Lily, Ella and her friend Jackson.
Cute Lily girl

We got out our Halloween boxes today....

Ella wearing her new Belle dress we found in the costume box, holding her Belle princess and watching Beauty and the Beast (well she was watching it before she fell asleep!)
Cassie and Kathy came over and had baby Tasmin with them.
She was born a few months before Lily. She was a little afraid of Lily.
Lily would get really close to her face and scream because she was so excited!

8 Months

Lily is already 8 months old!
Here are a few things she is doing...


Learning to clap and wave

Lily has recently discovered the jump and spin zebra. She loves to hold on to the handles and jump which makes the lights and music on the zebra go off. She is getting really good at standing on her own. In the past few days she has been trying to take a few steps. Usually she gets one step and then drops.
She also recently discovered Cheetos which she LOVES!

When my parents were here we ate lunch at the Mayan. Ella loves watching the divers and its nice to go to a sit down restaurant where Ella will be good!

Ella and Grandma Lyn

Mom and Dad
Me and Joe

Grandma Lyn bought Ella this fancy new dress when they were here
Joe took Ella on a riding/camping weekend (check his blog for pictures of that),
so I got to spend the weekend with Lily! Its amazing all the things you can get done with just one baby! I organized my closet and the girls closets, (took 7 big bags to the di!) I did about 400 loads of laundry, okay more like 5 but still a lot (and put it ALL away, thats the worst part of laundry, probably why I took so many clothes to di! ha). But mostly I spent my time reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. Its the second book in a series, the first is the Hunger Games. Great book, now I just have to wait for the third book! I also went to a Relief Society get together in Midway at a cabin. We had really good food and I had fun getting to know some of the ladies in our ward better. One lady runs marathons so I had a good time chatting with her about running. Today when Joe and Ella got home we took a few more bags to the DI and found a single jogging stroller for $10! I wanted to go jogging with just Lily this weekend but didn't want to push the giant double jogger so this work great!

Such a happy baby!

She has gotten pretty quick at walking along the furniture. She usually goes from the couch to the train table, then sits and crawls under the train table where she gets stuck!
Ella is in and out of the house all day playing with "her guys" so I have to leave the door semi open for her. But if it gets left open enough for Lily to realize its open, she takes off!
