My Baby’s mind Monday

My friend Tatiana over at It was a Very Good Year started this meme. Each Monday you look inside your baby’s mind and let us know what you find. Be sure to go show her some love.

This week I was inspired by this picture.
I'm growing

Dear Mama,

Please take a good long look at the above picture and notice something.  I am now standing (with Daddy’s help, thank you Daddy) and the top of my head is over the dowel in my growth chart.  Please remember that on my 5 month birthday (10 days ago) I didn’t even come up to the bottom of the chart.  I may not have gained much weight this week, but I gained height.  Now go tell the doctor (whom I normally really like, she’s very nice) to stuff it.  I’m fine.  I’m petite and I like it that way.

I mean think about it.  I can still wear some of my newborn size clothes.  And you know how cute some of those are so that’s a good thing.  You’re getting your moneys worth out of those clothes, unlike some Mommy’s who get to dress their babies in something once and then they outgrow it.  You’re lucky.

I have included the picture from my 5 month birthday for easy comparison.

Love,

Lily

p.s.  Just like you I look really good in dark pink.

Cute factor

Waldo randomly wrote on our shopping list the other day “Lily: cute factor 10 to the 10th power”.  I thought that was really cute.

I felt like there was a serous lack of Lily pictures lately.

Memorial Day weekend

I was waiting to post about Memorial Day because my friend was suppose to be uploading more pictures.  Oh well I’ll just post those some other time.  I need to get this out of my head before I forget about it.

On Sunday we had lots of help cleaning our old house.  I was in charge of Lily (like usual) so I was very little help.  Waldo and our friends did a great job, if it weren’t for the spiders and the smallness of the place I would have reconsidered moving.

After cleaning was all done we went to another friends house and had a little bar-b-q.  Let me just say that its so nice having chefs for friends.  We had amazing spicy chicken and steak sandwiches.  And of course all the sides.

But really its about the pictures.  So without further ado…

This is my friend *Jack (I forgot to ask if I could use real names so I’m using nicknames, I did remember to ask if it was ok to post the pictures, Yay me). I took what I think is a much better picture but he made me swear to use this one.
