I am not used to saying that my baby girl is 7 months old. I had a hard time getting used to saying she was 6 months old! Where is the time going? Every day is like a new adventure with Lilly and it has been amazing seeing the world through her eyes and experiencing things for the firs time with her. Today we were lucky to have a 70 degree day so we could go out in tshirts and needed our sunglasses! Lilly absolutely loves taking walks and we love showing her off around the neighborhood ;o)

Darren played golf this morning, so Lilly and I had some mommy/daughter time. Lilly helped me cook breakfast and seemed to really enjoy sitting up high so she was almost eye level with me. Relax people, I was right there with her while she was on the countertop and she is not strong enough to tip the Bumbo. (those of you who don't know, this Bumbo seat that she is sitting in was recalled because some parents were leaving their kids in the seat on a raised surface by themselves...not smart). Anyway...these are some of my new favorite pictures of Lilly. We are so lucky to have such a happy baby. I told Darren that if I used up all of my luck to get Lilly, I am ok with that (even if we never win the actual lottery).
I had to take a picture of this because this never happens! Lilly falls asleep on me all the time, but it's always when she is nursing. She has never sat with me in my lap and just fallen asleep until today! She would do this with Darren a lot, but never me. It was so sweet! She looks so adorable when she is sleeping. My little angel!

Darren and I were not looking forward to the end of track out and neither was Lilly. Look at that face!

Today was hard for me because I had to drop Lilly off at Kristi's for the first time in 5 weeks. I know she loves going there and we are SO lucky to have such an amazing daycare situation, but I miss my baby girl so much!
It's great that Kristi's daughters love Lilly and play with her when they get home from school. I was very excited to see this picture of Mia reading books with Lilly :-)

Today was a big day! Lilly cut her first tooth (bottom right)! When I got her home from Kristi's she was in a great mood, but she was chewing everything very vigorously and she was drooling like crazy! I let her bite my finger at one point and I felt her tooth! I was so excited I actually teared up. I can't believe my baby girl is getting her teeth. I took some pictures of her with her crazy drooly face and I actually caught her with a big bubble on her lip!
I had to post this because I think it is hilarious. I like cover Lilly with a blanket when she is nursing for warmth, but I normally would only put the blanket on her up to her neck (like you normally would). Well she will reach her arms around (blindly mind you because she is still nursing) and feel around until she can grab something (i.e. a necklace, my hair...whatever she can). Recently she has started grabbing the blanket and not just holding it in her hands, but yanking it over her head! She loves it! Maybe it reminds her of the womb or something.

We had a 2 hour delay for our workday today, which was great because it gave me extra time in the morning to be with Lilly before going in to work. She loves my phone, so I have learned to turn the camera so I can snap some cute pictures of her gawking at the phone. She also tries to grab it, as you can tell!
Lilly had a good time at home with Daddy before meeting me and my teammates out for lunch.

We are devising ways to try to coax Lilly into crawling (hehe) like putting her toys in front of her and trying to get her to crawl to them. She tries SO hard to move, but she just can't coordinate her arms and legs yet. She can spin in a circle and actually move herself backwards, but not forwards yet. I know she will get there soon, I am just being impatient :o)
Lilly got all dressed up to go to a party at one of Darren's fraternity's brother's house. We have so many cute outfits for her that we rarely put her in since we mostly just hang out at home, so it was nice to have an excuse to dress her up. I forgot that I bought a few new headbands for her that are nice and soft so she hardly notices they are on.
Everyone loved Lilly at the party. She was SUCH a good baby! Darren and I said on the way home how amazing she was. She hardly made a sound the entire time and she just hung out with us while we socialized, and then played with us on her blanket. I feel so lucky to have such an amazing, beautiful, sweet and happy daughter.
