birthday, books and bouncing

Lily loved 'helping' Dad open his birthday presents...and then ate the wrapping paper.
We took Matt to town for lunch for his Birthday!
Aunt Bex sent Lily book 3 in her favorite book series! (I know, this sounds weird...but she LOVES these Barney Saltzburg books and now has all three!)


Then, Dave and Ann sent Lily this awesome bounce chair/toy! She loves it! (obviously!) Loves sitting in it, using it to stand, crawling through it...
THANK YOU, Dave and Ann!!!
Everyday, we pick a few small toys and put them in Lily's Easter basket. Throughout the day, we catch her in her room, going over each thing in her basket as if she's never seen them before! It's so cute :)
Thank you, too, Lori for some cute new clothes, Aunt Patty, for new baby food, diapers and cookies (she LOVES those baby cookies) and Grandpa and Aunt Lisa for new jammies!

No matter how many things we find to prop her head on these bumpy roads, Lily + sleeping in car = mom or dad holding her head up the whole trip :) Thanks, Grammy, for her little sheep!

She is standing up on EVERYTHING, and will stand at the front door like this all day. She can stand and stay, no problem...sitting down, she cannot do. So, she stands, sometimes for 20 minutes, and then when she can't stand anymore, wails until you come help her sit down :)

joy joy joy...funny how quickly we have forgotten life before Lily! I can't imagine that I didn't miss her the last 25 years!

Oh, you did miss her, you just didn't know what you were missing! So, does she realize she has all three books in the series? We've already established that she reads . . . .! Love you guys!
