Twenty-five Weeks Old!!

This was a pretty great week for Lily! Her Daddy came home from Nevada on Friday night and she got to spend 4 days straight with him! She also started drinking [water] from a sippy cup! I was kind of toying with the idea of starting her on one and then while we were at lunch over the weekend my friend Nichole suggested that I just start her after she saw the way she was reaching for our cups and drinking from our straws! So we made the leap later that night with her super cute cup that her Grandma Linda and Grandpa George bought her for Christmas! She took to it right away and is handling the cups very easily! She will pick it up off of the floor, out of our hands, off the table and put it right up to her mouth and go to town!! I was soooo proud!
She also had a few different veggies this week! She started squash and loved it and then went to carrots and loved those as well! She is eating a container a day and yesterday had one and a half before she finally let me know she was done! It was crazy!
She is a teething machine! She's just getting warmed up though... still no teeth! But it just gets more and more intense everyday! And her gums are turning white now too! I posted a little poll over on the left side of the screen. Go ahead and vote on which tooth you think she'll get first!! I thought it would be a fun little game to include everyone! [silly Heather!]
Any who. Thomas came to a photo shoot with me on Sunday to help out with Lily! It was so great to have them there! I would have missed Lily so much if they had stayed home! I took a few pictures of them before the family got to the park since we had some time to kill! They aren't that great because Lily was grumpy and Thomas was just plain silly! But I love the ones I got!
Lily figured out that she could move in her walker the other day! She has been pushing herself backwards in it for a while but never really paid any attention to it! But one day she just looked at me and laughed and pushed back and seemed so startled that she had moved closer to me and then did it again! It was so sweet! She just started to slowly move closer and closer to me with the proudest look on her face! [i love her]
