Pictures Post 12-29-08

Here are a few pics for the last two weeks o' Lily.
I hope to add more pics soon; I've been picture slackin' fo shizzle.


Just being goofy on her playground toy...



Its tough economic times when the Barbies are car-pooling
(in a Little People van at that!)



Lily enjoyed helping me put up the Christmas tree...




Sweet kisses for baby Jesus




A Wise Man and Baby Jesus check out the Angels spot in the nativity scene...




Hanging out with her good friend Audrey...

My baby the Superstar

Many occasions in Lily's life have left me filled with pride beyond compare. Things like her first smile, that first roll-over, her first steps, first syllables, first words. It's a long list that continues on. However, this video will show you what is perhaps one of my most proud Mommy Moments of all time...okay - of all time "so far".

Lily Doins (video edition) 12-09-08

Instead of typing out the Tends to Be Lengthy list of Lily Doins, I figured I'd show it via video this time. Lily is now embarking on adventures in small sentences. Examples you'll see in the video below are: Thank you Mommy (or Daddy), Nite Nite Babies, Hi Max, No Bark and SIT. Enjoy!

One more life mystery SOLVED

If you would, please permit me one post to brag . It's not my style nor do I have many talents so, don't worry, this post will be quite rare. Trust me. :-)

I have figured out one more of Life's mysteries. Sure I have figured out a few mysteries in my life, thus far, like revelations related to college, marriage, child bearing, religion, comedy and electronics. Now, added to that list is...HOW TO TIE A FANCY PANTS BOW! Check it out! I'm so proud!

How to Say Water (by Lily)

Defying all video recording odds of actually catching the toddler mid-trick, I managed to catch a glimpse of the illusive "Water" word. That Lily is creative.

What I'm Thankful For

Now that I finally suckered my dear sis into blogging - I shall honor her induction by hijacking her idea and making it my own [insert evil laugh: myaa hahahaha, you're one of us now, Neeneekakah]. All of these are Non Serious. Of course I am thankful for all the serious stuff. But why read that when there is random goofyness to be had??

10 Non Serious Things I'm thankful For (no order):

1. Newly cleaned public toilet. It's the proverbial pot at the end of the rainbow. Sorry - I couldn't resist the cliche but it really is appropriate.

2. Wagging tail: I love our sweet Big Moose Dog Max and I especially love seeing his big wagging tail. It'll put a smile on even the most unsmilingest face.

3. Books turned into Movies: Lord of the Rings, Twilight, Harry Potter - the list is endless. Why read? Just wait a year then watch it with pictures!

4. DVR: I am convinced they show Live tv in hell.

5. Cell Phone: Not simply because it is communication anywhere anytime, but is is also a handy little flashlight (Crazy, remember).

6. New pair of socks: they are warm, snuggly and hole-free (great for shoe shopping too).

7. Internet shopping: never leave home, shopping in pajamas, redeeming coupon codes and free shipping to your door. Gosh I love the internet.

8. Soft cookies: are there any other kind of cookies?

9. Fast internet: Slow internet is the second thing that I think is reserved especially for hell. Dial up??? Nooooo!! Fast internet is truly heaven.

10. Google: Anything you could every want or wish to know on one website at your very fingertips. I use to love Google's grandfather: the Library. But now? Sorry Library but my love belongs to another. Maybe we can still be friends? I Googled the Library the other day. Does that help?
