Six Flags, Lily and daddy going on a ride.

We were on the crazy carousel with Trinity (Brian's co-workers daughter) and her mom.

Lily hanging out while waiting to go on the giant ferris wheel.

Which turned out NOT to be a good idea because we totally forgot that it takes for ever on one and it's not a fast ride, which Lily likes. She didn't want to sit still and tried throwing her new crocs over the side from the top....

Lily LOVE corn on the cob!!!

Lot's of Pictures from February till now!!

We tried to divert her by smelling the little flowers.

She LOVES her babies. She is constantly saying "baby". We just got her a little doll stroller and she loves it!

Lily likes to have her own "snack" bowl. (It is spill proof) But she ends up sharing half of it with Dew anyway.

Just sitting around.

"Pleeeeease throw my ball for me"

Mommy and Lil.

I was trying to get a picture for daddy's valentines day present from Lil.

I took many shots and couldn't get her to look at me and smile.

So I decided to try and bribe her with an M&M.

Instead of smiling for me, she lied back on the couch and "relaxed" while she sucked on her M&M! ha ha

Christmas 2008!

Dewey just wondering when the heck he is going to get a piece.

Mommy and Lil haning out on Thanksgiving.

Mommy and Lil waiting for the parade to start in downtown Louisville. It started out warm in the sun, but we had to wait till 7:30 PM for the lights to go on and the fireworks.

Lily thinking she owns the street she is walking down. We were walking around the city trying to kill time before the big tree lighting.

Lily as usual has a phone in her hand.

She must get it from daddy, cuz we all know mom is a terrible phone person.

Look at my "purse".

She carries the remote to her crib aquarium like it's a pocketbook.

Mommy was playing with Lily's hair.

Our BEAUTIFUL 9 foot Christmas tree!!

One of about 40 pictures we tried taking for Christmas pictures.

"What's this on the cloth next to me?"

"What are you going to do with those hands little girl?"

"It's ok Dew, it's almost over"

Yeah, not a good christmas card photo...

Finally all done.

Just let me touch the camera, pleeeeease....

ooooh look, a present for Lil from Auntie Heather and Uncle Jimmy.

"Is it a climb on toy..."

"No, it must be a new chair"

Yeah! Little People!

Lily enjoying the little pizza slices it came with.

Dewey and his boo-boo paw. He sliced it open when I took him for a walk to the dumpster on e night. Then someone's dogs got loose and were running up to us and I freaked out. The guy came running out when he heard the yelling and then we noticed blood everywhere. He and his wife brought us to their door and tried to get it to stop bleeding. He had blood all over his jeans and nice shirt. We thought it was an injury from the dogs...but it appears to be from glass. Dad had to take Dew to the emergency doctor at 9:00 PM because it wouldn't stop bleeding even after two hours. There are now blood trails all over this complex. ha ha

"Wow daddy look!"

"A horsey!"

Nana and papa sent Lily a horse for Christmas!

"Uh yeah daddy, I know how to ride it"

"Well I guess if you really want to show me how..."

Go Patriots!

"Can I see the camera? Pleeeease...."

"Ha ha I got to look at the screen!"

"Can I see it again?"

Hanging out with Lily

2008-11-25T07:46:00.010-05:00

Here we are getting ready to head out into the cold...Lil has her new hat on!

Come'on mom let's go

Yummy spaghetti!

I think next time we will still with the rotini.

She liked sucking it up, like most kids! ha ha

She thinks she is a hoot!

Here's Lil getting something out of her purse.

What is she looking for?

Oh, of course, her cell phone!

Here we were playing with the camera together.

She kept putting her face right up to the camera!

Lily LOVES Dewey and will play right next to him and always tries to give him kisses.

Unfortunately, he usually walks away. : (

I think he was chewing a boney here.

Here are Lil's three teeth!

Halloween and Our first days in KY

2008-11-15T22:01:00.008-05:00

Lily the ladybug at the end of a very long night. We started at 3 PM and didn't get back to the hotel till 8ish.
But she was totally thrilled with her lollipops! (We ate all the good candy! ha ha)

Here is the first of three pictures showing the front of Church Hill Downs (Kentucky Derby)

Th place is HUGE!!

Lily loves a good bagel. Here she is using her one and only tooth, to take tiny little bites on our first morning at the new place. (as of 11-15-08 she now has three teeth!)

She found her old infant carrier and decided to climb in it and hang out. This is one of the many ways Lil entertained herself while we unpacked. : )

She was "reading" her birthday card from Nonie and Popie...it played music and she really like it!

Just a small showing of all the boxes we had!!!

This how Dewey spent his time while we unpacked.

Reaching for her magnets on the fridge.

Apple Farms, Birthday Parties and Lil Turning ONE!

2008-10-21T19:32:00.016-04:00

We all went to Uncle John's Cider Mill the day before Lily's birthday party (10/10/08). We were here in the exact spot the same time last year, before Lil was born. (scroll all the way to the bottom of this page)
Lil loves pumpkins!
We were on a cart being pulled by a tractor and Lily liked the feeling of the wind blowing on her.
(like a little puppy sticking it's head out the window)
Oooh scary ghosts!
On Our way to pick out pumpkins!

Lil loved the crazy apple ride.

oooh that was good.
Really good!

We went to Rowe's Farm with Brian's work and Lily loved the animals!

Wanting to touch the sheep...

Lily and daddy didn't know that this sheep has decided to jump in the picture!

But they figured it out when it came right up to them!

Lil was touching it's nose.

You may notice the bruising on her forehead...she took a header in school and hit her head on a chair...this learning to walk stuff is pretty scary! She hit her head 2 times in one day! Ouch.

Look how tall Lily is!

Next weekend we are off to Uncle John's cider mill...where Lily can pick her own pumpkin!

As you can see by his face, there wasn't

Yeah! I love curley string!
And of course the paper!

Ummm I don't think this bag can hold me
Lily was trying to pull herself up last week (6-18-08), so we had to drop her matress down...and she was still trying to pull herself up!

Now she looks like she's in a cage!! ha ha

Please don't feed the animals!

Lily once again missing all the fun! 6-21-08

She opened up wide for this one!
The faces she made were as if the applesauce was tart. She would close her eyes and kind shrug up her shoulders.
Hanging out in the exersaucer!

Having a good old time, of course!

Dewey watching Lil having a good old time...

Last weekend we had Nonie and Great Nanie come out and visit with us! We had a wonderful time and Lily really enjoyed the one on one time she got to spend with them. We went to the really nice mall out here (about an hour away from here - heading towards Detroit) on Friday and then went out for dinner. On Saturday we went to the zoo, as it was a beautiful day and had a great time looking at the animals. Lily's favorite was the big asian cat things (not sure what they were but looked like giant house cats). We miss them and can't wait to see them again.

Lily's Fist Easter!

2008-03-27T19:14:00.012-04:00

Whooaaah this bunny is jumping on me!

Mikey, JR, Lily and Travis

Lily all dressed up for brunch.

The Easter bunny came to visit us at brunch.

All cozy after tubby time.

We had Nana and Papa, Auntie Jen, Unlce Jimmy, JR, Travis & Mickey visit us last week and helpe us celebrate Lily's first Easter! It was a full house but we somehow all managed and had a great time!!! Mikey swept the crowd away with his 'Lips of an Angel' rendition when we played American Idol on Playstation and Auntie Jen cleaned up and earned them all their toll money for the ride back, when we played Left - Right - Center. Lily enjoyed spending time with everyone and misses them all terribly.

Our Bunny Photo Shoot & Lil's First Taste of Cereal

2008-03-11T19:34:00.008-04:00

The bottoms actually say "Sweet Buns" but I couldn't get a photo to capture it

My ears are a little droopy mommy

Lily and Twinkie the Lamb

Dewey trying desperately to get on the bed to join in the picture taking

"Hmmmm I wonder where I can find carrots?"

Mommy thought I looked cute with my hoodie up.

Look at my rosey cheeks and long lashes...

Look at the aquarium hanging on the bars of the crib, Lily has figured out how to turn it on and off, by pushing the big blue button...she turns herself sideways in the crib and will reach up and push it on and off!

Lily's first time in her highchair

Very runny cereal.

She actually did ok, but she was really hungry and it's a slow process, so we quickly switched to a bottle.

That's her swallowing it and pushing it back in her mouth.

Little Lil is Already Four Months Old!

2008-03-01T19:04:00.011-05:00

What do you mean the Easter Bunny is coming?

(The above photo is a little sneak peak of what's coming your way in the mail...)

Lily and daddy going back to sleep for a little extra shut eye on President's Day weekend.

Daddy getting ready to brush my hair

Don't I look pretty now? : )

Trying out a pair of my new shades.

Already acting like a diva!

Ha ha daddy climbed under my gym with me.

Aren't we cute together?

Dewey of course trying to be a part of playtime too.

"Why do I always get left out?"

"Hmmm I wonder what this tastes like..."

"Yummm kitties taste pretty good..."

Daddy got stuck!

Well Lily is over four months now and becoming such a big girl! She loves to make raspberries and blow bubbles. Her latest craze is making loud noises, kind of like yelling and sometimes it sounds like a horse neighing! It makes us crack up. She is always so happy and wakes up every morning talking and smiling. (sooo unlike her mommy) Pretty soon Nana and Papa will be here and then Nonie and Great Nanie will be coming to visit. In May Lily will be attending her first Red Sox game and then we are jetting off to Chicago for Memorial Day weekend, where the Hayes family will be meeting up with us for the weekend! Some busy times coming up and we are all sooooo excited!

Superbowl Weekend (obviously pre-game!)

2008-02-09T15:59:00.000-05:00

"Oooh Dewey your ears are so soft, let me just pinch them right here... "

"What do you mean pinching? I'm just petting my puppy mom, I swear..."

Dewey taking a second to acknowledge his sister.

Lily liking the texture of Dewey's fur.

Aren't we cute together?

Superbowl Cake!

All set for the game!

Patriots #1!

Rah Rah Rah!

Mmmm what's in this bottle?

Ha ha it's almost as big as me...

Daddy is such a kidder, I'm too little for beer!

After seeing how the game was going, Lily decided to call it a night before half time!

Lily Laughing!!

2008-01-31T20:11:00.000-05:00

Daddy I already saw the birdie up there
Oh wow but I didn't notice that before.
This is pretty cool, I like my jumperoo!

Lily tried out her jumperoo today for the first time. She really like the blinking lights and loved it when they went off when she kicked up. She hasn't fully mastered the art of bouncing yet, but I can definitely see her doing it pretty soon!

2008-01-05T19:28:00.000-05:00

Ha ha look at me, I am sticking out my toungue and taunting the ladybug...

Oh crap, did she just get closer to me?

Lily in her swing...

She truly thinks it hillarious when she sees herself in the mirror that is attached to the swing. This was her laughing (but without sound) at her reflection. (she hasn't laughed out loud yet...I know it's coming soon though) : )

The Christmas Card Photo Shoot

2007-12-19T17:54:00.000-05:00

The following pictures are from our Christmas card photo shoot.

In this shot the models were waiting for the shoot to begin. Dewey was eyeing his yogurt drop treats that were being used as payment for having to share the limelight this year.

Lily is looking cool as a cucumber as usual, but Dewey was pleading with us to at least forgo the hat.

Here Dewey realized the hat was staying and there would be no yogurt treats till he started acting like a professional.

Dewey's solo shot. (notice he doesn't look as dreary when he doesn't have to pose with the new girl)

Lily looking so freakin cute, but at this point she had reached the end of her rope with her glum, fluffy partner and the pain in the butt photographer and her assistant.

2007-12-07T15:57:00.000-05:00

Haning out with mom...

Great-Aunt Sandra and fussy Lily

Ahhhh a happy Lily moment

Lily's great-aunt Sandra was here this past weekend from Flagstaff, AZ to visit little Lily. We got some Christmas shopping done and Auntie made some yummy meals for us. Unfortunately Lily was extremely fussy all weekend long and cried all throughout the day up until she would finally fall asleep around 10:30 - 11:00 PM. I stopped pumping my milk on Wednesday so she was soley on formula and we think it was bothering her...so we bought a new kind and so far she has been ALOT better!!! Good thing G-Aunt Sandy has three kids of her own, so she was pretty good at bouncing little Lily and trying to help calm her. Lily is sooooooo looking forward to her first visit to Boston out of the womb!!! (and to Christmas, of course!) Only 18 more days - whoo hooo!

Some Random Pics...

Lily's First Thanksgiving

2007-11-23T16:37:00.000-05:00

Our first snow this year...Thanksgiving morning

Lily looking like a stuffed turkey... hee hee

Apparently the paparazzi caught her by surprise in her turkey bib.

"Look papa, I am wearing the outfit you picked out! And NO you can't pinch my cheeks!"

Lily and Dewey obviously enthralled with the football game...

Daddy and Dewey ready to nap, but little Lil still WIDE awake...

Lily's First Thanksgiving, was ummm, I guess we would say a looooooong day. Our dinner was yummy (Brian's turkey was delightful - can't leave that out) and the pies were tasty too, but Lily-pie wanted nothing to do with sleeping! She rose at 6:00 AM and did not sleep through until 9:30 PM, with only a couple of cat naps in between. So mommy and daddy were extremely tired all day tending to the princess and trying to make a big dinner. ; )

Dewey did manage to score a nice little plate of turkey and all the trimmings but Lily has to wait until next year.

Lily's First Tubby

2007-11-13T10:45:00.000-05:00

Ooh warm water...

That faucet is absolutely stunning...

I just can't stop staring at it...

All snuggly on daddy's shoulder

Mom, a little privacy please?

Seriously...

Oh what the heck, might as well ham it up!

Lily's cord finally fell off on Sunday, so last night she got her first real tubby! Not a peep was made the entire time, we think she loves tubbies.

Nana and Auntie Jen' Visit

2007-11-13T10:09:00.000-05:00

Nana and Auntie Jen came to visit Lily this past weekend! And they also tried to steal her as they were leaving, promising to send pictures of her every day and telling us we would be seeing her in almost a month... nice try! ; )

We had a very nice time and Lily really enjoyed spending time with Nana and Auntie Jen. They loved to hold her and feed her and change her and play with her clothes! We took a trip to the mall, Uncle John's Cider mill and went out for dinner. Nana and Auntie brought all kinds of clothes for Lily, including a fabulous Patriots Cheerleader outfit! We will miss all of their help and Lily will miss all of the cuddles and of course the songs sung by Auntie.

Cute Pics of Lil

Snuggle time with daddy

Oh look mommy does exist...and there are two babies on her lap!

My scary face...raahhhh

Ok, I am bored now with all these pictures.

Got milk?

Daddy says it looks like I am making snow angels when I sleep.

Lily's First Halloween

2007-11-01T17:42:00.000-04:00

Lily and Dewey ready for Halloween!

Lily's first Halloween had a lot of trick or treaters show up at the door but they were in large groups of little kids and then a bunch of teenagers not in costume looking for some free candy. We finally decided to just shut the door and turn out the light at 7:20 PM since most of them it seemed, were casing the house and commenting on how much they liked our TV and were checking out the stuff in our living room. Gotta love living on the edge of the ghetto. ; )

Next year we figure we will dress her up and take her out so we can reap the benefits of the candy. ha ha.

Nonie and Poppie

Poppie and Lily

Nonie and Lily

Lily's First Visitors!

2007-10-31T10:35:00.000-04:00

So Nonie and Poppie came to visit us this past weekend arriving on Saturday and leaving just this morning. : (

Lily enjoyed spending quality time with nonie and poppie and mom and dad appreciated all the help! We went out for breakfast on Sunday and little Lily slept right through the whole thing. (Thank Goodness!) We watched the Red Sox win the world series (with Lily's help) and even took a trip to the bigger mall out here. (although she did require some snacks while at the mall)
Today is mom's first day alone with Lily and as I type this, she is fast asleep in her little swing. It will be hard not having nonie and poppie here to hold her, feed her or change her while I am trying to do something else... Guess I am going to have to bribe Dewey to pitch in.

Already a Red Sox Fan

2007-10-25T11:22:00.000-04:00

Lily bringing super-duper, sweet luck to the Red Sox for game 1 of the 2007 World Series.... Helping them win 13 to 1!

It's a girl!

2007-10-25T10:59:00.000-04:00

After two long days in the hospital waiting for my cervix to give the go ahead, we finally had a baby and a girl at that! Whooo hoooo, Lily Sofia made an appearence on Sunday, October 21, 2007 at 12:29 p.m.. Weighing in at 8 lbs 13.5 oz and 21 1/4 inches long. What a beautiful little girl she is! Her favorite things so far are sleeping on mommy or daddy and of course eating! We aren't quite sure what her big brother Dewey thinks about her yet... He has learned to ignore her crying and once in a while he will sniff her but that's about it. He definitely is feeling the pinch from less lap time when someone is holding her and he will do his best pouty face.

We are getting the hang of night time with her but she does not like sleeping upstairs! Hopefully we can get her over that cuz couch sleeping in not the most comfortable!

Due Date Doctors Appointment...

2007-10-16T10:58:00.000-04:00

So we went to the doctors today for our 40 week appointment... We were hoping and hoping that we could set an induction date since I will be past due tomorrow. However, that was wishful thinking. Turns out they won't set a date unless you are approximately 4 cm dialated and well, I am only 1 cm. So we have another appointment next Monday where they will do an ultrasound and bunch of other things to make sure baby still has enough fluid around it and all that good stuff and from there they will decide what will be done. Unless of course, little Baby Fav decides that it is ok to come and play before then! Keep your fingers crossed...

The First Post

2007-10-13T14:38:00.000-04:00

I have decided to creat this blog as a place where our friends and family can come and check out new happenings with us and baby Fav. (if baby Fav ever decides to make an appearence, that is) As of right now it seems as though BF won't be here till Christmas... There have been a few pains on and off for the last couple of days but as soon as they really start to hurt a bit, they then disappear for the rest of the day. (what a tease)
