Lily's new trick

Check this out! Lily can roll her tongue! For the last 3 days this is all she does! I come in to get her in the morning and she is laying in her crib with her tongue curled. I change her diaper and she entertains herself by curling her tongue. She sneezes and her tongue curls! I kinda feel like she is rubbing it in because I can't curl my tongue! She gets it from her daddy.

Thanksgiving with the family

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving with our family this year. There is so much to be thankful for...our friends and family, our home, our church, our marriage, our baby girl, our jobs....and so much more. But nothing compares to the hope that we have in Christ Jesus.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." 1 Peter 1:3-5. What a gift! Thank you Father God.

Answered Prayers

Kyle had been telling me, "you just wait...the Lord will provide...every time God puts a desire like this in my heart, He always comes through." He had been asking the Lord to provide a newer, safer vehicle for Lily and I to drive around town in. The other day Kyle said to God, "I am sorry for not being content with what you have given us. All our lives are in your hands and if you think we need a different vehicle I trust that you will provide it. Until then, I will be content with what we have." A few days later his mom called and said that grandpa and grandma are buying a new car and they are giving her (Kyle's mom) their '06 Camry...but she said that she wanted us to have it! Once again God has done "immeasureably more than we could ever ask or imagine" Ephesians 3:20. So here is a picture of our new car! Thank you Lord!

Three months or so...

Just a few more cute shots for you all to enjoy:)

Baby in the Mirror

Lily has a new best friend whom she gets so excited to see each day! This little "baby friend in the mirror" seems to always dress the same as Lily, she has the same expressions as Lily, she even has a mommy that looks just like Lily's! I think this is what makes them such great friends:)

Trunk or Treat

Lily's first Trunk or Treat:)

In the chili cook-off we won for "best presentation".

See how cute I am:)

My own personal babydoll! How fun it is to dress her each morning. Sometimes I secretly hope she will spit up on herself so I can pick another outfit to put her in!











What a face! I think she is saying, "Mom, I think you took enough pictures of me."She really reminds me of her Uncle Bri in this shot! Thanks for the cute dress Aunt Mara! And the head wrap is from your mom! It matches so nicely:)

Our polka dot princess sitting up all by herself! Well...kind of:)
















Timber!!! Going, going...


















GONE!














These are our FAVORITE stretch pants! I changed the head band because the first one was too small...well we realized this one was a little big after a quiet car ride home. She was sound asleep! Haha:)

This is Becky singing "LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA" to the tune of Canon D. For some reason this is the only thing that calms a very fussy Lily Bella between the hours of 6-8pm most every night:) In the background you can see the Florida gators on top of the LSU Tigers. Daddy was not very happy that night!

Our evening ritual... Usually around 8:30pm we head to the bath! That is, unless Canon D does not calm the baby for some reason in which case bathtime may come early. As soon as Lily hears the water she is the happiest baby on the block! Bathtime is her FAVORITE time of day!




























Check out my new trick. I can put my whole fist in my mouth! Daddy says I get my big mouth from my mommy because she too can perform this trick:)







I am working on fitting BOTH fists in there! Maybe when I get to be 3 months...stay tuned:)

I wish bathtime could last forever! I am not happy when daddy and mommy take me out of my beloved tub.

I took my bath, I have a full tummy and now I am ready for bed! But not before a photoshoot with my BIG pink bear (thanks to Katya who brought this on the airplane all the way from Washington D.C!).

Ooops! I fell over!

Ooops! I fell over the other way!

"That's ENOUGH of this Mommy!"












Goodnight everyone:)
