July to August 2010

Lily will be a big sister in April 2011. She doesn't quite get it yet, but she'll be a great big sister.

We adopted a friend for Daisy. His name is Duke. He's a 5 pound Chihuahua. They get along pretty well, they are both pretty competitive for toys and food though.

Cool baby.

I was a little scared on this bus ride.

I was digging my nails into mommy on the balloon ride. I finally had fun looking for daddy everytime we went around.

I went on the "choo choo train" with Mommy and Daddy at Knott's.

We went to Knott's Berry Farm for Daddy's company picnic again this year. It was hot!! I'd hate to be the guy in snoopy.

I love phones...so much that I'll climb on the counter to get them.

Irvine Park/Zoo 2010

Mommy and I went with Aunt Keri and Gwen to Irvine Regional Park where there is the Orange County Zoo.

I love my cousin.

Aunt Keri showed me the bears. There is one behind us in the back. We were looking at another one sleeping in the shade.

There I am in front of the Donkey's butt.

There was a vulture in the tree fanning out its wings and an eagle on the ground.

I brushed the goats. I didn't want to at first.

My cousin Gwen loved the goats...so I went in to see them again. All by myself this time.

How cute are we? (Lily left, Gwen right)

Getting into things 2010

What a mess I like to make. Empty out things and get inside them....that's what I like best! First it was my toybox....then the shoe basket.

"Cheese"...there is nothing wrong with what I'm doing at all...

June 2010

Mommy is out from school and we are having fun.

I love my little pool.

I could play in this for hours.

Here we are at a water park for a friend's birthday...and Lily was clinging for dear life.

She was not liking the splashing water.

But she did love eating chips with this little boy....we're in trouble if she likes boys already.

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.
