8 Months

 I'm 8 months old! All of a sudden I'm a big girl. I can sit up unsupported, say 'Mama' and almost crawl.

Summertime Silliness


Summer is in high gear in DC. It is hot, hot, hot. I can finally wear all those cute outfits from friends and family. It's also a time to wear hats to protect my skin and show off my style.

I've been on a bunch of fun play dates, to the pool and on many a walk. I'm a pro at helping mommy pick out things (aka try to eat them).

First Word


On July 14, 2013 (Bastille Day)...the craziest thing happened. I opened my mouth wide, pursed my lips, smacked them together...and out came Mama

First 4th of July


USA! USA! USA! 
My first fourth did not go off with a bang. Mommy had to work and it was VERY hot out. I wore a special outfit from Nonna and took a walk, but was in bed by 7pm. Mommy and Daddy said when I get older we will grill and watch the fireworks. Can't wait!

7 Months

Sono sette mesi oggi (I'm 7 months today- June 20th)

Just yesterday I was swimming in mommy's tummy. Now I can sit up, scootch around and babble. I love to observe everything around me and see all the colors and shapes. Although I still try to eat them, I love reading books. Thank you to everyone for providing me with such a big collection of stories. I just got a new activity center/jumper. You can see me enjoying it in the photos below. 
Now that it's warm out - I got to dip my feet in the pool a few times. We take walks and mommy points out all the plants and birdies. It's fun not to wear all those layers, but now I need sunblock - yuck! 
Recently I saw my cousins, whom I love, but I was very sleepy. It's hard being a baby...can never get too many naps =) Speaking of cousins, special congratulations goes to my buddy Ruby on receiving her Hebrew name. Miss and love you. Happy 10 months!!! Also, we are VERY excited for mommy's childhood friends Tricia and Chrissy on their impending arrivals. Any day now! Can't wait to meet my new friends.
Love you all! xo Lily

Baby Beach-Bunny Bliss

...now say that 5 times fast...

For the first time, I felt the sand in my toes and saw the waves crashing on the beach. It was a strange, but beautiful place. I hope I get to go again.

 



I bless thee
