Adorableness is all I have to say about this child. O.k. That isn’t all. I could talk for hours about this sweet baby girl. If I could only say one word about her, that word would be JOY.
But since I have an entire language in which I can choose words from. JOY just tops the list. Adorable, Sweet, Cute. Happy, JOY BABY. And yes…from the womb, NINJA BABY still fits her very nicely.
Crawling, a tooth, standing, a few reluctant steps, lots of big open mouth (hers) kisses. What an amazing, beautiful part of my family, part of my life.

Lily took her first steps today.
She seemed annoyed and scared that she was doing it. But she still did it!
For the most part she just stands there grunting and flapping her arms. Maybe she is hoping to fly instead?

Sweet Baby Lily is now 9 months old.
I am woefully behind on her pediatrician visits. But if I were to guess, she is now about 20 pounds.
She is happy, happy, happy. Toothless, and still a crawler (rather than a walker).
She is such a Joy. Such a wonderful little person.

I’ve been trying to get some photos of the Little girls, and me with the little girls. Our attempt today was laughable, but we had a good time, and Zoe thought it was a game.
Looks like I need to try again

Costco shoppers anyway…
A few weeks ago we were at Costco. The shopping cart ran over Zoe’s bare foot. Screaming toddler, blood everywhere. I take her and run to the bathrooms….a trail of blood behind us and the howls of a toddler in pain. The women’s bathroom was closed. Not sure why. Big signs that said “Keep out, Danger”. Hmmm, me thinks it isn’t just closed for cleaning. We run into the Men’s bathroom. What else was I suppose to do? Let my child bleed all over their store? I clean her up, wash, pressure. We find someone to find us a bandaid. She had a nasty cut on her foot. But it has healed well.
Fast forward to today
Costco again, another shopping cart accident. Not nearly so bloody.
I put Zoe and Lily in the cart side by side today. That is the cool thing about the Costco shopping carts. A bit later Lily starts fussing. But she is really fussy today. But soon enough I took note. Her foot was caught in the cart. Not just caught. It is good and stuck! Poor little thing was fussing because she couldn’t get her foot out. I try. Nope, she is good and stuck. I try some more. I’m starting to panic a little bit. Her foot is stuck in this cart. I finally caught the attention of a couple of ladies to help. Nope, This chubby little foot would not budge. We tried different angles, lifting her body. She was stuck. Well, the comotion caught the attention of a man who knew just what to do. We lifted Zoe out, lifted the seat a bit and her foot slid right out. A bit bruised but she will be fine.
Now, you have been warned.

I am not sure where the time has gone. But my sweet baby Lily is 8 months old. She is such a joy. I call her my joy baby 
I am so very blessed to have this person in my family.
Lily’s latest accomplishment is climbing! I think I can officially call her miss trouble now too. She is into everything she can get into. But she is the sweetest little baby. I love her.
I think she is teething (she is chewing on everything)
More chewing…the photos weren’t going to happen without something for her to chew on.
There is one that shows her pretty little face

Most babies take a nap during the day. Often one or two, one or two hour naps during the middle of the day. These naps or made for sleeping. After all, I believe that is the definition of a nap.
Lily isn’t so much into naps as she is into un naps. What is an un nap, you ask? An un nap is the opposite of a nap. Instead of taking place during the middle of the day, these un naps happen in the middle of the night. And instead of sleeping, well, the child is awake!
Just like a nap, these un naps last one or two hours and happen once or twice during the night.
If your baby naps instead of un naps, count yourself lucky. But I think I will count myself lucky that my sweet baby girl un naps. Yes, I am a little lot more tired than I otherwise would be. But I get hours during the night to snuggle on and love my baby girl. Just the two of us in the quiet wee hours of the night.
On other Lily news. She had her 7 1/2 month well baby appointment. She comes out at 18 pounds 2 ounces, 27 1/4 inches long and a head circumfrence of 17 1/4 inches. This makes her about 50% all the way around. She also recieved a HIB and Prevnar Shot.

We moved into this house a year ago last week. I spent some time thinking about what a busy, eventful year we had. The big ones…
1. We moved to a new house! I love our house. It has been a good move.
2. We had a new baby She is so absolutely the sweetest, happiest little thing. Such a Joy. I am so grateful to have her.
3. I started a new business. It is something I really enjoy.
These were all changes, good changes. Especially the beautiful baby girl.

She is growing way too fast IMO but what do you do? I soak up every moment I have with her.
She is babbling fluently now. We don’t understand much of it. But she says “Mama” and I think maybe “Night Night”. She pulls up on everything. She loves to be held and I love holding her. She is such a Joy.
