Peaches N Lilly

Saturday we took a trip to an orchard called Apple Annies. It rained most of the way there but by the time we got there we had the only little patch of sun in the sky. It was pretty muddy and muggy. None of this seemed to bother Lilly. She had a blast! We walked awhile to get away from most of the mud so she could walk where ever she wanted. While mommy and daddy picked peaches she walked up and down the aisles of fruit trees picking her own off the ground. We let her pick one of her own and I told her to eat it. (Surprisingly she hadn't tried putting one in her mouth yet!) She walked around eating that peach for such a long time. It made a mess of her shirt so with the mud on her shoes and feet and the peach all over her shirt and face she was a mess! She also got to help pick green beans, bell peppers, and several others. For lunch she enjoyed roasted corn so much that she wanted more. Needless to say she was asleep in her seat before we got to the highway but I really think she had a lot of fun.

Lilly has really increased her vocabulary. She repeats a lot of words we say. We've been showing her our eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. The past few weeks she's been able to point to our parts if we say them. Last week Logan was playing with her in the play room and was laying on the floor. He said she walked up to him, pointed to her own eye and clearly said "EYE!" He was so excited. He taught her to sing "e i e i ooo" the other day too. She's really started picking up a lot of other words too.

Lilly had a check up last week too. We were excited to find out that she had gained 2 lbs and grew 2 inches in just 2 months! The nurses didn't believe how much she had grown and weighed her twice to make sure. The doctor was happy to see her growing so much and how far she was doing developmentally. We were told to move her to face forward in the car (Logan said he didn't mention that he had already done so :0).

Lilly the clammy clown

So we were able to get pictures sent to us of Lilly's birthday in Missouri since our camrea stopped working. We also got our camera working again so I have another video to post. Lilly had a blast in MO visiting all her relatives. This was by far the best trip yet. She was still quite grumpy for her and when we got back we found out she had ear infections in both ears, poor little girl, I'd be grumpy too! She was still very much the little show off and while opening presents made sure to say "ooooo" and "wow" at every one. She really enjoyed the cards. We had to bring a whole suitcase home filled with presents. Thankfully she recieved several 12 month outfits that she very much needed and is already growing out of. She just continues to grow and grow. I totally understand why my relatives used to say I grew like a weed. She does. She's already grown out of the shoes we bought her for the trip. In length she's grown a ton. She has also gained some weight and is now able to sit in a forward facing car seat. Daddy couldn't wait any longer and has me drive when we're together so he can play with her. I think she enjoys it too.

We enjoyed a very fun 4th of July with Aunt Pam, Uncle Brian, and Cousin Ben. It's so much fun as Lilly gets older to watch her play with Ben. They are able to play together more and Ben is very cute holding hands with her. I think that he finds her a tad bit annoying sometimes.... :)

We took Lilly to the mall play area for the first time since she is walking around and she had a blast. She loves the slide even though it doesn't really let her slide. We've gone to the play area 4 times since and she is starting to recognize the entrance to the mall and gets quite excited when we go.

Lilly is constantly adding more words to her vocab. A few words she says are "mama," "dada," "doggo(dog)," "ball," "grraff(giraffe),"up," "down," "look," and many more. The other day she actually put two words together and we were very excited! Sadly neither Logan and I can remember what it was. I'm sure that she'll do it again soon and this time I'll write it down.

As she gets older Logan and I are constantly amazed how funny she is. She does things just to get us to laugh at her. We go to the mall and she'll wave at people and try to make them laugh. She's just a clown.
