Around the neck it goes!

Lilly loves to play the piano with grandma Lois. On Sunday she and Madison plunked out a few tunes for us.



Lilly loves to drape things around her neck. She has her pearls that she carries with her all the time.




Lilly also loves when I sew. I give her all the scrapes to play with.






She loves laundry day. She gets so excited when I let her dig through the laundry and again drape things around her next.




And finally Lilly got into my ribbon. She was just laughing as she wrapped the ribbon around her. I love to see how the simple things make her so happy. Thanks Lilly for reminding me of the joys of life!

Walk'n

A small clip of some of Lilly's first steps. In the last couple of days she has improved some much. Now she seems to walk more than she crawls. I have to say, out of all the milestones so far this has been the hardest for me. Sometimes I wish Lilly could just stay little. She definitely is growing up faster than I want her to. I just keep trying to cherish each stage knowing that they don't last long.

Easter Weekend

The girls

Lilly and cousin Madison had so much fun at there Easter photo shoot.

The first of two moves

Our move went pretty well. Lilly loved all the boxes around. She would try to get in and out of them. Lilly was so cute in trying to help me pack but I kept finding my favorite things in the DI box. It was hard for me to say goodbye to my little apartment. Although it was little it was our home and we had so many great memories there. We are now pretty much settled into our new place at Grandma and Grandpa McAffee's. We are now preparing for our big move to Milwaukee!

What is mine is yours

I know I have said this before but I just can't believe how big my little Lilly is getting. This rocking chair that she is sitting in is the same one that I used to play with as a child. It totally trips me out when Lilly is at my parents and plays with the same things that I loved as a child. I am just trying to love every moment of Lilly. Life seems to be moving so fast these days.

By the way.... for those who don't know we are moving this weekend into Ryan's parents basement to save some money before we head off to dental school in Milwaukee. We have had so much fun living in the court up here at the U of U. We will miss it terribly. Thanks to all of you in the court who had made our experiences here wonderful!

A day at the Zoo

Lilly went on her first trip to the zoo the other day with her cousin Madison. They had some much fun together!













We visited the gift shop where Lilly tried out the leopard mask and Madison tried to be a giraffe.




















Lilly saw so many animals. Because it was such a warm winter day the animals were all really active. I definitely think the elephants were her favorite.
