crawlin', cards & the beach!








Miss Lily is keeping us on our toes! She is moving, twisting, reaching, grabbing, and beginning to crawl, not staying put for two seconds. When you pull her shirt over her head, she pulls it back off. When you sit her down, she wants to stand. When you eat, she wants it, and when you drink, Lily grabs at your cup and yanks it to her mouth. She talks to everyone, smiles at everyone, and while she babbles all day, has developed a very clear "Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma!" whenever she really wants me, whether someone else has her or if she's in her crib or the other room.

My dad received a singing Hallmark card for his birthday in June, and Lily absolutely loved it (so much, in fact, that she devoured most of it and finally the noise box stopped working after being played 1000 times.) Well, yesterday in the mail, Lily got a brand new version of the exact same card from Grandpa and Aunt Lee, and she is SO thrilled...clapping, dancing, and again, chewing it up.

Then today, all the OMS Haiti missionaries went to the beach together (all five of us :) and had an awesome day. Lily LOVED it! LOVED the water, the waves, the sand, the kids, the breeze, swimming, drinking all the salt water she could get to... Tomorrow she will be seven months, and looked like such a big girl today...ah, my heart!
