Ham and Cheese 2010

This is our little ham.

Everytime she sees a camera...she starts saying "cheese".

She thinks the camera is called "cheese".

Are these the school pictures we look forward to...

She's even a ham in her skinnies with her jewelry...

May 2010

Mommy and Lily went to a Memorial Day BBQ with Mommy's friends. Lily went swimming with Auntie Erica and Auntie Maricel (not pictured). Lily likes her turtle floatie and "simming" as she says.

Lily wanted a "bite" of Mommy's hamburger and wanted to hold it all by herself...she ended up eating the whole thing. Mommy is so nice to share.

We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach Memorial Day Weekend.

The "froggie seeping" as Lily says.

Lily loved looking at the fish, but wouldn't touch the sting rays or starfish. She found a few "nemos".

She kept calling the otters and seals "doggies" and of course we had an encounter with an attempt at procreation. The seals decided to mate....luckily Lily doesn't know anything about that.

Lily got to pick out something from the gift shop, a seahorse, but she calls is a "horsie". What a great family outing.

April-May 2010

Lily loves the playground. She loves the slide, swings, and the horsie the best!

We try to go to the park every weekend. We just bought a bike trailer so Bo and I can ride our beach cruisers and pull Lily in the trailer behind.

You don't have to tell me I'm cute...I know.

Lily likes playing in the backyard on her little playplace. She likes the playhouse part. Mommy isn't allowed in. "No" and she shuts the door on mommy.

Lily wants to be grown up and play with grown up things. She likes wearing our shoes and walking around. She gets into whatever cupboard is around and makes a lovely mess. She especially loves to play with the laptop...so I can only do this when she naps.

She likes to push her baby dolls around the house in the stroller. She likes it so much that whenever we go to the mall we take it and that's how we get her to walk instead of us holding her.

April 2010

Easter Morning Lily ate her breakfast, endured a few pictures in her dress, and then discovered how to hunt for eggs, with help from the dog Daisy. Daisy would run by each of them with Lily not far behind. Lily figured out that she needed to put them in her basket. She was so dependent on Daisy finding them that she was just following the dog around the backyard. Daisy was a good leader in the hunting. Lily loved to find out what was inside the eggs...she found some of her favorite goodies, goldfish, yogos, fruit snacks, m&ms, and lucky charms. Mommy is on Spring Break from work so we are having a lot of mommy and me time. We go to the park, have wagon rides on the block, and watch Yo Gabba Gabba and the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Lily now runs to the playground when she sees it.

March 2010

We went to Tom's Farms off of the 15 freeway one hot March day. Lily wasn't too fond of the aggressive animals in the petting zoo. She didn't touch any of them, willingly. We watched the rides and walked around the pond. We bought some fine cheeses and goodies from the market there.

We have now entered the land of tantrums. Lily knows what she wants and if she doesn't get it this is the face we see...she looks like a mad scientist in one picture (just took out pigtails). She is too cute to stay mad at for long like when she plays IN her toybox.

February 2010

We took Lily to Laguna Beach, one of Mommy and Daddy's favorite places to visit, where there are little tide pools. She was a little too wobbly to navigate the slippery rocks so we stayed on the sand. We looked at birds, rocks, and the waves.

We have definitely been blessed this year with family, friends, love and happiness. It has been joy to watch Lily grow. We love every minute and can't wait to see what's next.
