3 steps!!

Lillian took 3 steps yesterday!! I startled her when she did it because I screamed for Jeremy to come to her room. I immediately picked her up and took her to the living room so that we could play "walk to mommy and daddy". She loved to "walk to mommy and daddy" for a little bit, and then she just wanted mommy! I promise as soon as I can get my pictures posted I will. The girls are growing up so fast! Trinity will be 4 in less than 2 months!

updates...

Lillian is almost 8 1/2 months now! Can you believe it?!? She still has absolutely no interest in crawling, and she wants to walk around the house over and over again. I thought it was difficult when Trinity went through this stage at 10 months. At least she was a little bit taller than my Lilly is at this point. Lillian started this at the end of her sixth month and hasn't stopped! She loves to wave bye-bye, and even more than that, she loves her sister! Trinity decided she wanted to entertain Lilly the other day so she started running around the house pretending to let Lilly chase her! She figured out soon enough that mommy and Lilly couldn't keep up with her, so she started running in circles around Lilly. I have never heard my little baby laugh so hard! It was the sweetest sound in the world!!

Trinity is going to be 4 in less than two months. She really would like to skip turning 4 and go straight on to 5, but I told her she would have to take that one up with God! She went over to her friends house across the street on Friday and played for about a little bit all by herself! This is a big deal, because she has never been to any ones house, except family, by herself before. The whole time she was there I kept peaking out the window making sure everything looked okay over there. Jeremy told me to leave her alone and let her be a big girl, but I was so nervous about it. When I finally went to get her, she had a smile on her face from ear to ear! I think she truly was on cloud nine!

again, no pictures because my drive is down on my computer! I will get some posted as soon as possible!

a few new achievements!

Lillian has really showed some growth in the last week or so. She can shake her head "yes", clap her hands (mainly hits her belly, but she still manages a good clap), and she loves to dance with Trinity. If any of you have seen Trinity's moves, just wait until you see Lilly! She thinks that the word "bye-bye" goes with daddy. Anytime you ask her where daddy is she says, "dada bye-bye".

7 month pictures!

i will have more later, but i am having trouble adjusting them for the blog right now!

7 months already!

I can't believe Lillian is 7 months! She is absolutely wonderful! The week before she turned 7 months she started walking while hanging on to my fingers. I think she has decided that she is going to skip the crawling phase and go straight to walking. I keep trying to encourage her to attempt crawling, but it just frustrates her. She is now trying to pull up! She can do it if i give her my fingers, but doesn't quite have it down using furniture.

how cute..

just some pictures of the girls...

it's been a while...

I haven't added any post in a while, so I am going to try to catch up on all the action at our house. Lillian is going to be 7 months in 5 days. I can't believe it! At her 6 month check-up she weighed 17lbs 6oz and was 27 in. She is 1 lb heavier and 3/4in. longer than Trinity was at this age. She can roll in both directions now, and scoots herself backwards while on her belly. Lilly loves to stand up and play with toys. She can stand without help from momma if she has something to help support her. She started saying "mama" at the end of April, and she is trying to say "dada". Right now it comes out as "baba". Oh, how she loves her sister! Trinity is her favorite thing to watch. When she is upset from riding in the car, Trinity will lean over and start talking to her and she immediately calms down. We started her on rice cereal the day she turned six months. She wasn't too sure what to do with it at first. She drinks out of a sippy-cup unassisted too.

Trinity is my drama queen. She is going to be quite a handful in the upcoming years. She knows far more than any 3 year old should know. She can pull at your heart-strings like a master puppeteer (sp). She spent this last weekend alone with her daddy. This was the first time since she was born that I have left her with anyone. I know it was with her daddy, but it still was hard. I think Jeremy has started something horrible with this keeping her for the weekend. When I talked to them on the first day I was gone, I found out that he went and bought her a wii. I hate to see what I find at home if I am ever away again!
