The Most Fun Age

These are a bunch of random pictures and videos that I am so behind in posting! There's no structure except for the consistent cuteness of Lily! Enoy.

We've been doing a lot more fun things with Lily. It's sad that she'll be TWO in a month, but we are able to do a lot more stuff with her now! These pictures are from a day I took to Lily to one of my favorite spots: "Magness" River. Its a really beautiful place with neat rock formations and lovely greenish water. She wasn't quite coordinated enough to play on the rocks, but

Cuteness: an Extravaganza

For Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Joooonah!

Lily LOVES pictures!! She's loves pointing to people or things in the photos and asking "What is that? Whatisthatwhatisthatwhatisthat?" It was really cute when she pulled Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Jonah's picture off the fridge....

Happy 13 Months Lilian Mae!!

I thought you all would enjoy this video of Lily laughing. Its been awhile since I've been able to catch her! Jeremy and I have been noticing that she is like her mama, she doesnt laugh easily. But her smiles make up for it!!

I cant believe its already been a month since Lily turned ONE! The time is flying. September has been such a busy, but good month for our family. We are headed to Greenville this weekend for my 10-year high school reunion. I cant wait to see my best friends that I met 14 years ago, who are still some of my besties!! I love you all!! (I know Mimi, Papaw, and Aunt Haley are just a little excited to spend time with Lily too, since they have only seen her once in the past three months.)

I will try to take a lot of pictures this weekend.

SO EXCITED!

8 Months

This post is gonna be random. I have been trying to find time to put together some good posts, but I have resigned myself to the fact that its just not gonna happen. Things have certainly taken a turn for the busy.

Lily is 8 months old now! Time is flying by. I thought we'd never get through those first few months, and now I cant keep up!

She is doing new things almost every day. Randomly this weekend she started clapping, and is ALMOST CRAWLING! We had little warning; I thought we were a few weeks away! We had some issues this past week with multiple, unrelated rashes, and went to the Dr. two times (AAHHHH!!!), but I think everything is worked out now. Pray for her little body to conquer these invaders that have messed her up a little, and for her mama to eat the right things to help with this.


She has been rollingall over our living room for a month at least, but now has figured out how to roll into other rooms.

Curiosity:
She chose a John Piper book to read...hmmm....maybe we have a future reformed theologian on our hands :)

What-A-Weekend

We had a great weekend - full of walks, good food, and quality time with a cute, chubby baby. Jeremy was gone to IL to see Uncle Jonah's play (which was AMAZING, I hear), and Aunt Haley came up to stay with Lily and I for her spring break! She was such a HUGE help.
She and Lily really bonded. Lily would watch everything she did, and her eyes would follow wherever Haley walked.

Thanks Aunt Haley for a wonderful weekend!

Lily was really glad that Daddy made it home safely last night after his driving adventure. She missed him (I could tell).

Thanks Grandma for the hilarious toy!! :)

All In A Day

tired baby...

Calm baby...

Happy baby....

Excited to Be Home

It was the most fun to get home Sunday night after being gone for 9 days. Lily definitely remembered our home and was especially happy to see her favorite lamp, ceiling fan, the pictures on the fridge, and bookshelves. She was visibly excited!

This video goes out to Aunt Haley.

Lily Meets (Some) Wagners

On the way back from our FL trip, we stopped in Greenville to welcome Meemaw and Peepaw to South Carolina! We are SOOOO happy to have them closer!

Here are 4 Generations of Wagner Women!!

Meemaw holding Lily for the first time.
Peepaw holding Lily for the first time.
Lily's Great Aunt Susie!

Above, Aunt Haley is reading "B is for Bear" to Lily. Below, Aunt Haley is reading the Outback Drink Menu to Lily. She was enthralled with both.

Happy Birthday Mimi!!

4 Month Drs Appointment!

We were a few weeks late on for her 4 month checkup since we were out of town for Christmas. Dr. Farmer was really pleased with Lily's weight, growth, and health in general! Here are some things she was looking for:

Increasing Vocalization and Physical Activity:

Shrieks of Joy:

Laughter:

Finding her Toes:

Bearing Weight on Her Legs:

Smiling:

....amongst other things! She weighs 15 lbs, 10 oz, and is 25 inches long! She is doing great.

Cousin Johnny is FUNNY

One of the highlights of our trip to IL was the increasing frequency of Lilian's laughs! Below are three videos of Lily's second cousin, Johnny (who is apparently a comedian), making her laugh! I hope you can hear her; there was much laughter from everyone present.

We havent been able to imitate this humor that she founds so hilarious, which apparently is understood and demonstrated only by children under age 5.

The "J" is Soft

Presenting: Lily's first laugh. (Ja Ja WOO = "Let's Go Duke")

Jeremy and I have realized recently that we will do just about anything to make her smile, laugh, or safe - looking like a complete fool is worth it. Thanks, Sarah, for being present to capture this....

Enjoy. I hope you can hear her, it sounds like heaven.
