Happy Thanksgiving!

We have so much to be thankful for this year and we are so happy to be celebrating our first Thanksgiving together as a little family! Lily is seven months old today and she is the greatest little blessing and we are so very thankful for her!

Today is the first Thanksgiving I will be spending away from my sisters and I miss them! Katie lives in Austin now and is spending Thanksgiving with her boyfriend, Kent, and his family. Jenny lives in Irvine and is actually cooking an entire Thanksgiving feast for her and her boyfriend, Derek! I am so impressed by her ambitious cooking! Sisters, I miss you and love you very much!! I am thankful for each of you and I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are some pictures of our little seven month old! She is so much fun lately and really has such a little personality.




Lily and I fell down the stairs at our house last weekend... It was quite scary and Lily got quite the goose egg on her head. She was tough but Austin and I were quite worried about her. She took her first visit to the ER just to make sure her little head was okay and it was. Below is a picture of her bruise (and the tip of Austin's nose).



The next few pictures are of Lily with her sippy cup. She is just learning how to drink out of it on her own and she loves having her own little cup.



Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends and family out there! We love you!!

Our Little Flower

Lily’s first Halloween was so much fun! We took her to a pumpkin patch, she was invited to a costume party, and we went trick or treating! Here are some fun photos from the pumpkin patch.

Bald Head - Baby Belly and Lily's First Squash Adventure

Hello Internet,

This is Lily's dad typing. I promised Suzanne I would post to this website when she created it a few months ago. So here goes nothing!

Suzanne thought it would be best to make our own baby food for Lily - sans perservatives, additives, grossness, and anything else that may go in to those little glass jars of goo. So after several hours in the kitchen, and a vegetable mess later, Lily had her homemade baby food. Sweet potatoes, squash, and sweet peas were her menu for the next weeks.

Editors note: Most adults would not choose to eat a large bowl of any of these three items alone. I don't recall the last time I sat around and craved a large bowl of squash or sweet peas. Heck, I don't even recall the last time I wanted peas on my dinner plate period. In the support of sweet potatoes - I do like you when people make you in to french fries.

Needless to say and as the videos shows, her menu has now been reduced by one vegetable.

Lily and I like to hang out. We don't do much, we just hang out. Sometimes we make goofy faces, and talk about her friend Agoo. Sometimes we dance, and then we bounce. Most of the time we laugh. One of our latest fun things to do is Bald Head - Baby Belly. She digs it, and typically gives it a good laugh. So while in San Francisco man sitting while Suzanne worked, I decided to get it on video.

That's all I have for now. It's time for Lily's veggies, followed by a round of Bald Head - Baby Belly.
