Helping out

Simon is getting a little more used to his little sister. He still doesn't like is when she cries or is very loud, but he has some solutions. When she cries he usually tells us one of the following: 1) Lillian is Lonely (capital L lonely); 2) Lillian is hungry, you should feed her; 3) Don't nose suck her. Recently he learned the pacifier can help and so when she cries he tries to pat her leg or bell and says 'don't cry, it's ok' and 'come here' and then he tries to give her a pacifier. He is a great big brother. 

She loves those birds as much as he did!

Yet another snow day.

On one of the very cold snowy days we made a car wash for Simon's new matchbox cars. Soapy water in one tray and baking soda in the other. When that got boring (after 30+ minutes) we dumped some vinegar in the baking soda tray and the game was almost new again (another 15ish minutes of play!). Bonus is that all spills actually helped clean the table and floor. 

A few pictures of Lillian at the end holding up her head.... look at that neck strength! She is very advanced for her age!

This week of fun!

Doctor Simon 

At Gymboree!

Lilly was so alert at Gymboree and watching all those toddler boys play wore her out so then she needed to pass out!!!

Cute outfit. Pre-puke

Sleepy time kids

It was nap time and Simon wanted to pretend to sleep on the couch and Lilly was passed out in her bouncer. Shhhhhh

Lillian Tummy Time

I realized we've been posting lots of Lillian pictures but very few videos of her.  So here's one of her doing some tummy time a couple days ago

The Story of Sick Lilly

A couple weeks ago Simon got sick, and Lillian was all

New Year's Day Snow

On New Year's Eve we had the first of many recent snow storms.  The next morning it was still snowing heavily, so Simon and I went out to shovel and play around.  The last time we got much snow (a few weeks ago) Simon was too sick to go out and play.  So this was the first time since last winter that he had a chance to play around in a snowstorm.  We had a great time but decided we should probably both get some better gloves since our fingers got cold pretty quickly.
