Lily's Baptism

8-Jul-07

July 8, 2007

Today marks 6 months since our Lily was placed in our arms forever! It is funny that in some ways we feel like she has always been with us, and in others it feels like she just got here. Lily has truly blossomed over these past months. Chris and I have loved watching her change from a scared baby on our first day together to a curious, funny, loving toddler! She just had her 18 month check up. She has gained 2 more pounds making her a hearty 22 lbs :-) and she has grown another 2 inches as well. She tops out now at 30 in! She is still only in the 15% for everything but she is just going to be a petite flower (just like her name!). She is now using a spoon or a fork to feed herself. She gets a HUGE smile on her when she gets it on there just right! We play lots of what we call "baby" to help prepare her for her new baby sister. She will get her baby and put her to sleep. It is very sweet! She is just learning sooooooo much and it seems like everyday there is something new that she is doing.

On June 24th Lily had her Baptism! It was a wonderful service. She sat very good through the whole thing and even liked the water being poured on her forehead! The funniest part is that Chris taught her a new word the week before. So for some of the time all you could here her saying was Yoda!!! But she doesn't say it the way you would think... she says yoooooDAAAA!!! It is sooooooooo cute! After the service we all went over to Lake Waterford and she had a blast. Since we never got to have her a real first birthday party we decided to have a big party for her. We chose a Blue's Clues theme because she LOVES it! Grandpa Cliff got a GREAT picture of her in her Blue Ears! She eat lots of cake and had a great time. In fact she partied so hard that she was asleep before we even got out to the main road! LOL Thanks again to everyone that came and made our Lily's day soooooo great!

On a final note some of you may already have gotten an email about Chris and I making Lily's website private. Since I know that some of you were not included on that email I will post it again below. You will need it in order to see the pictures on her site. Sorry about that inconvenience, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Love,
Megan
