Little toy hogger

Yesterday while at the library I noticed something about Lily.

She was going up to all the other babies and taking their toys.

I know that they all do it around this age because they always want what the other has but then… I came home and was looking at pictures I took while she played.

I couldn’t believe it!

Lily is a little toy hogger!!!!

Up and about!

The days of just lounging on the blanket while playing at the park are coming to an end.

These little ones are up and about these days.

They are all crawling off the blanket and wanting to join the big kids on the playground.

Oh, we had good times on that blanket…

Baller!!!!

Lily has been loving her small blow-up beach ball.

She plays with it at the beach and the other day we took it to the park as well.

It’s the perfect size for her and she just loves practicing her throw. ;)

Photo challenge!

Joining The Paper Mama with her weekly photo challenge.

This week’s challenge: EXCITEMENT

Now we all know that Lily is for the most part a serious girl but she does get excited every once in a while.

I have never seen such excitement in her face like the time we went swimming at Whittaker.

It was her first time and she was so excited to be there.

She wasn’t the only one, avo Joao was pretty excited too! ;)

10 month babble!

I can’t believe Lily is 10 months old today.

10 months!!!!!

She is only 2 months away from being 1!

At 10 months she now has 4 teeth on top and is getting 2 more on the bottom making it a total of 8 teeth.

She is not quite walking yet but is so close and so eager to do so.

She stands up and back down with the help of objects but not quite on her own just yet.

She eats all sorts of food. (including mine and Will’s) ;)

She sleeps all through the night. From 8pm until 7am. (YAY!!!!)

Lately she has been only taking 1 nap instead of the 2 she used to.

She is smiling more and more, but don’t think she lost her serious side all the way…..

And at home she is a little babbling fool. :)

HAPPY 10 MONTHS LILY!!!!!!!!!!!! We love you soooooooooooo much!

Still one of my favorite things…..

One of my favorite things to do with Lily when we are home is to lounge and play on mine and Will’s bed.

It is something that she and I have been doing since she was born and it never gets old.

Actually, as she gets older, it gets better!

We cuddle, wrestle, laugh, tickle, sing and every once in a while she even leans over and gives me beijinhos! (Portuguese for kisses)

It is just the best!

A saturday afternoon with daddy

Saturday afternoon while I went on a little shopping outing with a friend, Lily and Will had some daughter and daddy time to themselves.

Will took Lily to the park at South Point.

A great park that was renovated a while ago where you can catch some great sunsets as well as watch the ships go by.

They had a great time!

All photos by Will (aka Lily’s dad). Not only is he a great husband and father but he is also an awesome photographer. ;)

Lily and uncle Darren

Oh Lily and uncle Darren…..

These two had quite the little love fest this past weekend.

They had a great time at the beach on saturday.

And then yesterday, Lily snuggled up next to uncle Darren on the couch and fell asleep! (and continued on snuggling once she woke up.)

She has never even done that with either Will nor I.

We are all soooooo happy that Lily no longer starts crying at the very sight of her uncle Darren.

We knew this day would come. :)
