Big Slide!!!!

I can't believe she did this! And she did three or four times!!! More pics from the fourth to come tomorrow! I am off to work tonight! I hope everyone had a good holiday :)

New Albany Pool

A very awesome pool! We went to the "Big" pool for the first time today! We all had fun! Sophie was a little intimidated by the slides and what not, but Jamison loved it! Sophie went down with some encouragement, but wasn't eager to go back. She would rather eat Cheetos! Sophie did love swimming in the adult pool with her floaties on! Lily loves the water, SHe just played and had a good time :) We will be going back for sure! Can't wait!

Fashion Statement

Sophie's world right now revolves around clothes. She "HAS" to wear a dress everyday. If you want her to wear something else (i.e. it is too cold for a dress) you have to sneak it as if there is nothing else to wear. At naptime she insists on wearing a nightgown, not the dress she had on previously, because you sleep in nightgowns (DUH!!!). Which brings us to these pictures. She woke up from her nap today and couldn't find her Daddy, who was outside doing yardwork, which upset her. So she got her rain boots (I don't know???) and opened the back door to try to find him. She did this all in the amount of time it took me to change Lily, because in the process of Sophie scraming for her Daddy, she woke Lily up from her nap! She is so independent!!! Besides, what two year old cares what they wear!! I am in trouble when this kid is a teenager, I tell you.

Playing

Lily's new favorite toy

Good Night, Sleep Tight

The bed bugs won't bite because she has Daddy's blankie :) Aaron gave this to her when we dicovered that she was a blankie kid. Yes, he still has his blankie!!! Aaron also was a blankie kid/thumb sucker!!

Best Friends!!!

Piggies!!!!

Summertime Fun!!!

The Nuby makes it's return!!!

Lily doesn't do much more than munch on it right now, but she does love it just as much as Sophie did!!!!

Buddy ain't so little any more!!!

People have been asking what he looks like now. Here is the big boy!!! Buddy and Sophie are the best of friends :)

. . . and now deep thoughts, by Lily :)

Of course it almost ends in disaster!!! Seems as if everything "almost ends in disaster"! I hope all you other new moms are having the same difficulty that I am with keeping the baby safe from the toddler!!!! Or, do I just one crazy kid??? Well, I know she's crazy, but more crazy than most I mean :) Anyway, still really cute to see Lily babble!!!

Lily is 6 months old!!!

We went for her check up today . . . 18 lbs. even and 27 in. long!! 80th for weight and 90th for height! She did have an ear infection so she is a sad girl right now :( Not only does her ear hurt, but she had to get her immunizations, poor baby! We got these pics taken on Saturday. We used a new place and I was pleased with them. We only got this one shot of Sophie. Sophie was not in a picture taking kind of mood, but that is OK, because these were really for Lily anyway. Besides, we got some pretty good ones of her last time for her 2 year! I can't believe how fast time flies!!!

Fudgesicles!!!

These are our new favorite things!! If she eats dinner well, she gets one almost every night!!! Tyler is so stinkin' cute :)

Zoo

Today was our first visit to the zoo this season!! We love the zoo! It was a nice day, and surprising slow for a Saturday. Probably because the memorial tournament and the fact that everyone thought it was going to rain. We just missed the rain as we were walking out to the car. Sophie of course loved the animals. We didn't feed the birds this time because it was closed and we did that part of the zoo early. We'll get them next time :) The kangaroos were awesome though, they just laid there as we walked by, very cool!!! Sophie kept wanting to pet them and we couldn't get her to understand why she couldn't. Yeah, I know they are color cordinated, I really didn't plan that. I realized that after I had their clothes picked out, oh well!!

C.O.S.I. Trip #2

We went to C.O.S.I. again today!! Sophie had so much fun playing there!! I had to drag her away kicking and screaming to lunch after two hours of playing!!! We ate lunch then Sophie and Jamison went back fo more! We were there until after two, Sophie barely acted like she was tired, she just didn't want to stop playing. Lily had lots of fun playing in water, so cute!!! We love Uncle Altan, Aunt Atlanta and Jamison . . . Can't wait to go back :)

Some good ones of Lily

Love my thumb sucker

She's so happy now :)

Lily must have been in a picture taking kind of mood today! I got some good shots of her!!!
