Happy Thanksgiving!

My sister-in-law snapped some pics of Lil after church last Sunday. We pretty much have a walker! She is taking several series of steps all by herself. I got her a pair of squeaky shoes, so she LOVES to hear them squeak everytime she steps. We are looking forward to a traditional, yummy Thanksgiving at my grandmother's house!

Christmas Cards

I am so excited to order our Christmas cards this year! And even more excited that Shutterfly is offering 50 Free Cards to Bloggers! Yay! We usually send out 150 or so each year (Dustin likes to send one to all his customers, too), so 50 free really helps! Shutterfly's prices are so great to begin with! I am really impressed with their designs this year, they have so many great ones to choose from. I am really liking this one and this one. It will be a tough decision....do I want fun or sophisticated? I am also thinking of ordering photo books or calendars of Lillian's first year as gifts for family. We got our Christmas pics taken over the weekend, so look for a sneak peak and stay tuned to see what card we chose!

Lil's First Party

We celebrated Lillian's first birthday party on the common area in Reunion. I was so worried about the weather, frost was predicted! I had scheduled her party for a morning brunch, but ended up pushing it back an hour. The weather actually turned out perfect!

Lil is in love with our boxer, but we don't let her near him yet. He is still too rowdy, so we got her a stuffed one. She LOVES him!

She Loved her cozy coupe from Grammy and Jimdaddy, and her red wagon from Neena and Papaw!

I think Lillian had a blast and I was so pleased with how everything turned out!

Happy Birthday Lillian!

This time last year I looked like this:

My Baby has gone from this:

To This:

In ONE short year! It amazes me how fast this year has flown by! This has been the very best year of my entire life, and I look forward to many many more wonderful years with this sweet little girl!!!

My Little Mermaid

My Lillian was a mermaid for this year's Fall Festival at our church!

On the mule aka "green machine" on Halloween.

She LOVES to ride on the mule!

Eleven Months

My baby is almost a one year old! I can not believe it. She is so much fun and so full of personality! She is eating anything and everything and loves it all! She is clapping, waving bye-bye, giving kisses, and making funny faces. She can walk with her push toy, but she is still scared to do it all by herself. Bath time is her favorite. She will literally soak the entire room and everyone in it. She LOVES the itsy bitsy spider and patty cake. She loves to swing.

A weird thing she does (Dustin taught her this) is that she loves to head-butt you....only if she likes you! She will do it mid-air too. If she likes you, she will throw her chin down, forhead high and cut her eyes at you. It is hilarious. I will be pushing her through Kroger, and she will do it random people through this store....it is too funny.

This is her head-butt pose.

She also thinks it is hilarious to squinch her eyes really hard....

Such a personality! I love this girl with all my heart and can not believe how big she has gotten! We are looking forward to her first birthday!

Any suggestions on where to get a good cake??

Game Day & TEN Months

Game Day Ready! Sadly, we will be watching the game from the comfort of our home, since we have no babysitter. Lil is ready, though! Thanks to Emily for the adorable outfit.

Lillian turns TEN months today! I can not believe I will have a one year old in two months. She is so much fun. And already my best friend. =)

Dustin and I are celebrating three years of marriage! Our anniversary was September 1st, but I was too busy getting ready for Grace's lingerie shower (which deserves a post of its own) to celebrate. We will be celebrating this weekend! Dustin took off work all day Thursday to get the yard and outside of the house ready for Grace's shower. He is so good to me. I love him.
I leave you with this cute face.
