of her beautiful girls and her mother-in-law. We all had such a great time playing!

Thanks ladies for making the drive out!
