Good Morning to you too!

(Great) Grandpa Martin's 80th Birthday/ Mitchler Easter

On Saturday March 22nd, we celebrated

(Great) Grandpa Martin's 80th Birthday

at the Mitchler's. It was so great to surprise him by having all the family together (all but Kristina, who's in Calgary). We also celebrated Easter. Sarah and Amanda (and Lily) had an Easter Egg Hunt in the front yard (thank you for Auntie Jackie and Grandma Mitchler for making it so special). We had a great dinner prepared by Grandma Mitchler. The decorations were perfect. We all had such a great time. Here are some pictures...

Still not liking the ears, but looks so cute!

Holy! It's been a long time! Sorry...

Holy! It's almost been a month since I've last put up something! It's been so busy (obviously)!

Well, the past couple of weeks Lily's been taking steps on her own. Still lazy though and would rather crawl. She enjoys reading books and playing with Moxie (the cat). She really likes helping Daddy go and get the mail to bring back to Mommy. (she has become quite the Daddy's girl!)

Can't believe she's already 10 months old!

Here's what she's been up to lately.....

Went to visit Great Grandma Hill (Pudleiner)

This is Lily's "owl shirt"

See! *Laughs*

She can hold the bottle herself now
And she really likes to share

We had another playdate with our friends from Prenatal class. The ages range from 9-11 months old! It was amazing to see them moving around, playing with each other (and stealing toys!). Quin's walking, Noah's bum scooting and Elizabeth pulls along on her tummy! Here are some pictures from the fun day.

Lily loved this activity table

CHECK OUT THIS BUM SCOOT!! (I couldn't stop lauging at Noah the whole time!)
Lily snuggled up to Karin a lot that day

Lily (and most of the other babies) got sick after this playdate. Lily's fever has finally come down today but she's still not eating much (she can't hold it down). It's so hard to see them sick. :( I actually had to take her to the doctor for the first time as I was worried she had an ear infection. But she got the "all clear". We're just waiting for her to feel better. Hopefully it's soon, cause Mommy has to go back to work on Monday. :( Poor little muffin.

Daddy took these pictures when I was on a night shift and hadn't seen Lily in 2 days. He sent them to me in an email. Very sweet!

Love the double chin on this one!

Here's Lily eating her veggies :)
