Musical Toy

Here is a musical table that we bought for Lily. It came yesterday and it's quite fun. Lily LOVES beating on the drums. I will have to get a video of that as well. At this point, she is mostly interested in bitting on the drum sticks...but mommy and daddy are having fun! LOL

Because my kid is a genius

This activity cube as this little doors (see the Zebra colored)- Well, she LOVES this toy and we practice saying the words over and over. And one day, she said Zebra and Frog. It's quite amazing.

Lily has a few new words:


1. Zebra (and I have video proof that I will post later)


2. Frog


3. Ball


4. Spoon


5. Dada


6. and of course: Mama (but she has been saying that for a while)

7. Tiger - but it sounds like "ger"

Vacation to Chicago.

The Bean...Can you find Lily and Joe?

Listening to an orchestra practicing. it was very nice.

On this cool bridge on our way to the Bean. It was made out of Stainless Steel. Very hot to the touch.

Ahhh...yes, my kid has very expensive taste.

The Bean is a cool place to take pictures. It actually looks like Joe is higher than us.

This water feature was FULL of kids. These two towers have water that runs down then and about 1 inch of water on the ground. And the towers spray a huge stream of water out of those imagines' mouths. Very cool.

Family photo along the lake front. I was half tempted not to post this picture..not a great picture of my stomach! LOL Damn that bellybutton!

Here's a rare picture of baby and daddy. Daddy is usually the one shooting the pictures.

Mommy and baby with the Shedd in the background..

Trip to Wisconsin

Lily Loves the water. Look how happy she is!!! We need a pool!

The Kannich Family!

Splish and splash...fun like this is all we could wish!

Grandpa and his Lily(s)!

Here is the police dog in training Lily got to visit. I don't know if he was tasting her or what. But she liked the doggie either way.

Should I have been worried that this dog just ate my kid's ear off??

Visit from Grandparents and Cousins

Yesterday, Lily had some visitors: Grandma and Grandpa K, Jacob and Tyler! Lily was excited to see everyone. We took her swimming at their hotel and Grandma and Grandpa got to see her wonderful swimming skills. Then we went to dinner at the Bass Pro Shop and we had a good time. She enjoyed looking at all the fishes and playing with EVERYTHING. She even was hanging with her cousins looking at the toy guns. She wanted one! Or she just wanted to climb it...who knows.


Lily trying to convince grandpa to buy her the ATV. I think she almost got it!

Here is a picture of Jacob and Tyler. I was trying to get this huge Hammer Head Shark in the picture too- that was above them, but to no avail. It's not very clear because of the lack of light.

I don't know why grandpa is so happy about almost being eaten by a bear....but he was!

STANDING

Lily stood on her own two feet this weekend!!! It's not long before she starts walking. Oh man!!

I have so many pictures and videos to post. I am making time to do that this week!!!

Slept through the night!

Yes...can it be true...did my 8 month old baby sleep through the night??? FINALLY??? I am not used to this type of sleeping, nor is my poor boobs! She went to sleep at 9:30 and woke up at 6:15am. I wonder if she will start making this a habit? I rather her wake up once to nurse, because from 4:30am on, I couldn't sleep because my boobs hurt too bad! LOL
