Growing Up!

Lilah has started to refuse her crib at bedtime...screaming and escaping. I am afraid we are in for years of couch sleeping, or having a guest in our bed. One who tosses, turns, kicks and needs her own space. Good thing daddy is handy. He converted her crib into a toddler bed this past weekend. Can you believe it?! Where is my baby?!

This is what we saw when we put her in her crib at night...

Then we told her she was getting a 'big girl' bed!

 I can help!

Oh....and she loves singing her ABCs

And. Just for fun. Here is a flashback to when Lilah liked her crib...



All Aboard!

We met up with some of Lee's family to ride the trolley around Lake Harriet. Although the ride was short, Lilah loved being on the 'choo choo'!

Keeping Busy!

Holy Geez....it is mid-July already. This summer has been so busy, and I have been slacking on my blogging duties. Lilah is growing up and is talking up a storm. She hates veggies of all kinds, and she can't get enough of the sand, sun and water. She is obsessed with airplanes (or airbeeps as she calls them) and the moon. I absolutely love watching her learn and try new things....here are some of our adventures from the past month :) I may not have been writing....but I was still taking pictures!

Heat Wave!! Playing in water however we can!!

 Auntie April's Grad Party....Thanks for the BLUE jelly beans, Grandpa!

Daddy found a fun playset and set it up with a new sandbox!! We really really (really, really, really) love him!

 Hanging out with Johanna and Declan at 'the farm' (Lilah is making horns and saying mooooo)

 Giraffe balloon from the Mill City Farmers Market

 Celebrating Daddy at Shamrocks. 4 years since his accident. We are so happy he is better!

 Kelley Park in Apple Valley with Auntie Kara. *i would highly recommend!

Then we were off to the "Lynn family" pool

After two months....Winnie is home from training!

Showing off what she learned

Until next time....

Lilah has mastered the where's the 'insert body part here' game...we are on to new directions to follow.

p.s. here is Lilah doing a 'flippy' :)

Perfect Saturday!

Earlier this week I received a phone call that made my month, Faye and Ava were coming to town and had some time for a play date. I miss these two so so much and wish they lived closer!! We spent most of the morning at Edinboroug Park and then we made our way to Wild Rumpus. I just love watching Lilah and Ava play together....and even though months pass between the times I get to see Faye, we always pick up right where we left off. Maybe that's because we talk on the phone almost everyday!! Thank you University of Minnesota for bringing us together!

We can't wait to see you guys again!

Let's Go Play!

 Best Buddies!!

Here is a little look back at some of the fun times these two have already shared!
