Everyone loves a good laugh – especially a belly laugh from Lilly! Check out this video of Kristy and Lilly doing ‘the itsy bitsy spider’.
The past couple of weeks Lilly has enjoyed feeding us – especially the cat! She also holds out a toy to share (wonder how long that will last 🙂 ). Check out the videos below:
The other day I put Lilly down at the bottom of the steps for a second while I was picking something up, and I was shocked to watch her climb the steps one by one without any fear. Not really sure how she learned this, but she sure is fast!
Taking a quick break
No explanation necessary.
Lilly started babbling over the weekend. Bill and I can’t get enough of it – it’s the closest we’ve gotten to carrying on a conversation with her and a lot of the time she uses intonation to mark the beginning and end of a ‘sentence’. I kind of think she sounds like one of the muppets when she talks. So cute!
Lilly is cruising! She started walking along the fireplace hearth for the first time early this week. She’s also working on her balance – standing up while holding on with just one hand and letting go of things with both hands for just a moment before falling down.
Check out this video of Lilly cruisin’ with Cousin Jason:
My grandmother passed away today at the age of 93. She had hip surgery last week and did not come out of it well. She seemed to be doing very well earlier in the week but was transferred to hospice on Friday afternoon. I was very fortunate to see her Friday morning in one of her last lucid states. She told me over and over that she loved me and called me her ‘sweet girl’, which she often did. I was very close to my grandmother. We had a special relationship and it was difficult to watch her struggle these past four years. I know that she is in a better place now.
My mom is in town for the week. Here is a video of us doing the chicken dance with Lilly on Sunday night!
I’m pretty sure she thinks Grandma and I are a bit ‘coo-coo’! 🙂
We started Lilly on finger foods this week. She enjoys the rice puffs and will eat those but mostly plays with the rest of the foods we give her. I thought feeding her solid foods was messy when we started with rice cereal but it’s a whole lot messier now! So far she has tried small pieces of avocado, tofu, bananas, peaches, and bread. Watch her in action:
When Lilly got up from her afternoon nap she began saying “ma” repeatedly. She’s said “ma” and “ma ma” for awhile now, but not like this. She was very pleased with herself and I’m pretty sure it wen’t on for 2 hours straight this evening. Now we just have to teach her to say “da da”! 🙂
