Family pictures in July...... All I can say is HOTT! Luckily we ended up with some pretty cute pics! Obviously updating the blog on my iPad is not such a good idea... It posted 3 times and missed the picture of the Horton Clan... Ill update soon!

I'm testing this on my iPad

My Tuesday child

Its been a long time... I have about a year of making up to do. How about I just pick up at 18 months!

Lilly's baby book only goes up to a year and then gives you a silly little page for every year after that so Im going to have to use this blog to record all the funny things this child does.... get ready for an over load of Lilly-isms!

Words-
Momma
Dadda
Popa
Jen
Dane (who she associates with the schoold bus that they wait for Dane to get off of)
Doogie
Baaby (in a very southern twang)
Brooobeee (sounds a lot like baaby)
Down (she doesn't know up so says down for up too)
Done
Naana (very much banana)
Juice
Hey
Whats that
Caca
Flower
Jing
Allie
Bye Bye
Night Night
eyes
mouth
shoes

The animal sounds she knows well are doggie, cat, horse, cow, gorilla, sheep and alligator. She has recently started shaking her hear yes and no appropriately. She can recognize her eyes, noes, mouth, ears, hair, tounge, teeth, toes and belly button. My mom has recently taught her to bat her eyes (im telling you she is drama!). Her favorite game to play is the mean face stare game.

Our little Fishy

This little child is a swimming queen, she was much happier in the water splashing around than in this silly float! I'm sure she was thinking "this is for babies"! Ive seen Baby Aquatics swim leasons for infants from like 3 months and how they teach them to swim... I honestly think Lilly could handle it. We layed her on her back and she was so relaxed and floated and her legs kicked like a little fish! I think by the end of the summer Im going to have a tan little girl from all the swimming!

Blogging... or the lack there of!

Well after a HUGE catastrophe in the Dehmel house hold, I have decided to blog again and keep up with it as much as possible! Wednesday, I went to edit a few pictures and upload some to facebook, when I finished I went to transfer a few to my external hard drive... little did I know that a few seconds later I would loose 3 years of pictures :( I feel like Ive lost something so priceless. So lesson learned... back up ALL pictures from now on no matter what! So what that means to my Blog is that I will be uploading and updating a whole lot more.

My little monster is almost 7 months old and somehow I can not even believe time is going by this fast. But I enjoy seeing her learn so very much!!!!!

Having a BIG dog

So this is my everyday life! Poor Butter and Allie have no chance at keeping their toys anymore now that the taz-manian Devil lives with us!!!!! these toys here were the little ones Christmas present and I'm pretty sure they didnt even last a week. And what is a dogs facination with water hoses? because im pretty sure that knox has disected the poor water hose in my back yard more than one time! Lastly he has this need to dig up roots from underground, even though my trees are still Alive?????? What am I going to do with this dog??????? But I still love him!

December

Well with my lack of blogging, I figure its time to play catch up! Lilly is growing like weed and I fell most days as though I've accomplished nothing. It literally takes me all morning to get dressed and brush my teeth if I dont have someone else here to help. Dont get me wrong, I dont mind it AT ALL!!!!! Well what would a blog be with out pictures... so here they are!

So this is her trying out her bumbo seat... lol I think the face says it all! While she did really well with it, I think in her little mind she is saying "let me stay a baby for a little while longer" and with that being said I havn't attempted to put her back in it!!!!

I guess if you have to get a shot then you must have a pretty shiny band-aid to go with it! Lilly had to have her Hep B shot on Dec 2nd and let me tell you, this girl knows how to hold a note... lol! She held her breath for a good minute maybe longer. I guess whith the previous shot and PKU she was too young to know pain? who knows but she was a good sport and was good enough to pose with her lovely proof!

Look at that yawn.... she did have a very busy day! Not to mention Happy Birtday, she was exactly 1 month old! We had lunch with auntie Nat and Justin for Nat's birthday, we went to the mall and shopped, Where we got this georgous hat! We went and hung out with do-do and went to dinner a Pluckers for more birthday celebration! And how cute is she with this shirt?

We went to meet Samantha and Ashley when they got home from the hospital! Sam was so adorable and small... It made me sad to see how fast they really grow! Lilly was a month and 2 days old and Sam was 3 days old! And oh how awesome was it to finally have our babies to hold instead of these rediculous humps on our bellies :)~

Here is another one of the anticipate friends! Richard and Tiana came over to meet Lilly when she was 5 weeks! Richard was born on July 9th and is sooo alert! He was such a cutie but Lilly just slept the whole time they were visiting, something that she is very good at!

Yes she was a very cute little bear and fit in very well with her BIG bear that Auntie Jen gave her at the hospital but I promise I dont normally dress my child in the super hot snow suite everyday here in Texas. This particlar day was the Coldest day yet of the season and our house thermostate was reading 62 degrees..... It was freezing and I even had mittens on Lilly but they didn't match the outfit so I couldn't take a picture with them on :) Luckly my dad and Brian had it all fixed that evening and we had a very toastly space heater that made us extra warm!
