More Eating, Sleeping & Playing (Week 32)

Lily finally discovers that she has feet. And that she can grab them.


She pulls on her pantleg to try and get her other foot closer.


It seems to be working.


" Sticking your tongue out makes it easier!"


"Look! I've got both of them!!"

"Oooh, what's this??? It looks like it would fit nicely in my mouth."


"Just like before, sticking the tongue out should help get it closer to my face."


"Almost....just need....to...try....a....little....harder...."



Success! The toe finally makes its way into the mouth.

A successful transfer from car seat to crib without waking up Lily....THAT doesn't happen very often!



Lily at *work* in her exersaucer. She has the prime real estate in the house!


Lily tries to escape from her bouncy chair....we only have a few more weeks left using this as a way to *contain* her...oh boy!


"Maybe if I just twist like this..."


"Or reach up real high..."



"Daddy, will you please help me escape? I promise I won't go after the tv remote, computer cables or your telephone" (a few of Lily's favourite *toys*)

Visiting Jody on the Island (Week 32)

April 30, 2010 - Lily and mommy visit Auntie Jody on the Island where we bake cupcakes, cookies (surprise) and a cherry cheesecake for daddy's birthday. Soon we will get to meet Jody & Scott's baby and Lily will have a new little girlfriend to play with. Christmas Bakefest next year will be....interesting....with two tiny helpers!


Lily hangs out in her exersaucer and supervises the baking. She likes what she sees!!


Auntie Jody and Lily talk about various things...you know, the weather, sports, world events.


Lily shows Auntie Jody she knows how to cooperate when getting her diaper changed :)


"Ahhhh...clean diapers are nice!"

Back to Kelowna! (Week 31)

On our way to Kelowna, we stop for a little break so Lily can have a snack. And have a chance to be silly! Which, as we know, she is very, very good at. Silly, after all, does rhyme with Lily.

Nana plays "buzz buzz bee" with Lily.

Time for baby yoga! Leg circles are first on the agenda.

It's important to exercise your arms, too.

And then...wait for it...arms and legs at the same time!

Lily tries out some of her own moves.

Talking to Baba and Grampa Hunter on Skype.

Good morning, Sleepyhead!

Lily visits with Grampa Couper.

A little good morning yawn.
"Why am I suddenly in the air??"

"Seriously. Why??"

"OK it looks like I might be up here for awhile..."

"I'm actually starting to enjoy it!"

"Hi Nana! Want to see one of my funny faces?"

"My funny faces go along with my funny hair."

"It's buzz buzz bee again...yay!!"

"He's getting closer..."

"Then flies away."

"Then gets closer again..."

"Hey...that kind of tickles!"

"I'll show Mr. Bee my tongue, too. Maybe he'll like it as much as everybody else seems to!"

"Look! Sideways tongue!"

"Hi Grampa! How are you?"

"I am fine."

"I like your face, Nana."

"Especially your mouth! It's the place where kisses come from."

"Go Canucks, go!"

"He shoots....but doesn't score :("

Bathtime! In the big girl bathtub!

"Woo hoo! Let's go!"

"Oh hi, daddy!"

"Look what I can do! Sticking my tongue out helps me swim. Really."

Somebody got some sun!

Breakfast time.
Lily hard at *work* in her exercauser. So many things to do, so little time!

Lily shows Nana her favourite Winnie the Pooh book.

"Oh, hello!"

"Is there anything on sale that I would like, Grampa?"

"Yummmm...prunes!"

"I think Grampa needs a little more practice feeding me."

"I'm a little sad 'cause we have to go home today."
Getting ready to load Lily and her 4,000 toys into the truck to go back to Vancouver.
Milk break!!!

Back at home, mommy tells daddy she has a *situation* (note the fistful of hair Lily has) and needs some help...instead of coming to help, daddy runs and gets the camera :) Thanks daddy!
