A size up!

I can't believe we have gone from this...

On our way home, Lilly was 3 days old

To this...

14 months old

We finally moved Lilly from her rear facing baby carrier to an actual forward facing car seat. When we brought Lilly home she was only 5 pounds, they had to run tests on her in her carrier to make sure she could breath. Well now, 14 months later, the pediatrician gave us the ok to switch her around. Her weight wasn't becoming the issue, it was her height. She was just becoming to tall for the baby carrier. She probably doesn't even weigh close to 20 pounds, maybe 18, but we were told it was all about head control and the doctor felt like she was ready. I think she loves riding forward. There is so much more to look at and see, she seems to jabber more to us as well. Maybe she is trying to tell us and ask what she is seeing. Now, are there any tricks on getting her to sleep in this or moving her once she is asleep?

MM Good!

One of my favorite treats is graham crackers and frosting. I remember eating these after my mom had made her seasonal sugar cookies and had leftover frosting. So the other night after Lilly had finished ALL her dinner I decided to see what she thought. Well, I think she inherited my sweet tooth, she LOVED it. She played with the frosting at first and then licked her fingers, after that it was all over. She started sucking the frosting off the cracker and thought it was fabulous. She is such a good eater, she will try anything you give her, now only if she could gain a little weight. Maybe more frosting?

SL County Fair 2009

We decided to head to the fair Friday night. It was so much fun. I love seeing and showing the animals to Lilly. I think her favorite parts were the chickens and the pony ride. I thought she would hate it and freak out a bit. But she loved it, she actually got mad when Brandt had to take her off. We tried to get her to pet a bunny but she just wouldn't do it. She would get close and then pull her hand away. Can I tell you what she did love? FUNNEL CAKE!! Who doesn't love funnel cake? Well Lilly thought it was fabulous, there was powdered sugar all over her and me. The nice older couple sitting across from us laughed at the mess and gave us wet-naps. I think it was the grandma's own personal stash from her purse. We were grateful they had some and were willing to share!
