Fooled Ya!

Well I said yesterday was my last entry for a week but I tricked ya! Mommy had to log in at work for a couple hours so she thought, "Eh? Why not?" I want to tell you about my night.

I had a TERRIBLE night! I slept for a collective 3 hours last night. What is going on? All I know is that there are boxes everywhere and Mommy and Daddy were up late trying to finish packing themselves so I thought last night would be a good night to stay up and cry all night. Mommy relented (pretty early I must say) and brought me into bed where I proceeded to kick and scream and pull hair. I also determined last night that my pacifier was no substitute for the real thing, that being Mommy, and Mommy was so desperate to get me to just sleep for 15 minutes she has callouses now. Sorry, Mommy.

So here are some pictures of me in the morning. We'll pretend they were from this morning, but they were in fact from a couple weeks ago. Hopefully this will hold you all over until I move to Kentucky and get settled. Or who knows? Maybe I'll trick you again.

Love,

Stinka Lilly

Highlights

Today we slept in a little and it felt GOOD! I love sleeping in. Especially when we have so much work to do, which, we have a lot of work to do!

So that being said I am officially signing off the blog for the next week or so. I'm just too busy!

As you probably know, we had a party for Daddy this weekend. Everyone came and trashed the house, but we don't care 'cause we're moving! Now we're packing up all of our boxes and getting ready for the movers who come tomorrow! I think we are about halfway there. We might start to panic this afternoon, we'll see. I won't panic though, so long as Mommy and Daddy don't pack me and my toys I'll be okay.

Here are some pictures highlighting the weekend. Is highlighting a word? Maybe my Uncle Dan will let me know. On second thought, I don't care if it is a word or not. I'm a seven month old baby! I can say what I want and use all the incorrect grammar I want!

That's all for now, folks! Next time you hear from me I will be a Louisvillian!

Love,

Lilly

Introducing...Dr. Daddy!

What a weekend! I don't even know where to start! So much happened this weekend it makes my baby head spin. I will have to get to it all later, because I am seven months old and I have a short attention span.
Since today is THE day I will just for now focus on my Daddy! My Daddy took the Hippopotamus Oath today and became a real Doctor! I am so proud of Daddy! Congratulations, Daddy! You worked real hard, no matter what Mommy says! I realize this day changes the whole dynamic of your marriage to Mommy because now she can't tease you about being a mere career student, you are a Doctor! You will actually be making some money now. Does this mean Mommy can't go to Janie & Jack and buy me expensive baby dresses because you will have some say now that you are bringing home some bacon? I hope not. I know Mommy is creative and will come up with some good reason to spend too much money on me, no matter who brings home the bacon.
Daddy, you are more educated than Mommy will ever be (but Mommy says that doesn't necessarily make you smarter, or wittier, she has to keep you in check somehow, that's why you married her, so you don't develop a Doctor Ego). But Daddy, I digress. I was so proud of you today I stayed quiet for the whole two-hour ceremony, and when Mommy started to cry when you got your diploma, I pulled her hair and then I licked her shoulder. After that, I just wanted you to hold me.
Congratulations Dr. Daddy! I love you sooooo much!
XOXOXOXO
Love,
Lilly
P.S. Grampa and Grammy, we really missed you. But Grampa, you need to take it easy and get better. That way you'll have no excuses when I graduate, you will be there! I know it seems far away but I hear preschool just flies by! I love you, Grampa! Feel better.

Timber!

Me New Casa!

Check it out! Daddy went down for the inspection today and it went fine except for some little things here and there. Daddy had a minor panic attack when he realized just how much work Mommy has in store for him with this new house. That's my Mommy for you!

Have a happy holiday weekend!

Love,

Lilly

P.S. If you have specific picture requests from my 6-month shoot post them here or email Mommy. Mommy has lots and lots (like over 80) wallet pictures and 5x7's. Just lemme know what ya want and I'll deliver!

Out takes!

Hello everyone,

You've probably noticed I've updated my blog every day for the past week or so. That's because my Grampa has been checking and I want to give him some news every day and some pictures to keep his spirits up so he can feel better and get back up and at 'em! But things are starting to get super busy for little me right now so I might not be able to keep this up! But bear with me for the next couple weeks!

Mommy and Daddy found another - BETTER, CHEAPER! - house in Louisville and we are trying to close on it May 30. Are we crazy or what? Daddy goes down for the inspection tomorrow. This house's basement has been professionally waterproofed already and you know what that means to Mommy and Daddy! It's such a cute house! I will post pictures when I can. It is a great house for me, there are lots of hiding places! It will be so fun to play hide and seek!

This weekend is my Daddy's graduation party. Way to go, Daddy! You are finally out of school and you are 31 years old! Will you pay for me to spend that much time in school? You won't? You'll be too busy still paying off your own student loans? Man! Why wasn't I born into a family with an attending for a Daddy?! Silly Mommy and Daddy, marrying for love and not money. Crazy.

I got my pictures taken today! You'll all be getting several beautiful photos of me not smiling. Because that's what I do! I don't smile for the camera. AT ALL! Here are some cute bloopers of my photo shoot today. I guess there's no baby modeling in my future. I just don't have the temperament for it. I'm too much of a baby diva.

Ciao folks!

Love,

Lilly

Today Is My Birthday! Lucky Seven Months!

Today is my birthday! Na na na na na na! Tomorrow I'm going to the photographer to get my 6 month pictures taken. Yep, I said 6 month pictures, and I'm 7 months old. That's an improvement over my 3 month pictures, which I finally got taken when I was 4 1/2 months old. Mommy has been a little preoccupied lately, what with all the stuff going on. Six months, seven months, eh...it's all good. Either way I'm cute as a button!

I didn't get a cupcake today, just some more sweet potatoes. I like to grab the spoon when Mommy is feeding me and today I had fun trying to feed Mommy! For real! Look, see? Mommy pretended to eat and it made me giggle. You should see some of the goofy stuff Mommy and Daddy do to make me giggle. Two grown 30-somethings acting like idiots just to get a little laugh out of me. It's so great. I own them. I own you, Mommy!

And I own you, too, Silly Reader! Bwaaaa-ha-ha-ha!

Love,

Lilly
